This weekend, Elizabeth came up from Washington DC to celebrate her birthday weekend with us! She traveled via the Chinatown bus, which was quite successful (although we've recently heard of Megabus and BoltBus, which we're certainly going to consider in the future if traveling near NYC). We had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. Our fun-filled activities included a study day, watching MacGyver, bike ride to Franklin Fountain (rain poured on us returning home...much more memorable that way!), liberti, Anna's graduation party, and simply hanging around the house. This is a picture of us on our roof deck after/during the downpour:
Then yesterday, Matthew Perryman Jones and two members of his band came to visit. They played tonight with another one of our favorite artists, Katie Herzig, at the World Cafe Live! We've seen Matthew a few times in the past two years, and we really enjoy his music. Our friend Dave Braud sent out an e-mail Sunday asking if anyone had a place they could crash. Since we're pretty excited to share our guest room with people (hint, hint!), we quickly agreed! To have musicians stay in our home? Pretty sweet. The show was awesome! We're already looking forward to their Christmas tour in December. Here's a picture from tonight:

Wow, did they have all sorts of crazy demands like other musicians and movie stars? Like vegan rice cakes from Guatemala on their pillow? Or to have the room contain nothing that wasn't white? Or to demand they not be looked at directly unless you tap on the floor with your knuckles first? If I was a celebrity, I'd totally have something... maybe a requirement for fresh cheese and cigars available all day in the bathroom.
