the hills are alive...

with the sound of music sing along!!! last night several of the girls and i went to the hollywood bowl to watch the sound of music and sing along to all the songs. but first...



kris, her sister bekah, bridgit and i rode the subway to hollywood and highland and met up with lottie, her friend kelly, christina, her friend hannah, debbie, kim, jessica and rebecca. we ate sushi and shabu shabu which was SOOOO good!!!



then we walked up the hill to the bowl. the "concert" was sold out so it was packed and it was all women and gay men with a few families thrown in. there was a costume contest before hand. "moonbeams in your hand" won - the first prize was a cruise!!!! we decided we are dressing up next year and i am not telling you what as because you might steal our idea. also, kris, bekah and i will sing as part of our costume so you know we are gonna win.



the movie started and the words showed up at the bottom of the screen for all the songs so everyone could sing along. whenever the baroness or the nazis came on the screen everyone booed and hissed and when the captain (gaorge??? who names their kid gaorge???) and maria kissed for the first time everyone set off firecrackers.

this was the most fun i have had with the girls in a loong time. the boys were all at lance and kris's house playing poker. most of us rode the subway home and they picked us up at the station.

at church today we had a fire drill. i think this is only the second time i have been in a public place (i.e. not a drill or kid pulling the alarm at school or in the residence halls) and the fire alarm went off. the first time was in march in vegas with shane and darci. i was in the bathroom (of course!) and freaking out, trying to hurry and i come out and everyone is still at the tables and slots, like it was only someone hitting the jackpot and not mortal danger. i do not know what set off the alarm this morning, but thankfully it was when we were there early and not actually during the service. i dont think there was an actual fire. dana and sabrina sang again (yay!). tomorrow: back to work, which after graduation two weeks ago, is rather boring. but i think i am going swimming st lunch with emily. so thats something to look forward to!
