Lacubrious@Brandts Cafe

It's Javi Time!

Just ordered!

Happy Graduation To Me! AT&T put one of these little wonders on order for me today. Wait time is 10 to 20 days <> but that's okay, it'll give me a chance to check out accessories! I played with one in the store before making my final decision. The interface is THE COOLEST!

Once again, another crappy photo from my current cell phone! Compare it to this photo taken with the demo iPhone at the store...

IT IS AWESOME! The blogging I will be able to do instantaneously will be phenomenal....I can't wait. But I must...sigh.

New vs. Old

I need to explain this post...at happy hour tonight we were discussing phones and a coworker whips out his old, trusty Nokia (shown on the right). It's like the oldest phone I have seen lately. The display is just the greenish lcd screen and only supports letters and numbers...no pics, no graphics, nada. Next to it we see my "old" (2 year) Razor phone....which sadly was called old by the AT&T people when I went to see about upgrading...doh!

Get me out of here!

The After, After Show @ Lumiere

I can't say too much about this event. I can't tell you who was there. This post actually doesn't even exist. All I know is that after the After Show Beer Tasting in Hermann, there was mexican food, a trip home to take care of the dogs, then a rapid trip into STL to Lumiere to catch a show at Aqua and a "Brand-I-never-heard-of-before-baby-grand-piano".....'nuf said.

Home by 3am....Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Oh and our wireless network is not working!!!! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermann - After Show @ Tin Mill Brewing Company

Mmmmmm....beer.

JM's set list saved from the show! Really, its more of a guideline than a set list....Oh Reaaaallly?!?!?

So at the Tin Mill Brewing Company we tried the Pilsner (meh), the Hefeweizen (good), and the Dopplebock (good). Not much in the way of food, but the beer was cold and Mr. Lacubrious got to use their garage door (at the back) to get inside...a la...the handicapped accessible entrance!

Taste for The Arts in Hermann, Missouri

Another great Javi show this time at the Taste for the Arts in Herman. Lacubrious Duo and the Jonez's were in attendance. We ran into Sherry at the show, she brought some of her relatives that couldn't make it to the private recording. When they heard Javi sing "Cordoba" I saw them look at each other and make motions like they had goosebumps form his performance....awesome!

But, where was TheBlueFrost??? Off buying a boat! He better watch it before he has to start his own group..."Javier Fans" instead of Javier TRUE Fans!

Footloose! @ ECC

We attended another ECC Theater event, Footloose! This time Holly was able to really shine and show off her singing and dancing abilities. She played Rusty in the show. Also, Ryan got in on that act as a spotlight operator with the crew. Awesome!

We waited too long to get our tickets and were stuck in the back of the theater. I won't make that mistake again. We really need to just sign up for The Patron of the Arts program.

The Wedding Singer

We enjoyed an evening out with a friend from work and her son, who was home from college. She had bought tickets to the performance of The Wedding Singer at The Fabulous Fox! These were special Fox Club seats, so there was table service and an assigned parking spot. Very nice!

We decided to grab some dinner along Grand Avenue and ended up at a Vietnamese place located down the street from Erato Wine Bar. The service was great and the meal was tasty. I had a tofu dish with onions and lemon grass.

After that we headed to the Fox and arrived in plenty of time to get to our seats. They were great, plush chairs with little tables for drinks and snacks. We ordered a couple of glasses of wine and settled in for the show. It was entertaining. There were some story line changes compared to the movie, but it was very enjoyable.

Flashback to the AVE in Spain...

I found this picture on my cell phone. It's from our vacation to Spain in June '06. We took the AVE (high speed train) from Madrid to Toledo and Sevilla and Cordoba. Although, I'm not sure which trip this one was. Most likely to Toledo as that was our first foray onto the train system!

Gourmet Salad @ Home!

I made this delicious salad with spring mix, mandarin oranges, grapes, dried cherries, goat cheese, carrots, walnuts, and raspberry cabernet dressing.

Los Cabos! Yum!

Salsa!

Dinner at Mom's

Saturday night we headed to Mom's for a pork chop dinner! Normally, I wouldn't blog about it, but I thought, well why not?

We have no photographic evidence, so here's an image I found online.

Although truthfully, we had baked potato, green beans, and a recreation of a salad from Dewey's pizza (spring mix, feta cheese, grapes, and walnuts with a Raspberry Vinagrette, thank you). All yummy and wonderfully prepared by Mom (except for the salad). Add a glass of Merlot and voila, dinner is served. Thanks Mom!
