Tour Dates

So DMB announced their official summer 2012 tour dates!!  I have no idea which show('s) I'll be attending, but just seeing the announcement gave me goosepumps!  It will make for an already very busy and jam packed summer!  Woop!  Here's to happy days...


Also, there's some very, VERY exciting news about my friend Tim, he now works out in the pool 3 days a week and is a moving machine!!  Still, inspiring me every single day! 

This was just a short update on how happy I am about DMB tour dates!  Oh, and Steve and I also signed up for our first duathlon in April and an Olympic distance tri in September!

Jibber Jabber

I got my new bike this week, she's so pretty!  Cervelo P3 frame with some components I cannot pronounce, but the first ride went fantastic!  It's already way more comfortable than the Fugi.  Since it's a lovely white frame, I'll have to be sure to keep up on washing it more regularly, I'm stocking up on Simple Green as I type this.

Let's see, the super bowl happened, I'd rather not talk about it.  Such a disappointment.  I still think Eli Manning is one ugly dude though.  However, this little guy, Sam is adorable, he rooted for the Pats all weekend.


I made some amazingly delicious chicken in a spicy peanut butter sauce, the sauce is from Cait Snow's Peanut Butter Kale recipe.  It's seriously amazing, to make it spicy I added a little more chili powder, red fresno peppers and of course, some CRP -- crushed red pepper, delic!  This is probably one of our favorite meals right now, in fact, I think I will make it tonight!


It's also February, which means... we are one month closer to the best month... APRIL!  My birth month, duh!  We are also closer to Spring!  Although, we've been pretty lucky this year this winter, after last winter, it's ok to have a lack of cold and snow.  I've been able to run in shorts on some days, which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.  Still no snow day at work!  I'm hopeful we will have at least one though, because it's nice to sleep in and lounge around once in a while, don't ya think?

Now for the important news, Dave Matthews Band will be announcing their tour dates soon and since I'm in the know, from other people who know of some more people, who have counsins and brothers, of which have some serious connections (doesn't that sound completely absurd? I kid, of course) anyhoot, I had a sneak peak at the dates!  I'm hoping for something in August with a destination I'd like to attend, let's say Red Rocks?  C'monnn!  Hartford is the weekend before Quassy, so I'll have to toss and turn and stay up all night for endless nights thinking about what to do for that weekend.  Hmmm.   I must do a show this summer since last summer was a bust, so I will obviously figure something out.  It's DMB for crying out loud!  Oh, and Madonna announced her tour this week, she apparently has some outrageous ticket prices, I'm pretty sure that if you want to see a great concert, with great music and great people and not have to cut off your arm to do it, DMB is the place to be.  (Droppin' rhymes, yo).  Annnd, their making a new album!!  Cannot wait to hear it!  NEW ALBUM, I thought that deserved a double announcement.  That's all for now, catch ya on the flip side.

Music

Music is something I thoroughly enjoy.  My favorite band is DMB.  This past summer I was not able to see them live, but that's ok, it's nice to take a break once in a while.  It was the first summer since 1997 that I have not seen them live, whooaaa!  Through the years I have met some incredibly stellar people, who I can say are my friends.  I'm also known for ridiculously awesome jello shots, I have a secret that only a few know.  I've made them at other times, for bbq's and some camping along the Saco, but they are most popular at DMB tailgaiting, particularly Hartford.  Ahhhh, what good times I have had there.  I could probably go on for days about all the experiences I've had, front row in Vegas, we were there for less than 48 hours, but boy did we pay for it a week and a half later...

Anyways, I wanted to share a song that I truly love and I'm so happy it's finally getting some radio time.  Matt Nathanson, a good ole New England boy.  Enjoy!
