His & Hers concerts

A little while ago I won tickets to another ACL Live taping at the Moody Theater downtown. It was for a band called Delta Spirit, and they were awesome! They also performed at the ACL City Limits festival, but it was early Friday afternoon and I didn't make it in time from work. This was sooooo much better :)

Ricky took a picture of me while waiting in line to be seated

So I in turn took one of him : )

I was bold this time and snuck a picture during the show!!!

 

We had met up with friends for drinks and some eats at East Side Kings before the show. So we decided to take a cab from the bar to the show, and this was our sweet ride back to the east side to pick Ricky's truck up. Ricky signed up for free membership of the Car2go program, and I have to admit it's pretty handy. You look up on the app where a car may be, and then drive it and leave it where ever your destination may be. All you do is pay by the minute for it's use. He started out with Originally 35 minutes and we haven't even used them all yet. It only took us maybe 10 minutes at most to go across downtown,; it was just that simple.

Our original Plan was to head to Houston on Friday, but we only found out a few days before the Delta Spirit show that we won free tickets to the taping so we decided to stay for the show that night. Unfortunately, I had already agreed to help out with my company's Houston Branch inventory audit first thing Saturday morning. So at 5am on Saturday we headed out to Houston, needless to say we weren't super excited to be in the car at that point ; )It actually went by pretty fast and I was out of the office by 1pm . Since I was staying with my family and not getting a hotel for the night I was also able to take everyone out to dinner, compliments of Laird.

Ricky had purchased tickets for Katie, himself and I  to go to the Taking Back Sunday concert at the House of Blue in downtown Houston on Saturday night. Turned out Katie wasn't able to get off work as originally planed,  so it turned into an unexpected date night for Ricky and I. Our family lives in a suburb about 45 mins north ( in the Woodlands area) of the actual city, so I was really excited to explore downtown Houston. The concert was a lot of fun, and I was surprised on how many songs I knew ; ) This was a 10 year anniversary tour of one of their albums. 

Comcast cable's sports channel is housed in  the same complex as the House of Blues venue, and Ricky is standing in front of their live studio they were prepping for a show later that night. We were only a few blocks away from the Houston Rockets Arena and they were prepping for a live "after game" show.

Afterwards we explored the bar scene on Washington St., and I will admit it has changed my view of Houston for the better. Definitely not enough to move there, but it's growing on me for sure.

 

 

We we started our shenanigans for the evening at this bar.

Towards the end of our night we happened to drive by one of Ricky's sites and saw their banner. At the time we thought we were the funniest people in the world with this photo, ha ha. Afterwards not so much ; )

 It was a great weekend that ended too quickly as usual. I have some stuff to post of last weekend, but time has just been flying by recently ( man do I feel old, lol). We have our 2nd annual Beer Olympics with our friends coming up this weekend as well as the new opening of the first US Formula 1 racetrack and 1st race this weekend. Not to mention Thanksgiving is next weekend, and we are traveling this year with a large group to FSU vs. UF game !!!! I'm beyond excited for the game it's been a few years since I was in Tally for a game!

Have a great week- Luv Di
