Carlos the Bunny meets Bun E. Carlos

As many of you may know, I have a stuffed bunny that I sleep with. His name is Carlos. My Dad named him after Bun E. Carlos, the legendary drummer in Cheap Trick. Today we went to the Taste of Randolph Street Festival and I got to meet Bun E. Carlos! Here we all are...from right to left...Me, Carlos the Bunny, Dad and Bun E. Carlos.
I also got to see The Posies perform their album "Frosting on the Beater" in it's entirety and a little bit of Urge Overkill. It was quite the power-pop day for me!

First Santa Claus, Then The Easter Bunny, Now Chris Mills

I went to Schubas last week with Mom, Dad and Uncle Jay to see Chris Mills. Chris is one of our very favorite songwriters. His songs "I Wish I Was A Bomb" and "Chris Mills Is Living The Dream" are two of my favorite lullabies that Dad sings for me. The show was too late for me, but Chris was nice enough to invite me to soundcheck. Here, Chris plays guitar while I do some dancing...

We had a great time, until it was time for me to get my picture taken with Chris...
It was Santa Claus and The Easter Bunny all over again. Chris was a really great sport about it and really, he's in some pretty great company now.
Where did it all go wrong? Later, when the cameras were put away, I did some more dancing and even got to play Chris' guitar with him.
