On Tuesday morning, I tried to buy U2 tickets for a show they're playing in Pasadena in May. I was online early, waiting for the tickets to become available, but they sold out while I was trying to buy them. The same thing happened the last time they came into town, and we refused to pay the crazy resale prices.
So, when my favorite band added a show, I decided to join the fan club (for $50) to get access to the presale for the new date. I didn't know if this would be worth it, or a waste of cash.
But, when my presale access opened up the next day, bingo! I'm very excited for this show, and JT and Jim will go with us, just like way back in 2001.
Cora was invited to a GATE Art Enrichment Night on Thursday, where she and other gifted students from the district had an art lesson on making a block stamp.
Cora had a good time, making a stamp with a "Cora" hot air balloon.
On Saturday, we went to Dick's Sporting Goods to look at bikes.
Someone is turning 10 soon, and the
lovely bike she received for her 6th birthday is getting just a wee bit small.
This GT was her favorite... we'll see!
On Saturday night, we went to my parents' home to have dinner with a couple of relatives we hadn't met before. My mom has recently reconnected with her cousin Steven, and we were all introduced to his lovely daughter Lucy. It was a great evening, and nice getting to know them.
And, on Sunday afternoon, Rigo invited us over for carne asada, with their family and Luis and Audra and their girls.
Colleen and Audra had just returned from a church women's retreat, so our family's arrival was a surprise to them. It was a lot of fun - we'll have to return the favor soon!
