slc punk, my own private idaho and the home of starbucks!

so slc ended up being fun. i got to catch up with a lot of peeps that i haven't seen for a long time.

aaron and i went up to park city and it was a blast! we got to do the alpine coaster. it's this thing where you get pulled up to the top of the mountain in a cart and then you go roaring down the mountain really fast. aaron made fun of me because i was screaming all the way down - it was so much fun! :) and park city is so adorable. attached are some pics:

i did also get to finally see interpol on monday in slc. the venue sucked and the sound wasn't absolutely fabu but it was a lot of fun, anyway. i was so excited to see my boyfriend that a bomb could have gone off in the building and i wouldn't have cared/noticed i'm sure.

i headed up to idaho on tuesday and suffered another fairly horrific/god awful boring drive to boise. there were so many mav's (mormon assault vehicles) on the road. they are generally driven by a mother or father who is spending 75% of their time yelling at 4-6 children in the back seat, not bothering to pay attention to the road. beyond annoying.

i finally got to boise and was able to catch up with old friends kristen and josh. later on i picked the lovely jessica up from the airport and we went for some fine dining at the mcdonalds that also doubled as a chevron. 5 star eats! one of the windows was busted and we figured someone got mad and threw their big mac back at an unruly drive thru attendant.

jessica and i got ready and then headed back in to town to see interpol again. it was such an amazing show! the sound was brilliant and the set was mixed up so it was so fabu! and jessica, being the friendly little friend maker that she is started chatting it up with the owner of the club and also the sound guy for the band. she is determined to have me meet the band and i have no issues with that ;)

after the show we stopped back by the car and met the coolest people in the parking garage. yes, i am being serious! i swear, i'm freaking 20 again. the other week i was playing drinking games til 2 in the morning and eating chicken tenders with sriacha sauce for every meal. i so love not having any responsibilities right now! that is, of course, other than being the best ever fabu interpol groupie!

anyway, the kids we met rocked and the guy was in a band and he gave us his cd. they referred us to a dive bar and unfortunately it was dead. as was the majority of boise (granted, it was a tuesday night). we stopped at a place called the red room and it was so cute. the music was beyond hilarious... "sipping gin and juice... laid back...", "jump around... jump around". we got bored and left and headed back to kristen's.

we got up early this morning and headed out to seattle. we got pulled over (i'll give you 1 guess as to what for) ;), then we got starbucks, narrowly escaped a barrage of flying suicidal onions fleeing from the back of a truck and stopped for wine tasting. we are sooooo looking forward to seeing our boyfriends (jessica decided daniel is her boyfriend) tomorrow night. plus, there's some serious shopping to be done. this is the home of nordies after all.

MWAH!
