So Wednesday afternoon I went back to the M dot and went with my mom to the mall.. I'm going to show you some of what I bought in a moment because some of it is just TOO CUTE! I'm not big on shopping these days but I needed new bras, the damn underwire keeps coming through the material on my old ones grr! And while I'm not much for cutsie stuff.. if it's unusual AND cute.. I'm so in.
Anyways I drove over to Laura's house and we chilled for a bit then headed off to Angus Glen Golf Club. So, WOW this was a fancy event.. something like $100 per seat. Each table was in charge of coming up with a theme and decorating their table appropriately.. there were some REALLY cool ones. Apparently it wasn't a dinner event, it was a dessert event.. meaning a large table full of elaborate gorgeous sumptuous caaakkkeeess... oh man what a cake tease! (teehee). Anywho, we played on this little stage, which was a bit intimidating.. the room was HUGE.. so the acoustics were like playing into a brick wall. And we definately felt like no one could hear us or was listening anyway.. which actually is very liberating because it felt very casual.. you know, Laura's music blows off the stand so we just stop in the middle of the piece and so on haha. We had to play our duet repetoire like 4 times through to take up time but it all sounds so similar that no one would have noticed. And we did a lot of solo stuff.. really random stuff lol like Laura did some random Mary Poppin's and Beatles and I did some random Lord of the Rings (w00t!) and it was cool. (One of the random volunteers came up to me after and was like "I loved that Lord of the Rings bit!!" YEAH!) At the end, a lot of people came up to tell us what a great job we did, which was very nice of them.. and a couple of people asked us to come and give private performances for their tables.. which we did! And THAT rocked.. because.. well we play better under direct attention obviously, and they actually got to hear us!
And.. when everyone was done.. THEY LET US AT THE LEFTOVER CAKE! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
OK, I'm starting with the pics from Wednesday afternoon then going to Wednesday night then backwards to Casa Loma.
Is this not the SEXIST thing you've ever seen? Come on, PENGUINS!! Ok well.. maybe boys wouldn't think so, but -I- think so!!
This one just amused me.. a cat with ice skates! HAHA!
This is slightly unrelated, by my dad apparently went to the Cosmo Music Halloween sale.. and got a REALLY sweet music stand for $10.. and now it's mine and he gets my old crappy one! (He plays kit in an Austrian band). IT EVEN HAS ITS OWN CARRYING CASE!!!
Here is Laura doing a Laura face a la Cancer Society event.

So Casa Loma has really creepy mechanical elves.. they used them for a Halloween display.. which made them even creepier!
I love creepy stuff. This mirror is creepy.

if you ever need to get another bra let me know and we'll find time! i really need a new one and we can spend hours in la senza wanting to kill things cause nothing fits properly. awesome!
Jesse obviously needs to be a faerie princess for halloween next year.
I love how you guys like doing silly poses. Whenever I go out and want to do something silly I get funny looks. Thinking of Jesse as a rearing stallion made me giggle. That's an adorable pic of Anton.
Yay!
