Pam Narozny: World's Greatest Babysitter

What a week...

New York --> Shannon --> Dublin --> Madrid --> Toledo --> Jaen --> Granada --> Torremolinos--> Dublin --> New York

6 great people. 6 great nights. 500 miles driven. 1 Car lost along the way. Guiness. Sangria. Rioja. Cerveza. Nonstop laughter. Seriously the best trip I have ever taken. I'll tell some stories soon, but here are two of the coolest photos ever:

Talk to you soon.

Thought this was funny...

Hiatus

Pam is currently on a summer hiatus.

I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. To hold you over here is a quick update:

I've had off 2 weeks in the last month. It's nice. I am off next week and heading to Dublin and then Spain. That's nice too. I have played out the Nicole Atkins EP- Bleeding Diamonds. She's really nice. I purchased Guitar Hero II and two guitars and have played that an awful lot. It's super nice. I just read A Thousand Splendid Suns, which was a good read, but not so nice. There is nothing nice to tell about a woman's life in Afghanistan over the last 30 years... well not in this novel. Read it.

I hope life is treating you all well. I am currently enjoying the summer and spending less time farting around on my computer. I think that's a good thing.

Here is a picture of the grandparents with my sister and I:

I got mad love. Take care.

Oh, The Shows I've Seen

Long time no update.

I have been super busy with work and my personal life. The last time I updated I told you about Arcade Fire... good times. Here's a quick list of what I have been up to:

5/12- LCD Soundsystem at Studio B- Holy Crap was this a fun night. A sweaty dance party. It doesn't sound appealing, but it was so much fun.
5/14- Mando Diao at Bowery Ballroom- Love these Sweedish rockers. They played too much new stuff and not enough of the old, but a tight set indeed.
5/15- Arctic Monkeys at Hammerstein- I haven't seen a mosh pit in ages. Good times.
5/16- Mets vs. Cubs at Shea Stadium. This game had a major rain delay. It didn't start until 10pmish. We celebrated Fetter's 28th birthday at the stroke of midnight (Sans beer :-( stadium not serving any)
5/17- Dentist to fill cavity- boo.
5/18- Mets vs. Yankees at Shea Stadium- We win!
5/21- JAMC at Webster Hall- Great show, but they almost broke up AGAIN before our very eyes!!

So you see kids... I've been very busy. It's all fun and games until somebody gets wiped out.

Talk to you soon.

P.S. I also managed to get my all-time highest Scrabble score: 436

Oh My Effing Gee!!!

The Arcade Fire did not disappoint. I had high expectations and they came through. Holy crap. Tight. Going to shows like that is the reason I love music.

Let me tell you something about myself. I hate begging for encores. Hate it. Anyone of my concert buds will tell you it's my least favorite part of the show. Sure I love the encore, but don't make me beg! I am still going to buy your album and cheer for you. With that being said... I was freakin' moved by the crowd humming Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) over and over, pleading with them to come back and play some more. Moved I tell you!!! I was completely part of it and loving every second. I didn't mind being part of it.

There was something so powerful about a room of adults (very diverse age-wise) singing along to Wake Up... If the children, don't grow up. Our bodies get bigger, but our hearts get torn up… Goose freakin' bumps.

Ok, ok, ok... Enough of the fluff. It wouldn't be Pam-like if I didn't have at least one complaint. Only a 2 song encore??? No Crown of Love??? Otherwise- great show, I wish I were going again.

Believe the hype and go see these guys (and gals).

P.S. The National were really good too! Sorry for not mentioning that earlier.

P.P.S. I write as if I don't have the editing ability to squeeze in a paragraph above about The National.
