Super Indy

I keep meaning to post this but I've been running around like a crazy person instead.  Obviously.  :)

--------------------------

Last week, on Wednesday, I texted my BFFs and said that the Today Show was going to be in Indy and I was excited about it.  Unfortunately, I had to work all week last week.  I felt like I was running ragged, but there was a lot to be done at work.

Fortunately, my friends are way more convincing than I am.  They all took the morning off of work, so last Thursday night we wandered into Downtown Indy to see the sights.  For some reason, I had never made time to see the Superbowl sights in Indy.  Big mistake, HUGE.

We hung out at the Thursday night concerts and then went home around midnight to work on our Today Show signs.  I feel like we rocked them.

As we walked to the Today Show at just before 6 am, I felt like we had stumbled upon a different city.  The streets were certainly not crowded at that hour!!

I got my picture with the big numbers!

Too bad the dumb WTHR news crew jacked up my picture with their lights!!

Oh well, still an awesome picture.  Once in a lifetime, I might say.

The Today Show area was quite crowded when we got there, which was a bummer.  And we should have known better.

Fortunately, we really only came to see Adam Levine and Gym Class Heroes perform Stereo Hearts.

Al on the zip line (he's on the left).

 

 Adam Levine warmed up with a little Jackson Five, which was predictably adorable.

And Gym Class Heroes were cute and a lot of fun, even at the crack of dawn.

 

Ohh Adam Levine.  If only every Friday could start out like this...

Yeah, normally everyone dogs on Indy for being... well, very Indiana-ish.  But I think the world got a little taste of how awesome Indy is this past week.  And I'm not sad about it, at all.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

On Friday, the Boy and I ventured out to downtown Indy to watch the Indianapolis Indians play at Victory Field.

I haven't been to a baseball game in years so it was really fun to get out and about and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Speaking of which, was absolutely perfect. I'd say it was about 75 degrees and perfect the entire night... perfect for a baseball game.

Unfortunately, the game was BORING and nobody scored FOREVER so I had to find ways to entertain myself.

The most important way to entertain yourself is to seek out your favorite sporting event food:

The Lemon Chill. I, myself, need Lemon Chills at any and all sporting event. It's just not a sport if you can't buy a Lemon Chill. (Speaking of which - Chicago Cubs - what's the deal? No lemon chills?? WTF?)

Another way to entertain yourself is to make The Boy feel meticulous by styling him in some sport-appropriate looks. Like the hat?? Stylin', I know.

Fortunately, the Indy Indians redeemed themselves with a spectacular showing of fireworks after the game. Have I mentioned that Fourth of July is my FAVORITE holiday and I LOVE fireworks??
In fact, I announced to The Boy that I would in fact like to have fireworks at my wedding reception. He was all meh about it but I don't care... I think they are fun and special and I saw it on "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?" so it must be true..

It was a good weekend all around here... how was your weekend??

P.S. Have you given me any suggestions for my summer reading list?? You should!
