Drewshizzle And The Boys

     It's been a great couple of weeks.  Morp (girls-choice ugly prom) was fantastic.  My date dumped a bucket of red paint down the back of my shirt and not many guys can say that.  It included pizza, Curses (the game), paint wars, and McDonald's.  What a night!
     It was the end of third term last week.  I can't believe that the year is almost over.  Now just for testing...  Also, Yours Truly can legally drive other people!  Booya!
     On Saturday, Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band came to Timpview for a private concert.  Beno, Taylor, and I, tripled up for an awesome date (myself with Kimberly Russon).  It was a super fun night and everybody had a great time.  The band's sheer musical talent, energy, and goofy sense of humor make them great performers.  I would attend anytime.  Here is one of their music videos:

     On top of that, I was fortunate enough to attend the ward talent show earlier this evening.  Yes, I did participate.  I was planning on doing a solo performance on the guitar or banjo, however, a couple of awesome brothas recruited me to form a band.

    
     Not bad for one practice, eh?  Thank you Oak Hills 2nd Ward Young Women for your support ;)  We hope to be back next year even better than before...

Kalai

Today I'm writing partly to document a great event, and partly to tell all of you of a great musician that you need to listen to.  Yesterday I attended a Kalai concert at Timpview High School.  Kalai is a Hawaiian born artist who is probably the most amazing guitar player that I have ever heard.  He has a bunch of albums out including Acousticism (my fav), Six Strings And The Rainy Day Man, and Crows Feet.  Anyhow, go check his music out.  He's one of a kind and he's among my favorite artists.  A couple of my awesome cousins came down from SLC for the concert and we hit campus for some J-Dawgs and Apple Beer before the concert.  All in all, an amazing evening.  Picts below:

 P.S. On a side note: Timpview has an amazing ballroom dance team.  In the afternoon before the concert a friend and I went and saw them preform at a competition at Orem High.  I highly recommend checking them out.  Rock on Timpview dance team!!
