i thought this was going to be a pretty slow week for the list. getting the apartment empty and clean before thanksgiving is claiming more of my time and peace of mind than i expected (read: the old apartment got packed up and moved out before the new one was ready, so now almost all my stuff is perma-shoved into two hatchbacks and i'm crashing with some stand-up folks and a duffel bag until i get into the new place).
despite that nonsense, many awesome things still managed to happen this weekend, two of which are on the list: kyle's band (always a good time) played a benefit show at the comet (#35) and some friends scored extra tickets to the major league soccer championship game (#36)! i'd never been to a professional soccer game before, so the mls cup was a great way to cross a sports game off my list - plus, awesome seats! we were rooting for real salt lake over the l.a. galaxy. i had my own baseless reasons - namely that my sister lives in salt lake, and i feel like i just shouldn't like l.a. teams in general. good thing too, because salt lake won it in a super-dramatic shootout, ensuring that my canvas sneaker-clad toes did not freeze in vain. also, if i've learned anything from both this match and the tmbg show a couple weeks ago it's that every awesome thing is made awesomer by glitter cannons. check the sparkly field!

i work with a guy who plays in the sounders band- next season, i'll hook us up with some free tickets in the crazy fan section.
I can attest to the awesomeness of LIly's sounders tickets. They are directly in the hoodlum section. It's a fantastic time.
Some of these seem misplaced... like 85. That one makes me giggle for reasons I don't understand. Well I do, but no need to go off on a tirade about it. Also. HI LIZ! Fun blog, and love the concept of doing all of these things.
Yeah RSL!! Mmm I'm only about a week too late, but glad you enjoyed yourself. I love MLS games; they're always a good time.
Um, I thought you were going to post again? Chop chop!
