Brooks & Who?
Today was pretty and some exciting things happened. For starters, I saw my friend (and her sister) who “lives” in Boston. But she’s a consultant who is always onsite in some far away city and only comes home on the weekends. So she is my “weekend” friend and I haven’t seen her since the wedding we attended in August. The second good news is my weekend friend won me concert to Brooks & Dunn (and the opener is Big and Rich) later this month! Yeah B!!
The whole story is as we were driving to the giant maze I was complaining that I still haven’t found any radio stations I like except for 99.5 (country). When we arrived at the maze 99.5 happened to have a table set up and I dragged my friends over. There was a contest where a DJ from the station was walking in the maze and whoever found him first got concert tickets. After answering my friends’ questions (“Brooks & Who?” “I have never of Big and…oh they sing THAT?? I totally know that song.”) we entered the maze. We were actually the only three entered in the contest and my friend B won and promptly handed the tickets over to me (when I finally got out of the maze) b/c she rocks (and b/c I was freaking out prior to the contest and animatedly talking about country music to the radio station intern). As contestants we also got free admission to the maze which was very cool. Now I love the station even more and I am listening to Big and Rich to celebrate. Oh yes, and while a lot of the inner maze activities were geared towards children (there was face painting village and it was a supervillian maze) I really liked the place. It’s crazy somewhere so farmlandish is so close to Boston. Also, b/c we were in the contest we had to walk around with these giant flags so people from towers could track our progress. I felt really cool :)
And the running demons were bad today. Except for 8/13 (hamstring) I haven’t missed a day of running all summer. However, that day I was at a wedding and was properly amused, visiting with seldom seen friends, and slightly inebriated. It’s horrible when it’s just you + the beautiful weather + free time + your running shoes vs. your brain saying you should probably hold off today Audrey. I hate the running demons. All of you about to taper for the marathon good luck with those!! Anyway, I just took a 3.5 hour nap. ?? That's weird, as I thought I had been sleeping enough.

Brooks and Dunn are awesome. I saw them the first time 10 years ago when they opened for Reba McEntire and have seen them twice since. I think you will enjoy the show.
