Birthdays

I'm not a huge fan of birthdays. Well, actually, I'm just not a fan of celebrating my birthday. I don't mind helping others celebrate their own. But I do love birthday cake. Thanks to my family for supplying the dinner and cake!It wasn't called "Sara's Birthday Dinner" but that's probably because everyone knew I wouldn't show up! Sarah was in town so we made reservations for Asia de Cuba at the Mondrian. The decor was interesting, especially the giant rooster painted on the white walls. Everything was white, table, chairs, and all the sculptures. Congo music played loudly throughout the restaurant and bar. I expected Chiquita Banana to come out and dance for us. The food was not so amazing that it merited the large bill we received. It was decent but I don't think I will be going back.

Maroon 5/Counting Crows

Lindsey, Shannon, Amanda, and I hit the Counting Crows/Maroon 5 concert at the beginning of September. I love the Counting Crows and really enjoy their quirky lyrics. Sadly, their portion of the show was not nearly as entertaining as previous concerts I've seen. I was disappointed when it was all over. And amazingly Maroon 5 was good. They put on a good show. We also discovered sitting in family section of the lawn provided us really good seats without the rowdy crowd.
