This past weekend we were invited to hear our friends perform with their band the Studio Rockets. A bunch of people from our soccer team joined us to make it a fun evening.
The first band up was Cold Coffee and Salty Boots.
Then the Studio Rockets!
Working in the low, red light conditions were challenging with my lumix but I was still happy with the pics – I did not like the quality of photo when using the flash and I felt it really lost the atmosphere as well.
Most of my photos were taken at 1/8 to 1/10 s. and f/3.7 and 3.8 ISO 3200.
We had a great time and enjoyed some great music!

So I came to Edmonton this week for a conference and in the evenings I had to pass the time so the first night I ate in the hotel cafe since it was late and I wasn’t sure where was good nearby.
The cafe is called Pradera Café and had a lovely menu. I had a salad with bocconcini cheese, tomatoes and pine nuts. The dressing was light and flavorful.

Okay, so I’ve been going mad over my U2 pictures but there was another band that we saw – I didn’t get too many pictures but here are a few. The opening band for U2 was Snow Patrol – I wasn’t very familiar with them but once they started performing I did recognize a few of their songs.

Yesterday we celebrated my husband’s 30th birthday. It was a really fun party and I made the cake! I wanted to make it to his taste and incorporate a car cutout. Unfortunately, the 3rd tier didn’t happen but I was still really happy with the cake. It was a chocolate cake with chocolate marshmallow fondant. I haven’t made a lot of 2 tier cakes so I was really happy with how the tiers worked out.

This weekend I went to So You Think You Can Dance Canada with a friend and her family. It was her daughters first concert – which is always exciting. We were sitting in the 7th row so we had an amazing view. I was happy because it’s always easier to get good concert photos when you are close and having to use a P&S camera.
