The Crazy Cardinal and the Unbelievable Utes

Last Saturday was a CRAZY day. 

It was a completely football-filled, fun day. 

First, we kicked things off with a little tailgating action over at Stanford. (Thanks, Bo!) The ribs and the cornbread were delicious. Really, the food was to die for. 

We especially loved the football helmet centerpieces, that we of course HAD to try on. 

{lookin' good}

{down, set, hike!}

On our way over to the tailgate we ran into the band. Literally.

{They were just playing/skipping/marching around the entire crowd, NBD}

And, I ran into the mascot. I'm a huge fan (as you can tell by the shirt)

{I need to work on getting a better picture. I chickened out and had Jonathan take it when the tree stopped to hug the little girl. Embarrassed...}

Our tailgating efforts paid off, we scored free tickets! (Thanks Aaron!)
Boo-yah. Lower level, GA seats. Don't mind if I do!

{Go Cardinal!}

Unfortunately, we had to leave at halftime to go host a BYU-Utah game watch party for the BAUU chapter. We didn't feel so bad then, since the game had kinda been a drag, but the second-half of this game turned out to be crazy.

And then of course, as we all know, the Utes beat BYU. In an unbelievable fashion. Say what you will, but at the end of the day we won. Three times.

Sucks to suck.

One Way or Another...

I love the 80's.

I am an 80's girl through and through. I blame my parents. I take much pride in the fact that I was born in the 80's (1989, but I still claim it). It was such a great generation. Everything was over the top and so out there. I especially love 80's music, and can sing along with all the top hits, word-for-word. Last week, we were given free tickets to the Blondie and Devo concert at Mountain Winery. 

Awesome. 

Jonathan is a total music buff and LOVES going to concerts. I'm still warming up to the whole concert thing. Don't get me wrong I love music, especially anything with a good beat. But....  I just have a hard time enjoying concerts, especially when I'm not familiar with the music.

But..... We were long overdue for a concert date-night and since the tickets were free and it was an artist that I actually knew, I figured we'd give it a try. 

So glad that we did.

It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Blondie is well into her 60's and she's still got it. She might have been a little sloshed to pull it off, but hey. She put on quite the show. I might have even found my Halloween outfit for this year. 

{Not the best quality, but you get the idea}

My biggest surprise of the night: DEVO. Blondie actually opened for Devo. We all thought this was odd, because Blondie seems to be more well-known. Devo was AWESOME. It was like stepping back into an 80's music video. It was so terribly awesome. Jonathan and I couldn't stop laughing. 

Jonathan's biggest surprise of the night: Mandie knowing every single word to One Way or Another, Whip It, Secret Agent Man, Heart of Glass, Satisfaction and many other songs. 

ROCK ON.
