Hello!
Here's another weekend wrapup. Friday we went to the Peacock Room to see some local bands. The Nova Rays played some great instrumental surf rock, followed by Knockdown Dragout with some fantastic rockabilly.

Then on Saturday, we went to Wekiva with mom & her friend Ben. To celebrate literacy month, the Florida state parks system had free admission if you show your library card or donate a book (we did both...what else was I gonna do with the copy of Faulkner's As I Lay Dying that I bought for Highschool?).
We hiked some trails, went to the nature center (right in time to see the gator feeding), and swam in the springs. We were going to canoe, but the weather was kinda iffy, so maybe another time. We also met a group from Guatemala who were very entertaining trying to build a pyramid in the springs. Here are some pics.








Thats all for now. Wednesday, Motorhead & Reverend Horton Heat at HOB.

Last night, hubby and I went to Lakeland to see the preview of Celebrations new. It was a great chance to visit with old friends, and see DOI's newest show.
Here are some pics:

JACK SKELLINGTON (I love Nightmare Before Christmas so I was so looking foward to seeing him)


The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Mickey) is tempted with an apple while classic villians look on.


Everyone gets in the Halloween spirit (yes, that is Donald and Pluto in the background)


Minnie meets her Fairy Godmother


Aladdin & Jasmine


Things get a little romantic for the Princes & Princesses (Mickey & Minnie too)


Great effect. Fire on the Ice.


Goofy does the Limbo while visiting Lilo & Stitch (& family) in Hawaii.


Disney's newest Princess (from the upcoming Frog Prince movie). Great New Orleans-style costumes for this segment.


Finale group shot. Very Christmasy.


Today, Tommorrow and Sunday is work, work, work. Rehearsals (for another DOI show) here in town. Saturday night we're also heading to House of Blues for Traverser's CD release party. SHould be a good show, I highly recommend it for anyone in O-Town. Come out and support local bands. Monday is Labor Day, so we will be heading down to Lake Eola for the AFL-CIO picnic (free food for Union members).

GTG. We are catchin up on the Netflix. Battlestar Galactica Series Finale, Tokyo Gore Police, and Dollhouse Season 1.

Pictures! These are from Disney Boardwalk. We took them over the weekend. And now while you look at pics, I am going to bake. We are going to see the preview of DOI's new show tomorrow. I am making Dessert bars. Bottom layer is brownie, top layer is chocolate chip cookie dough, the middle is cheesecake filling. I have to make them tonight due to the fact that they need to sit in the fridge over night for the filling to harden. Yummy!

Pictures!

Sad faces for Nni's scratched eye (and yes, my new haircolor is Special Effect's Cherry Bomb).


And here's Caesar, on HIS bed (that he just shares with the rest of us).

Hello all!

We've had a busy week. Here's the wrap-up.

Friday, we went to the Copper Rocket to see the Psycho Devilles show. The opening act, Big Jeff special, were pretty good. They were energetic and fun (though the lead singer, wearing just overalls, looked eerily like the kid who played the banjo in Deliverance). The Psycho Devilles rocked, though we wanted to buy a CD and their Merch table was abandoned the hole night.

Saturday, we went to the Enzian to see Repo! The Genetic Opera. We'd already seen the film, but this time was with a cast (Rocky Horror-style). It was the casts first time performing in public, and they did a great job. That movie is the perfect mix of horror and musical to get the audiance-participation treatment. The pre-show was too long, but otherwise it was a good entertainment. Plus, mango mojitos and rasberry beingets at the Enzian are always a treat.

Sunday, we had to work. But it was for the load-in of Disney on Ice rehearsals, so it was nice to see old friends. It was wierd working it as a local and not roadcrew. Hopefully, we'll get another chance to see our roadie friends before they leave O-Town for their tour.

Monday, was a sad day. Nani woke up with her right eye all squinty. We ended up spending the afternoon at the vet. SHe has a scratch on her eye. We are not sure how it got their (probably playing with Caesar). Now we have two different ointments we have to put in her eye twice a day. Luckily though, she doesn't have to wear a cone.

Tuesday, we went back to the Enzian. This time for the 40th Anniversary of Easy Rider. Great film, great food (Double-fried purple Okinawa sweet potatoes), and we even ran into some friends (Hi Rachel and Wysh!).

Tonight we are heading on over to the Audobon Park Community Market. Buy some local veggies and eggs, and hear some music.

Hope everyone is doing well! Keep Nani in your prayers/thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Picture time! Here's hubby welding.


We walked around Park Ave the other day. Enjoyed the lovely weather and met lots of cute doggies. Hubby took pics.

Picture Time! We went to Big Tree Park, to see the USA's biggest cypress.
