The Black Angels

Alli and I missed out on a Kills show but then made up for it by hitting up the Black Angels' show at the Wonder Ballroom. So loud. So hip. I think I asked Peter Holmström (guitarist for The Dandy Warhols) if  he could show me where the Black Angels merch table was located. I guess he played a set earlier that night with his new project, Pete International Airport. Now I need to stop slacking and write the review! 

to nest.

We made it to Portland and found an apartment! First thing is first. Eat. We picked up some pots and pans {courtesy of Ben's Ma and Pa.} Now we're in full-on nest mode. Today, we'll hit the Portland streets {well shops} to find some hip furniture. A large vintage mirror is for sure on the top of the list.

We made it! This last picture is the view from our hotel room at The Mark Spencer Hotel. We're loving Portland already. Today we are apartment hunting. We'll keep you posted. 

Portland, here we come!

We hit the road tomorrow morning at 5!

Tuck Shop

Since we were in Phoenix, we stopped at the Tuck Shop for Vovo's special (penne pasta with seasonal veggies, spinach, tomatoes and shrimp in a white wine butter sauce. I know, right?) What can I say, John knows his business and he for sure knows how to make a gin and tonic. I can venture a guess that most of the success to his version of this highball cocktail is a result of using the best of ingredients. I am especially referring to his hand crafted tonic water, John's Premium Tonic Syrup. We continued our meal with a few shrimp po' boys and finished with an apple bar and tea. I will say we were feeling a bit nostalgic for the savory cupcakes that were once on the menu, but we understand that sometimes good things must come to an end (making way for other good things of course.)
