exciting events at the palms sunday

so, yesterday OJ simpson got arrested at the palms.

what also happened at the palms yesterday was a really fun concert! it was a beautiful night and the flaming lips played outside at the palms pool. kinda for free. probably the coolest venue i have seen a show at the base of the palms towers. some people sat in the wading pools in chairs - we just stood in the sand.

it was an energy-filled, politically-infused show as most of them are. i had never had an opportunity to see the flaming lips before, so it was great. i remember my roomate angie coming home from a show in college once and there was confetti in our house for weeks. that wayne. he likes to entertain. he also likes to talk to fans. a very very kind gentleman. he even took a photo of me and zach.

believe it or not this was not the only musical adventure of the weekend.

friday night we saw matt & kim at a place called jillians on freemont street. apparently i had a skinny sharpie pen in my purse which the doorman found and confiscated. it was an all ages show. enough said. other than all the kids it was a pretty fun show.

saturday night was modest mouse at the joint at the hard rock. pretty good show, although i was really distracted by this transvestite in front of me. she kept shaking her head in the dramatic way a woman would do in a hair commercial and her long blonde locks would sweep across my face. she also had this way of dancing in which her elbow managed to keep coming uncomfortably close to injuring me. her legs were tattooed as if ribbon was criss-crossing up the whole way and her skin tight mini dress was barely staying on. upon leaving the show we proceeded to sit in such a log jam in the parking garage that we left our vehicles, went inside, ate dinner at pink taco and then went back to the garage. silliness.

but the biggest event of the weekend was handmaking my very last wedding invitation. no more! no more!!!
