K-Town

Aaron and I spent a long weekend in Kinsman, and had a great time. Aaron's parents threw a big wedding reception at their house for us, which was pretty awesome. It was a pretty packed house - about 80 people came and went throughout the day! Nora cooked up a storm, and it was completely delicious (as always). Most of my immediate family made it up from Cincinnati, and that was pretty cool, too. I got to see Dan and Dave for the first time since we left town in December, and Dad and Lou for the first time... in a week and a half! :-) Funny how that tends to work!

It's back to work this week. It was so nice having the long weekend, though, and it's a bit painful getting back into work mode...

Things have been pleasantly busy lately. We've been trying to keep up with the local music scene, but it's almost too much for us! We saw moe. and Umphrey's McGee a couple of weeks ago in Kansas City, and they were both pretty good. This past weekend, we went to Wakarusa in Lawrence, which was pretty awesome. Wakarusa is a big music/camping festival out at Clinton Lake; they bring in about 70 bands, and you camp for four days and try to see as many as you can. We saw the Flaming Lips, Railroad Earth, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, the Disco Buscuits, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and some more. They were all pretty damn good. I left off the ones who weren't...


Wakarusa came to a close on Sunday, the same day that Dad, Susan, and Louis got to Lawrence! It was so nice getting to see them. :-)
