Going to a Barn!

Who dis?

So, I'm involved this this group called Taste of the Twin Cities and every other week or so we hit up a new restaurant in the Twin Cities. We bring in anywhere between 75-100 people to these events so it's pretty sweet. But each semester we have a huge event, and this time it was "The Barn".

So here we have Bill Svoboda, Mark Mellon, and Aron Clark in the middle of filming the video, "Going to a barn!" somewhere south of Cottage Grove. I just love this pic. They were for real breakin it down in the corn. the corn is just that mellow earthy color and then you have the clear blue sky above them. i just love the colors contrast.

that and these boys' get ups. bill took it to the next level with the handlebars and stache.

Dodger Stadium

a taste from home

Dodgers v Brewers

okay, i know i'm not from Wisconsin, but having the Brewers play the Dodgers was the next best thing! I was totally rooting for the Dodgers :P what else am I going to do in LA?

Dodger Stadium is beautiful! coming from a land where open stadiums are just a bad idea, the night was beautiful and the black sky made for a great contrast against the stadium lights. People were cheering, the dodger dogs were nom nom, and the company was great :) Even though the Dodgers sucked it up that game, it was still awesome :)

Music

Music... Old School

sups jealous. I was over at my friend Ron's house practicing for a wedding we are singing in, and i saw this amazing old antique organ that they had! It still had some life in it, it plays one note when you work the foot pedal. But i love the colors and the look and just how music was made back in the day :)

the best part of this shot (that i didn't realize until after) is that the nob my camera is focused on says "melodia".

LOVE it.

the bodega

La Crosse, Wisconsin... known for having the most bars on one street


Looking out from the bodega bar in La Crosse. It's kinda cool. The bar itself is really chill and boasts over 500 types of beer from all over the world. The people that come into the bar are just from all walks of life, all ages, and everyone ready to enjoy a nice cold brew.

Dear Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,

Ever since I have returned you have constantly reminded me that I have neglected my blog. I whole heartedly agree and so I will kick off fall semester with one of my favorite pictures from Disneyland :)

Entrance into Tomorrowland

I took this pic when us TOMS interns took a trip to Disneyland. It was super fun and an awesome time but i just love this picture. Love the lines and the colors and the contrasts. Amazing :)

-- maybe later i'll do some more pics from the summer :)

Greetings from Playa Del Rey, California!

Hey ALL :)

So it's Saturday night. And it feels kind of surreal as I'm sitting here across the table with two of my fellow interns (and one friend) chillin on facebook and wondering if we should go to pinkberry (is that even a question??).

My uncle dropped me off this afternoon, and Ivy (one of the interns) and I tried to figure out what was going on. We were joined later by Charlene, her friend Francis, and Matt. The house was kind of gross so we trekked to target to get sheets, cleaning supplies, and... well, mostly cleaning supplies! We had dinner together at Pho Show in Culver City and went through all sorts of introductions!

THen it was time to clean. We had a brief distraction from Larry, the resident previous TOMS intern bum (hehe) who shared stories with us, and then set to work cleaning. IT WAS KIND OF GROSS. the previous interns, gotta love them, left a lot of random stuff around... plus the showers and stuff were just kind of nasty. then we did the kitchen. and now we're relaxing and updating twitters and facebook statuses and planning on some Pinkberry in about fifteen minutes :)

TOMORROW is more cleaning, followed by a TOMS intern dinner! love it :) will update more with pics!
