On Wednesday, Tak and I went to see MOS at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. It's a pretty sweet venue.
sooooooo excited
we had prime balcony seats
This sword swallower opened for them (and then a stand up comedian, and then a band called free energy).
Nick came to town! He left to go learn about ocean life on a ship off the coast of Mexico (the rough grad school life), but he'll be back in July.
Robyn made this delightful picnic for us! (We ate it at their house to facilitate world cup viewing.)
Ida had a birthday & she invited us over to celebrate! She also had quite the spread of homemade goodies (as sort of pictured here).
Lizzie and I went on the Macalester museum crawl in SF. We liked the Contemporary Jewish Museum.
Tak joined the crawl at SFMOMA and we visited bubbles.
We had all 7 Rit Dye colors. Super fance.
Lizzie's first piece
I served as the tie-dye instructor (putting to use the tying and dying techniques I learned in fibers).
Ooooooh, aaaahhhhhhh.
Sam also stopped by on his new hog! (It's a Kawasaki Ninja!)
Alena modeled her new sheets. This was her biblical look.
Psychedelic ghost.
Brother's a doctor! And he has a diploma (and funny hat) to prove it.
I spilled coffee on my dress on our way to the ceremony. It was sad.
DMS stage (the ceremony was under a giant tent in the parking lot outside the school)
We got there early for prime seats and pre-graduation party times.
They had this cute little live band playing pomp and circumstance (actually they played this German song I once sang in children's chorus).
Here they come!
Look! Bagpipes!
There he is! (And on the right is his friend Kristin.)
Hooded!
The fam with Brother's adviser.
We all took turns trying on the floppy hat.
It's official.
This is the oldest library in Vermont. It made me think of Jenny.
"You are special today"
After the graduation festivities, I bussed back down to Boston and met up with Tak and his friends for drinks and dining. Double whammy!
Tak and Robyn had everyone over for some food and fun this memorial day. Mmmmm BBQ.
Benjy came prepared.
Margaritas on the patio!
food, fun & friends
ditto
Last weekend Tak and I braved the cold and headed up to (a still snowy!) Truckee.
We stopped for lunch in downtown Truckee before driving over to lake Tahoe.
I can see what all the fuss is about. Tahoe is gorgeous!
Snowy hills.
Precious moments.
Nature time.
This is a from-the-moving-car shot. Pretty impressive, right?
Tak and I went to Anna's graduation (congrats Anna!). It was rainy, but fun. And we were good cheerers.
