so last two weekends/weeks were great... check out my pictures to get a glimpse into what's been going on. i am truly inspired by my blessed brother josh to take and post lots of pictures. and dropshots is great, too. God is SO good. He has given me such opportunities to travel and experience things...

i celebrated my dad's bday with an all-day trek to santa barbara, solvang, camarillo then sushi @ go's, dessert @ roy's and a romp around 3rd street! what a great day it was...

the hanks played a marvelous set at the knitting factory on the 27th. it was pouring rain that night, but there was a great crowd there. big japan, adam brody's band (he's seth on the oc) played as well... ingrid got a flat tire on the way to the show, but thank the Lord kenny was around to help! he saved the day, er night?

i went to the american choral directors association's western division conference in salt lake city this past wed-sat. it was in salt lake city, utah. what an amazing time i had there. people are so much nicer when you leave the big, crowded city. we had amazing choirs to listen to, great interest sessions and it was just nice to get away from la. i got to explore the city a bit on my own and ventured into lds and utes territory... ah, how i love exploring on my own!

it's funny how i felt completely inspired yet completely incompetent at acda... but it's the kick i needed to get me through the rest of this yr. and, as an added bonus, i got to see chris rhodes (ex-samohi choir), cecile blanchard (jams) and heather gold (manhattan beach ms). yay for getting to know more and more people in the profession!!

it was a great "retreat," but now i'm ready to get back to the grind! =)

...wah, nobody comments on my blogs =(
