Thursday night Jason and I went to the Of Montreal concert at Numbers. We've watched them three times now, and I can't say that this was my favorite show. I haven't been that impressed with the latest albums, and since I've seen them before, the shock from the stage performance has worn off. (For those of you lost, Of Montreal is an indie band whose shows are very much performance art where there are multiple actors on stage at a time.) However, the opening act, Janelle Monae, was incredible. That girl put on an awesome performance and I wouldn't doubt if she has her own tour soon enough.

Of MontrealSaturday morning I drove up to Dallas to see a bunch of my friends from my CMTP class. They were in town for a conference for work, and it was really great catching up with them. In all, about 1/4 of our class was in town. We met up for brunch at La Duni and then had dinner at Mattito's. Both were great!
It was amazing to catch up on what all has happened since we left San Francisco just 8 months ago. We've had engagements, marriages, babies, house buying, etc. And even though we are spread across the country and are working in all sorts of different groups within our Company, we are all basically at the same point in our careers and can relate to so much of what each other deal with on a daily basis. It's really nice to have that support network.

CMTP Gals I also got to catch up with Trey & Mel on my Dallas trip. I spent a relaxing afternoon with them on Saturday (Aggies won! Whoop!) and met up for breakfast at Bread Winners on Sunday.
And my weekend adventure isn't done yet...
Sunday was our friend Sal's 30th birthday. He had a Pedal Party on Sunday afternoon to celebrate. Having to physically power your way up Washingon Ave. proved to be a ton of fun. Well, I say this as if I actually contributed to our team.... my legs were actually too short to pedal, but I provided moral support!

Jason & ISunday evening I settled into bed with a book that Trey and Melanie let me borrow. I actually stayed up reading until I finished the book. Now I'm 80% done with the second of the trilogy. Series are dangerous for me... I tend to get wrapped up in them. Anyhoo... I would recommend The Hunger Games for anyone looking for a good adventure book with a dystopian flair. (Think Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, etc.)
