The Bay Area: 5 Instagrams

I used to have 5 Instagrams for you all every weekend, but  for some reason my usage has dwindled a little bit! First off – wanted to let you all know that I am alive and kicking down here in the Bay. Every weekend, I am embarking on a new adventure with my friends Mandi, Eric, and Ryan and the funny thing is – I’m checking off something from my bucket list every time. I could have easily done all of these things while living in Seattle, but the fact that I am doing it here instead is much more exciting. I think it may have been because I was so comfortable in Seattle that when these events were happening, I didn’t have much of an interest to try something new. When I moved down here, my BFF Ashley advised me to just “say ‘yes’ to everything” and so far it has been the best advice I’ve gotten. It’s only been three weeks, but it feels like I’ve been here much longer. That must be a pretty good sign, right?

Mandi works for the Alzheimer’s Association so during my first weekend here I joined her for the walk up in San Francisco. The rain was unforgiving (even worse than in Seattle!) but I was proud of us for completing the three miles  in a downpour!

Quickies

The NBA Lockout is officially over.

I’m rooting for the UW Huskies in the Apple Cup today!

And then there’s this…

I’m really glad I didn’t go to this at midnight on Friday.

Happy Small Business Saturday!

Free UW HUB concert on the Lawn

I could’ve sworn I did this post this morning.

Built to Spill and Ra Ra Riot will be performing. The concert will run from 3-7 PM and it is absolutely free.

Built to Spill sounds like Death Cab and Ra Ra Riot reminds me of The Kooks.

If you’re not from UW and you don’t care for those bands you may not want to make the trip but if you’re already at UW you might as well!

The lineup isn’t as good as last years, (Blue Scholars, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, Minus The Bear) but I am awfully fond of my Seattle bands!

In comparison, I think Seattle University’s Quadstock with headliner Talib Kweli totally owns UW this year.
