11/22: Live high



We may have missed the Lawrence stop on our way there, but that was the least of our worries. As we stepped off the El, we walked down to the Aragon Entertainment Center only to find a line of people snaked around the stone wall next to the building. It was 4 p.m. in the afternoon. Doors were not going to open for another two hours. So much for our plan to hang out in a snug coffee shop. Instead, we grabbed venti cups of Starbucks and joined the line, hardly prepared for the 20-degree weather. People were bundled up underneath blankets and layers of gear: hats, gloves, wind-resistant jackets. Us? We lost feeling in our toes and my legs became numb despite my leggings, jeans, hat and three layers of clothing.

And it was all worth it.

To hear Jazon Mraz's beautiful music. Mraz has such a great stage presence and just blew everyone away.

So we hopped back on the El with grins on our faces, disregarding the two hours in the cold and settling down at Clarke's for a late night meal.

I love the days I spend with Janise.








Can you tell that we're freezing?



Lisa Hannigan opened the show.
