Wahines that Rock

I did it - I managed to go out on a Friday night. I've been a big stick in the mud lately, haven't been going out much, just happy to be in the honeymoon phase with Bradley. But I've been waiting for this concert for the last month, and I wasn't about to miss it. Luckily Carrie and Justin decided to go too, which I'm glad of because it ended up just being the four of us, and Bradley wasn't really motivated to go in the first place. So I got to enjoy all the awesome Wahines (women), and Bradley got to hang out with Justin for a while. We headed up early, got our tix, and then did a little walk along Front St., ate dinner at Penne Pasta (another Mark Ellman restaurant, so 50% off, yay!), and then mosied back toward Hard Rock Cafe. We stopped in a lot of art stores and galleries too, super fun.

The concert got started really late, and there were a few sound system issues along the way, but we really enjoyed awesome tunes from The Girlas, Erin Smith (my favorite), and some of Paula Fuga. All amazing musicians, and each with a unique style. We were all yawning by the time Paula started though - which wasn't until 12am. We made it through 1 and a half songs, and then all decided to head out. It was a really fun night though, and I'm proud of myself that i lasted that long. I'm so used to being at work early, and going to bed early, so staying up past 10pm is a big achievement for me. :)
