good times...

the killers concert was good...dunno what i think of the long beach arena as a venue, but being on the floor was cool...more so when i could see the stage between all the tall people in front of us. i was impressed by the lead singer - his voice is even better live - and the drummer - he was really good, but i think it was also because he was the one guy i could see better than the rest of the band 'cuz the drums were elevated onstage. i think they played their whole album, ending with one of my favorites, which had most of us jumping up and down...hehe.

yesterday, i went to chris and holley's wedding...for those of you who don't know, chris is a film music composer, and holley is a musicology grad student...omigoodness, the music was so great at their wedding. the string quartet was awesome, there was a ten person choir, and a number of soloists (oboe, trumpet, singers)...with music from the mission, mozart, rudy, harry potter, and final fantasy 3 (yes, that's right, final fantasy 3...roaming sheep), plus chris wong original scores! right after the recessional, susan and i looked at each other and i was thinking it, but she said it, she had to have the soundtrack...which they provided as wedding favors at the reception, where they also played great 80s music. then, on the ride home, chris (another chris, not the groom) demonstrated his own deejaying skills and gave us a taste of what he woulda played at the reception, which had susan and shuwen rocking out (me just a little bit, hehe). all in all, yesterday was a great day...
