Bouncing off Clouds 2

Thank God its Thursday. I've been waiting for this week to be over before it even began! Jenny and I have had a camping trip in the works for months, and the long awaited weekend away is here!

I have to say right off the bat, yes we are freaks... We are set to leave Seattle tomorrow morning at about 4am. Which means we'll be up around 3am. Which also means by the time we get home tonight, run errands, eat, watch our Netflix, and PACK the car, it's going to be about 11pm. Yippee for 4 hours of glorious sleep... in our own bed.

We've been house sitting for the last week in Queen Anne, and while it had it's advantages (ie being closer to work, within walking distance to bars, stores etc, and provided us with an excuse to booze it up with some QA locals) I was ready to go home to our comfortable apartment, that only consists of our 3 little tots, not 2 huge Weimeriner's with limited training. I could deal with the dogs, but the fact I've been sleeping on our air mattress for a week while Jenny slept in the single bed in the same room, kinda sucked. Tack on 3 more days of sleeping on that sucker, and I think I'm going to start to like it. (ya, right.)

The buzz from yesterday's excitement still hasn't full worn off. I've been listening to Tori Amos for years, and I really enjoy her music. It's so unlike everything you hear on the radio. I love that. To finally be able to see her live is going to be awesome. Jenny and I have had the best luck with concerts. And this is no different, the Gold VIP package consists of the following:

-reserved tickets in the first 20 rows of the venue
-Special viewing of a portion of Tori's sound check
-An exclusive Tori gift bag
-Crowd free merchandise shopping

I'm really excited for the Sound Check! We couldn't afford the Platinum package that includes a meet and greet (suck!) but this is pretty rad. Our seats are smack dab in the middle of the first 20 rows, in the center of the floor. We should have a good view. If you aren't familiar with Tori, you should be. And now, for your viewing pleasure go watch the video...
