Dent May - Live in San Francisco!

January 24, 2014
San Francisco, CA

Last night we went to check out the self-proclaimed "unpopular" indie pop singer Dent May (whom Caroline discovered by accident on a trip to H&M some months back) and his band at Slim's in San Francisco.  It was a good show, especially owing to the intimate venue that Slim's provides, and it was fun to see Dent up close, even if we were in the running for being the oldest fans in attendance.  Caroline's only regret is not asking for a photo with the singer when she had the chance, spotting him as she did wandering the bar area before he took the stage.  

As an unexpected bonus, Chris Cohen opened for Dent May, putting on a good show, and we enjoyed seeing a previously-unknown-to-us artist.

The MSU Spartans Go to the Rose Bowl...and So Do We!

December 28, 2013 - January 2, 2014
Los Angeles, Hollywood & Pasadena, CA

We returned home from our Scott-has-a-couple-days-off-from-work-so-where-do-you-want-to-go? road trip to Oregon on Christmas Day, feeling exhausted, but fulfilled.  After a mere two days at home simply preparing to depart on the next leg of our journey (we were only home because Scott had to return to work), we hit the road again on the Saturday before New Year's, heading southbound this time.  We always said that if (when, I mean when!) the Michigan State University (Scott's alma mater) Spartans were going to the Rose Bowl, then we'd be going too!  And then they went and did it!
