Someday We'll Find It... 

Yesterday (Friday) I was pretty sore in my calfs from doing the capoeira the day before. That is not surprising. I swung by MSMII for lunch and picked up the sammitch that Carrie had called in, then took it to the Bead Factory and we had lunch together at her desk.

After work Carrie went and did some more shopping for Heather's shower. After she came home we picked up Melissa and jumped on the freeway to see Lawrence perform live at the Starbucks in Parkland! It was his first time performing since being chased outta N'Orleans by Katrina, so it was very exciting. Besides Carrie, Melissa, and me, there was another Starbucks guy (who Gina likes or something; I'm not sure what's going on there), and Heather & Chris showed up.

We got there very early and grabbed our drinks. Then, surprisingly, Carrie got a phone call from Mary in Guam. She was very surprised, and ended up going outside to talk to her until almost showtime.

Geoff emailed me a photo of the traffic jam he was stuck in, which is why he was almost a half-hour late to the show. I'd show it to you, but I'm not sure exactly if I can get it outta my phone. Hold on a couple of minutes... Oh! I figgered it out. Here it is:


Lawrence did a one-hour set that included several originals and a handful of covers. He ended with a song from The Muppet Movie ("Rainbow Connection," which has perhaps some of the greatest lyrics EVAR written), a song from Sesame Street ("I Don't Want to Live on the Moon"), and then a Bob Marley song (I don't know what it's called).

Lawrence is a very good singer. He sounds at times like a cross between Ben Harper and Seal. Not a bad thing. Him singing "Rainbow Connection" really made me want to buy The Muppet Movie.

Afterwards Geoff & Melissa both came back to the house. We put on Veronica Mars Season 2 Disc 1. Melissa helped Carrie chop and mix and get the food ready for Heather's shower, while Geoff & I mostly watched movie trailers and some Beijing Wushu Team videos on YouTube, like this one:


(Turn the volume off if you wanna watch it)

At one point Carrie had the two of us run to Fred Meyer to buy some food containers.

Geoff and Melissa eventually ended up leaving by around 11:00, but then Carrie & I stayed up until well into Conan while she made more pieces of jewelry for to be given out as prizes at the shower. This shower is a lot of work! We're still working on it today (Saturday), but thankfully the shower is actually today, in about two hours & twenty minutes from now as I'm typing this.
