.: Bliss.

This has been one impeccable week I tell ya and it's only on the road of becoming better....

I have so much in store starting tonight till Monday night...

Boy, do I love the Holidays!

If you have talked to me at all this week you know the highlight of this fun filled week has been a show I attended on Tuesday at The State Room in downtown Salt Lake City.

"The Other Lives" and JBM.

The show really blew my socks off.

The venue is a little strange in the sense that it's set up like an auditorium.

There are pew seats which most people find themselves sitting in, which is not to my liking.

When we first arrived, we decided we would brave it out and do the opposite of EVERYONE else and....stand.

Then JBM came on.

In love.

He is one man who plays a plethora of instruments.
He stands there by his lonesome with his guitar in hand, drum beats from his feet and harmonica solo's from his lips.
He truly is a sight to be seen.
His last few songs, a few of the members of " The Other Lives" came on and it just turned the atmosphere completely around.
Also,
If you're wondering.....at this time, us four are still the only ones standing with a sea of people sitting behind us. Very strange feeling.

JBM:

Then.....
The Other Lives came on....
WOWZERS!
Killed it from start to finish!
They have a different rhythmic sound then anything I have heard in a while.
They have a way of just making your head bob, your feet tap and your face to share the biggest smile it can.
You just start to exude happiness.
It's such great feel good music.
If I had to compare them to anyone I would say they sound similar to "Fleet Foxes."

The Other Lives.... Listen.

JBM.... Listen.

$40 later.....

JBM disc.

SUPPORTING.

We then of course decided to grab a drink across the street at "The Bayou," scarf down a plate of fries and talk about how the epic show was.....

Second highlight of the week so far was last night....
The girls of my office decided to go PF Chang's and grab dinner....
It was so nice to not think about work and just share some laughs among us.

The nice thing about PF Chang's is their GF menu, not to mention they also have a gluten free kitchen dedicated to making sure nothing gets contaminated.

I decided I would order something I haven't ever had there, The Buddha Plate, and it was nothing to my liking.
The usual Buddha Plate is pan fried veggies and tofu... delicious sounding....right?
The GF version - steamed veggies, no tofu, no sauce. Um... No thanks.
I mean, does that sound appealing to you? And at $9 a plate I would rather attempt to eat the chair I was sitting on.
However, our server was amazing and so helpful.
I told her the plate wasn't anything I assumed it to be so long story short she brought me out a WHOLE new plate of Chang's Chicken ( $14 a plate ) for free :)
I enjoyed myself plenty and gave her a well deserved 5 dollar tip for a $9 check.
