Fun With Friends

As of last month, Vince and I had been meaning to spend time with our friends Mike and Angie since last summer, so I decided it was time to make a plan to actually hang out with them! Although we have all been busy, we finally set aside a day to catch up. Mike and Angie invited us over to their new house for coffee one Sunday and we had a fabulous time! The coffee and snacks were great (Mike even roasts some of his own coffee), we all had fun getting to know each other more, AND we ended up going to a great concert the next day :)

Mike's impressive coffee setup :) Vince and I learned a lot about different

coffee-brewing methods and we were all well-caffeinated after our taste tests!

After several rounds of coffee, we decided to relocate to the living room, where we (literally) spent the rest of the day chatting it up. Angie had a pretty cool tidbit about a potential concert too- Jack White was planning a visit to Anchorage- and asked us if we'd be interested in going to his acoustic concert with them. The event would only be confirmed the "day of" the concert, but she had a pretty good feeling that it was going to happen the next day. Being music junkies ourselves, Vince and I were definitely up for it- even if it meant a potential wait outside a local college campus for tickets hehe. We came up with a tentative plan, and Angie said she'd let us know the specifics the next morning if it was indeed a "go"...

...Angie's text the next day ;)

Mike and Angie beat us to the line by around an hour, but thankfully

we made it there with plenty of time to snag two of the (limited) tickets. This

picture shows only about 1/20th of the line! It was chilly outside and it ended

up snowing for most of the day, but our wait - and numb fingers- paid off!

The all-acoustic set was amazing

We loved the "old-time" style

What a treat! I am definitely looking forward to this music going on

sale, and it was a great way to spend time with some seriously cool peeps ;)
