Violin ROCK Concert

Oh yes...you read that title right.  My mother and I received tickets to David Garrett's violin performance.  I was prepared to listen to classical pieces all night and attempt to be sophisticated. 

However, as soon as I saw the stage set up from our 2nd row seat...of a keyboard, drum kit, a bass, and two electrical guitars, I knew that this wasn't going to be your normal violin concert. 

David Garrett's music combines classical and rock pieces together...such as using Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson, Led Zeplin, Metallica and many more.

This is David Garrett explaining and playing some of his pieces.

If you want to just listen to a few pieces of his...here is a video.

The concert was amazing!  Garrett and his band have very good chemistry and you can tell that they love performing.  If you have chance to go see him live...DO IT!

The audiences was mostly people over the age of  40 but there were still people yelling and cheering throughout the concert. 

Including the woman next to me, who had to be at least 50 years old, who asked me,
W: "Do you know how old David is?" 
Me: "Umm...well the program said he was 29, I think...."
W: "Oh  my! He could be my son!"
Me: Thinking....hmmm....why would she want to know that....
W:  "He is so HOT!"
Me: ....omg....

Trying Something New

So for one of my online classes I am taking, we have to go out and have 4 cultural experiances....whatever that means to us.  I wanted to try a new food, that I had I never had, and my dad suggested Ethiopian.  I found a little place on Cass & Saddle in Omaha.....Mmmmmmmm!

Assorted stuff...mmmmm, meat, feta, cabbage, lentils, salad and other stuff!

Meat, bread, eggs, salad....Mmmmm.

By the way, this by far some the tastiest tea I have ever had period!






Seriously, go out and try something new!
