Closer to Fine (6/29/08)
Slowly but surely, we're catching up to "real time"
Apparently I was deserving of some concert karma, because I managed to score a pair of free tickets to the Indigo Girls at Zoo Tunes at the Woodland Park Zoo!
I am a faithful listener of 103.7 The Mountain. I just happened to notice a small little window on their website announcing that they were giving away free tickets for one hour the Friday before the show. I quickly emailed my friend Chrissie, and her wonderful husband Mike offered to go stand in line and get tickets for us. Not only did he get the tickets, he even drove us there. What a fella! My husband has excellent taste in friends - there isn't one that I've met that I didn't like.
Chrissie made us an amazing picnic basket, we strolled right in and found a perfect spot in the back in the shade. It was 80+ degrees that day, so we were very fortunate. It was a great show, with some quality girl time. We even had fresh, ripe Washington strawberries with chocolate mousse! It was exactly what we needed, and definately made us feel "Closer to Fine!"
I forgot my camera (it's been a problem lately), so I'm borrowing this photo from Joe. Thanks, Joe. He has a good review of the actual content of the show there, too. If you were looking for a musical review, this post was not it - sorry.
Sidenote: This show made me feel very nostalgic... the last time I saw the Indigo Girls was on my 21st birthday. I was with a large group of friends, and we had amazing seats - I want to say fourth row? My dear sweet Gerry yelled out during a break in the music that it was my birthday, and Amy and Emily said happy birthday to me - How cool is that! Thanks Gerry! It still makes me smile.

Lots of love Marcia! I think we were in the second row, as there were only 3 rows on the floor there... small and intimate in Beasly. I remember it well... hard to believe it was nearly 10 years ago...
