Park + Movie - Rain = Awesome

"How Green Was My Valley" at Bryant Park.

We had 6 blankets full of people and enough Twizzlers to feed a small army.

Excellent.

Wizard on the B Train

So, I totally rode the subway with a guy dressed as a wizard this morning. And yes, I took a picture. I figured, if the guy wanted to ride the NYC subway dressed like Gandalf, then he wanted the attention, so I just pulled out my camera and took it. Photo to be posted later.

Do you commute with magical beings? I didn't think so.

Yes, I'm 14

Tragic Kingdom is the first album I ever bought. So when Roommate Sarah asked if I wanted to go with her to see No Doubt in concert at Jones Beach, I hesitated only for a second. Because hey, they were my favorite band when I was 14. But then again, they were my favorite band when I was 14.

So you see my dilemma.

We had to take a subway, a train and a bus to get to the amphitheatre.. but it was SO very cool that I didn't really mind.

Check this out, the stage is actually IN the water...

So Paramore opened the show, which added to my nostalgic adolescent trip. And the Gwen and the boys did their thing. It was fun. Of course I had forgotten how many great songs No Doubt has. They have been really quite successful over the years.

What I really fell in love with, though, was the venue.

Concert + Beach = Awesome
