The Dodos were one of the opening acts for the New Pornographers. Never heard them until tonight and I love them! I think they were my favorite part of the whole night. Love the use of a violin bow on the vibraphone/xylophone. Awesome sound & creative group. New Pornographers were good, but I enjoyed the Dodos alot more. Sorry NP!! Gonna be checkin' the Dodos out more I think.

Probably the best part of today was Jeff bringing Violet into the office. We played with Alison's rubberband ball and her little hand held mine through the park for awhile. *sigh...haha...very cute. She was my ticket into the playground and sandbox in Union Square. Sandbox time was hilarious to watch her go and collect abandoned sand buckets and fill them. Good scavenger! Made my day. I'm very happy!! She's cute as a button.

Spring is in bloom. Beautiful day Friday even though I was stuck inside. Loved the street performers I saw when I stepped ou for a sec. Made the farmer's market seem that much more lively.

Ran out of cranberries for my yogurt and granola last week so had to improvise. Haha. Bunny fruit snacks had to fit the bill. Random but still good!

Thought of these elves randomly when I was looking down at Union Square today and decided to figure out why they were here back then. (pic is from the earlier post I had on the dancing elves to jog your memories). I had heard a rumor that it was for an Office Max commercial at that time, but never saw them on TV or anything. Turns out it was for Office Max and the promotion of the website, Elfyourself.com. The video of the routine is above.
Too funny...haha...props to whoever it was for organizing that many people in elf suits and getting them to dance at the same time!
