"I'VE GOT A DATE WITH THE NIGHTTTTT" :: Yeah Yeah Yeahs @ King's Theater, Brooklyn NYC

On November 7th, I fulfilled a lifelong dream of seeing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in concert.

I have loved them since I was in middle school

I almost went to see them at a free concert in Central Park when I was a Junior in HS,

 but I knew my parents would freak out if they knew I skipped school & went to NYC...

I have regretted being a good kid since...

When I found out they were playing a show to celebrate the Re-Issue of Fever to Tell, 

I almost fainted. This is the best album. I have listened to it on repeat for YEARS.

I knew I HAD to go! 

Tickets went on sale at 10 am & I set a ton of alarms, 

but I also had a damn dentist appointment...

I ended up missing out on tickets because they sold out immediately, 

and I was attempting to order while driving, {dangerous, I know.}

and I cried my eyes out on the way to the dentist. 

My sister Audrey knew how excited I was to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs,

and asked me if I got tickets and I said that I didn't and was upset that I missed out again.

& I got this message:  

OMG.

MY SISTERS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!

THANK YOU AUDREY!!!! 

😘😘😘😘

Yeah! New York ,

I got to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!!!

I was so exited that I got to celebrate this show with my hubby too! 

We made a whole night out of it and stopped by Other Half in Brooklyn,

we have wanted to go to this brewery for years now! 

So many good beers on tap! 

& we tried a lot of them

My favorites were: "Cream Get The Honey" & "DDH Mylar Bags",

but I loved all the ones we tried

I also loved this mirror collage in the bathroom:

Time for the show at Kings Theater in Brooklyn! 

This theater was INCREDIBLE, 

seriously. 

Check out this photo shared by gurjbassi on Instagram::

Kings Theater is the most intricate theater I have ever been in,

it was breathtaking:

This whole experience was incredible, 

they even had an album cut out to take pictures: 

What I Wore: glasses- Bonlook x A Beautiful Mess, lips- LipSense "Blu-Red" c/o Color Her Classy, necklace- Modern Hex, top- Forever 21, jacket- Express {gift from hubby}, pants- Target, booties- Forever 21

I loved the makeup look that I paired with this outfit:

OMG IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW!!! 

I was also happy that we got to watch the "There is no Modern Romance" 

documentary before the show! 

It was incredible to see how far they've come and how it all started in NYC, 

I loved it!  

I danced the night away, 

and admittedly cried from happiness...

it was amazing 

We were pretty high up but I am so happy I got to see this live, 

I wanted to share a bunch of amazing photos from the show:

Karen O ended the show {after 2 encores} by smashing the mic:

I would have died if they played "Art Star", 

the only one that they didn't play that I wanted to hear.

So I had blast it at the Vault the next day...

Added all my favorite songs to my 2017 Spotify Playlist:

STILL SHOCKED.
This was an amazing experience!

Thanks again to my sister Audrey for getting me tickets,
you're the best ever.

Summer 2015 Bucket List

I don't usually do seasonal bucket lists, 

I do have a Travel Bucket List in my "About Me" page,

but since this is a huge transition summer for me {more on that later}

I decided to do one this summer,

The biggest component to this bucket list is the "Beer Bucket List"
We are going to hit every craft brewery in NJ this summer!

Our adventures have crossed some off:

- River Horse Brewing Company
- Spellbound Brewing
-Triumph Brewing Company

We are going to:
- Angry Erik Brewing Company

The Garden State Craft Brewers Guild has a nice clickable list of these NJ breweries + maps!

We are also taking a "family vacation" to DogFish Head in Milton, DE!

We are also going to take a 5 hr ride to Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery in Virginia,
to taste their unique brews!
 

One brewery that is not even on the "planning" list is the Beach Haus Brewery in Belmar, NJ
We visited this weekend:

Beers were pretty good, although expensive for a flight
the place is large and nicely done considering this was a huge bakery when we were kids.

The next aspect of my Summer Bucket List is to read the books on my night stand,
 that have been mounting for over a year now...

I recently finished "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg
& "Odd Girl Out" by Rachel Simmons

These two books offer interesting insights to the behavior of girls/woman
in school, personal life, friendships, and careers.
I think that "Odd Girl Out" is the childhood explanation to the necessary messages that Sheryl discusses in "Lean In".
I think every woman should read "Lean In" and continue to be encouraged to look out for woman and   build each other up and not break each other down since we already have so many things going against us in the current society.

To be read:
- "A Tale of Two Besties" by Sophia Rossi
- "Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell
- "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser
- "Divergent" by Veronica Roth
- "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski
{I started "House of Leaves" last year in Saint Thomas,
 but it was too complicated of a read for the beach}-- need to start over

The first one that I am going to read is "A Tale of Two Besties" by Sophia Rossi,
We got an advanced readers copy at TxSc in March and I have been trying to read it ever since

I also want to:
- Learn photoshop in time for my year recap to do better collages on the blog
- hit the gym {written in pencil because I have commitment problems... but I need to get in shape}
- Go to the Brooklyn Flea market + Brooklyn Brewery!
- Take a glass blowing class with my sisters

See my progress on my About Me page!

So much to do!
Summer officially starts today!
& Happy Fathers Day <3
