In 2010 I ... was utterly shocked and amazed

Remember this post? The very first post on this blog? As a refresher, it was the one about NYE and resolving to keep track of the year, blah, blah, blah. There is a critical bit I'd like to requote:

"Jason, Cooper and Dave provided immense amounts of entertainment. Also, I would post some of the 100+ photos Dave took, but after swallowing his memory card, it seems unlikely those will surface. (Believe me, if they do, they will be deserving of a dedicated post for numerous reasons.)"

THE PHOTOS HAVE RESURFACED. Literally. Just yesterday, as casually as any other Facebook photo update might go, I was tagged in these:

This photo has been posted solely because of the amazing journey it went on. If not for that, I would have buried it so no one would ever learn that Jason has the ability to put people in such unflattering, snort-worthy situations.

Classy Christmas decor @ the CC

As mentioned, these photos were on a memory card. Dave swallowed said memory card New Year's Day. Three days later, the memory card was endoscopically removed. It was then placed in Dave's freezer (allotted dry out/cool down time unknown) and then, BAM! They just appear in April on Facebook.

Are you shocked? Amazed? I am, and probably will be for a very long time.

In 2010 I ... journeyed to Rochester for the Indigo Girls

On a Tuesday. Seriously. That's a lot of love. But my sister and I have loved the Indigo Girls for a very, very long time.

Drinks were a mere $3. Amazing! Seriously, southern MN has it figured out.

We had great seats, on the middle aisle somewhere around the 5th row. Which were honestly better than our "front row" seats several years ago at the State. (Although those tickets were free, so maybe Rochester and Mpls are even here.)

Amy and Emily. Kind of like Amanda and Emily, no?

So the girls have a new album out, hence the tour to the epicenter of music and culture, but I couldn't really care less about that. A and I just wanted to hear our songs. Granted there are probably 15+ of those, but they did a decent job of ticking off our list. Missing, however, were some of my absolute faves like Devotion and Leaving. (In linking these I just discovered they are from 1992. '92! I was 9.)

We had a great time - especially during the sing-alongs - and basically all of Rochester being in attendance made for a very engaged crowd, too. After a bleary-eyed drive home, though, I'm not sure we'll be making another mid-week road trip anytime soon.
