Local Music: After Action Review


The last local band we saw on Saturday night was After Action Review, 
from the star city of course, and they rocked our socks off.


 
Mike on drums and vocals (side note, he was in the band back at my very first shows)

below is Steven  rocking the mic


 I have to say, of all the bands of the evening, they had the crowd going with the best energy, 
despite the bouncers trying at every turn to simmer down the action. 
From the start of the show they announced, "no dancing!" 
The room sounded with laughter and jeers, jokes about Footloose, and other fun filled rebellion. 

 



we have TC on guitar and vocals on the left
to the right is Robbo on bass


Four times during their set the bouncer came through the crowd 
to stop Amy, my little sister, who was "out of control." 
It's pretty funny, in a crowd of at least twenty people, 
the smallest girl is the one being harassed.



The show was absolutely epic, this is band you should definitely have on your radar. 
They might even be playing in the Warped Tour this summer! 
You can check them out here: After Action Review.


"With dedication and conviction we are making the music of a generation fed up with the world we live in."
-from the bands page. check them out. do it now.

I hope you enjoyed this look into a great local band in our star city!
We had a lot of fun.

Until next time,

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

Justin and Savannah's Wedding - The Reception

The ceremony was simple and sweet, and the reception was the perfect party. A band on the porch, delicious food and drinks, cake and dancing. It was an epic night for everyone involved.   Until next time, Angela Kelly

a new project

I stumbled upon a website last week about low impact woodland homes, essentially: hobbit houses. Dug into a hillside and covered with earth to create an efficient and beautiful house. They are made with roundwood framing, using oak trees left whole as the timbers. Straw bales are used for insulation in the walls and under the floor. They used a natural lime plaster on the walls, recycled materials for everything possible, thrifted doors and windows. All together this husband/father and his father in law built a house for under $4000 in about four months.  I have been blown away by the ideas and resources available on the subject. We have spent hours already discussing the outbuildings we will need in the future, such as barns, root cellars, storage sheds, animal shelters, and well we could definitely use a few cabins around. If we can utilize the materials around us in this way, it's possible for us to create an incredible farm, beautiful, efficient, and sustainable....
