Wow, 2010 has been good to me so far. I’ve been kept busy with so many exciting things! Seeing Nate Ruess’ new band, Fun. was absolutely amazing. Haley and I waited in line outside for a half hour to get inside. We naively assumed the venue wouldn’t be packed and we couldn’t have been more wrong. Tons of people. Tons o fans of the Format and now of Fun. It felt more like a sing-a-long rather than listening to someone perform. The crap drive to Ann Arbor, the wait in the blizzard conditions and the sweatiness I experienced was all worth experiencing Nate Ruess’ passion again.

My Friday work day was also fun. About four times I year I coordinate something called a Tech Tour where we take college IT students around on a bus to different IT companies with super cool, laid back cultures and then take the students to tour a cool housing option in the Lansing area. I pretty much experience the Tech Tour just as a student would except that I’m freaking out about timing and schedules–we have a tight time schedule to adhere to! I went to my first MSU hockey game too and was in good company.

I bought these shoes last week and I think they will make their debut to the Lansing crowd tonight at the Addy Awards Gala. I need some pop of color in my outfits and these pair of boots spice up my simple black dress.

The jumping bassist is from Grand Rapids and met his roomies that came to support him. They dressed in plaid and were awesome.

    Those little booties are SO SAUCY. So so so so so so saucy! I absolutely adore Margot! I get a little salty sometimes when I hear them because I used to listen to them with my ex all the time…but hell, I'm not going to let that spoil the experience for me. I saw them at the Pike Room two years ago and the lead singer was sloshed and rude and the keyboardist seemed miserable to be alive, but I still love them. I am done for good with my job on Tuesday, so my schedule is wide open! I definitely want to go, it'd be so fun, what a way to celebrate the end of two years of a horrible job!

    Oh, PS: Have you ever heard of Kaiser Cartel? They played with Margot last time I saw them, if you like Margot you will probably love them too ๐Ÿ™‚

    Fabulous outfit! I have the same dress(shouldn't everyone?!) but have never moved beyond the neutral palette. Those shoes, though…so amazing! I could certainly make an exception if I were lucky enough to have them myself.

    Whenever I see that color blue, "electric avenue" comes into my head! it is like my brain sees the color and says "Dang! I'm ready to party"

    Plus I'm just in love with those zipper wedges.
