Lake Lilian Gig

The band played up at a winery in Lake Lilian last Saturday. A really neat place...an old middle school converted into a winery with the gym turned into a dinner hall. The band did a really good job with all their songs...the crowd was pretty slim unfortunately. But they had a fun time, so that's what mattered most!


Lake Lilian was about 2 1/2 hours from home for us, so Brandon and i decided we would spend the night in Hutchinson. We were going to meet some friends for the concert and then spend the night and de-daddle around the town the next morning, but they weren't able to meet us. Then we were going to just drive home like most of the other band members. But, Brandon and i decided we needed to take a day just for ourselves. Away from home, away from Blue Earth...just away! So we spent the night in Hutch and slept in (hence the photo below!) and cruised over to the Cities the next morning and went to IKEA. It was a fun day. We were exhausted...Brandon had a bad cold and pretty much used up what little bit of his voice he had left singing...and i had been out 'till 2 in the morning the night before and up very late the night of the gig. We were able to sleep in until close to 10a, so that was a little helpful...poor Brandon didn't sleep too well...as for me, i can sleep through pretty anything!

Even though we were exhausted...we still had a fun day toodling around! And it felt *great* to have a day where it was only Brandon and i!

Just to clarify...this self-portrait was taken before i had any make-up on!!
