Weekend blogging

Friday:

Andreas had a "Moving Job" . (That's basically been our grocery money each week.) :) He's had about 5 jobs, from putting up posters around town and advertising on Craigslist.

I spent the afternoon volunteering with Postmark Café (the café our church runs to be involved with community in the 'hood).

Friday night: We went to Australia Sheep Station with some friends for the church. Good burgers, chicken sandwich, and toffee dessert. ;)

Saturday:

Pretty lame...because I tried to shop for work clothes in SoHo. That was a HUGE mistake on SATURDAY - aka Tourist-Field-Day!! Talk about people galore. Sidenote: Look people if someone is looking at clothes hanging on a rack, you wait until they walk away, then you yourself shuffle through the rack.

You don't HOVER over the person who got there first, then start REACHING OVER TOP of them in order to shuffle through the clothes. Hello?? haha. Don't worry, Jesus loves you still - you may need to pray about patience, but Jesus loves you.

Saturday Night: It got a bit more enjoyable/relaxing, a lot more actually. :) Andreas and I headed to Postmark Café's after hours concert. Opening with Frank, Stacey, and Eunji's band: Young People. Guests from Pennsylvania also traveled over, a band and their lead singer: Christina Ward. Closing out the night with her ukulele was Kohli Calhoun.

Young People bring an artsy/rock sound to the speakers. Makes you feel like your visiting somewhere in the family of Swell Season? Some of the instruments used were: keyboard, guitar, xylophone, aaaand a Bell Shaker Stick, that's right: Bell Shaker Stick. :)

Band from Pennsylvania (which unfortunately I didn't catch their "band" name, if they had one since this was their first time working all together). Christina Ward was able to keep her cool even when the sound-speaker went crashing down to the ground mid-song, and she kept rocking it out on vocals and her banjo.

Kohli Calhoun, accompanied by Young People did her thing with her ukulele. Her vocals remind be of visiting somewhere in the family of...Regina Spektor & Feist. In between songs was never a dull moment as she interacted with the audience and cracked jokes. She plans to release an album in December with Pep Pep Records (Frank and Stacy's company).

Sunday:

We made a failing attempt attending Morning Star Church (Sorry Grace, we'll try again next week?). No alarm to wake us up = waking up late, and trains on the weekend...crazy. You have to leave at least 30 minutes earlier than usual!

We found ourselves in Manhattan, no church, and dreary weather = let's go see a movie! The Other Guys. Will Ferrel NEVER fails to make me laugh! The movie, however teeter tottered on goofy-goofy comedy and good comedy (also a few unnecessary "coarse" joking :-P ) Parts of it will make you laugh for sure though. Wait until it's out for rent. (Oh, and clearly anti-"capitalism"/big business bail-outs.)

Sunday night: we headed to "Church! of Park Slope". First time attending the night service. Great sermon about "Holy, Holy, Holy" - how Holy is God?? Holy-Holy-Holy, not just Holy-Holy. . . true story. believe it.

Andreas and I closed up the weekend with a heated game of Phase10. (I win!)
