The weekend was full of fun. It started out Friday evening with a date to the Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband concert. I would recommend looking them up and checking out their music. One of my favorite songs of theirs is Dream Big. What you are looking at in this picture is good fortune. The bottom tickets are the ones that I bought. Notice the seats are in the bleachers. We were sitting all the way in the back when a lady who was working the ticket office asked us if we were satisfied with our seats with a small wink. When we replied in the negative, she gave us the tickets you see at the top. Notice they are front row tickets. We were within 20 feet of the Rubberband at all times. It was quite a trip. When it comes to movie theaters, I'm not one for the front row. Concerts, on the other hand, I don't mind in the least. Anyway, they are an extremely entertaining band to watch; with the way they jump around and play with each other. They also have a great sense of clean humor, which makes them that much better. It is well worth it to go and see them in concert. The only downside of the concert was that we were sitting next to the cameramen who were operating a camera on a big boom. Every now and then they would encroach on my space, but they weren't really any trouble.
The next day started at 6:00am with the promise of a trip to Yellowstone. That promise held true and by 7:30am I, along with 6 friends, had embarked on the 2-hour trip to the national park. I didn't take my camera because my roommate (Ronnie Cooper), who has a much better camera than I, took his and was deemed trip photographer. He's posted quite a few on Facebook, so you can see our adventures there. All in all it was a lot of fun, beautiful scenery, and good company. We even made it back in time for the girls who were with us to make it to the Relief Society Broadcast.
Sunday began for me at 7:30am due to my new calling as Ward Executive Secretary (refer to my last post). I was at church from 8:30am until about 5:45pm, at which point I headed over to a Stake Auxiliary Training Meeting that went from 6:00-7:00pm. After that I made my way to take care of some ward business at a few other apartments. I returned to my apartment at roughly 7:45 for a about 5 minutes before heading across the complex to a pizza dinner I promised to attend. That was welcomed indeed. The pizza was amazing and I hardly had to lift a finger. By the end of the day I was beat. Yes-sir, I was ready for bedtime when it finally came around.
That's cool that you went to Yellowstone - I always meant to get up there but never did! Ryan Shupe came up and played at a scout camp that I attended (as a leader) a couple years back. He didn't bring the whole band, just him and one other guy. I remember it being entertaining - did he play the corn dog song?
ReplyDeleteHe sure did! I almost bought a corndog shirt afterward...
