It may not be public knowledge, but there are two things that have largely impacted our lives lately. One is the red panda at the Hogle Zoo. The other is Unknown Anthem, featuring Jameson Jackson on the drums.
First the zoo. We went to the zoo. For me, it was a first time experience. I have a feeling members of my family will disagree. For the record, squirrels squished flat on the road in Yellowstone don't count, Mother. I got to see tigers and snakes (safely behind glass that I wasn't even thinking of trying to make disappear a la Harry Potter). I even got to pet a large lizard. It pretty much rocked my world. The giraffes mostly slept standing up. The monkeys were sleepy as well. The large cats stalked small children behind their glass enclosures. I also got a snow cone AND icecream. My life took one small step for a spider monkey, but one giant leap toward life experiences.
Second, I missed Jameson's concert because I was working. But I did watch most of the Atari's concert. Anyway, to tell you more about that, here is Jameson:
The concert went great! We went on stage around 6:45 p.m and had a half hour set. We had a good turn out of 50 people or so and a lot of compliments after. It was good to play a show again since our last show was just over a year ago. Pictures of the show will be available shortly, I had one of my good friends Alex take photos.
So there you go. Animals on stage and in cages . . . get it?
Great author that I love: Kaye Gibbons

Good to hear about the concert, I want to see pics and... you have been to the zoo. Maybe you were 3 weeks old I can't remember, oh...what about San Diego? Elk, deer, buffalo, moose, bears!
ReplyDeleteI read Ellen Foster (Kaye Gibbons first book), much darker, a quick read and very insightful.
