rock n' roll homebodies

it amuses us to no end that we wound up backstage at avalon on saturday night. you know we hardly go out, and even more rare are the occasions when we see live music. but our new neighbor/friend tom happened to know some of the decemberists, and kindly got us some last minute tickets for this weekend, so off we all went.

the band sounded great live (they even had a crafty whale that paraded around the stage during "the mariner's revenge song." you know we love that stuff.) and the band members we met afterwards were really nice. ann might have even wrangled nate query into playing golf with her the next time he's in town. but maybe not.





we liked them so much we invited them to brunch the next day, at our house, and guess what? chris CAME. we loved that he came, and brought his lovely family along with him. and we got the chance ooh and ahh over his beautiful daughter, scout, in her adorable sweater dress that was just too much. ann kept eyeing it wondering if it came in adult sizes.
