Barack is next door

Barack is at the Letterman show with hundrends of police man, media, fans and foes (policemen on the roof of buildings too!) and Dave is in 3 hours...just thought you'd want to know the status of my life.

WHOA!

"As if Dave Matthews in concert wasn't enough, there may be huge surprise guests Sept. 10 at Madison Square Garden. We hear both Brad Pitt and Matthews-bud Julia Roberts will come onstage at the Stand Up for a Cure benefit, and 300 9/11 first responders, some struggling with cancer and lung diseases, will be in the audience. Jordan Belkin, director of the lung cancer research charity, said: "We're honored to have these heroes" in the house the night before the anniversary." - http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/08/27/2008-08-27_celebrity_side_dish.html


Wow. Whoa. Yowza.

Christmas Morning...

My brother and I have now had both of our Christmas mornings early - his was Sunday, the official start to NFL and mine..today..with Dave Matthews at the Garden!

Heather is going off negative hours of sleep, so I thank her for allowing me to drag her to see him!

I looked at his last couple of shows and he didn't play Dancing Nancies on his last performance...meaning....that he may play it for me tonight! See, he punished me back in August when I missed the Louisville show...but I'm back and he better reward me! ;)

Remember now...Julia will be there too!

On another fun note - Heather will have the best "Roomie Sez" of all time in the next few days...you will WANT to read it!

My Roomie o' Fabulous!

You may know the lovely and sexy Nigel Baker as a judge from America's Next Top Model. I just know him as the guy who stares down my roomie with dreamy eyes...

Heather's at Fashion Week hanging with beautifuls and making it onto blogs:

Yeah...she's my roomie.

Another Dave...

So last night as I started my walk home, I saw a crowd formed in front of bright lights (it was dark at this point) and high-jump gear set-up. It was set-up on 53rd and Broadway. It was a Dave Letterman stunt!

I walked over and made my way through the crowd to see a man wearing what looked like an Olympic uniform...talking to a camera. The crowd was silent. It was peculiar...but I decided to go on home...I was tired and more importantly, hungry.

As I walked away...everyone started cheering....but not that I was walking away because who would be happy about that? No...I believe Dave finished talking to the man and I missed the high jump he did. I just saw the landing.

I jumped on Dave's Website today to check out what I saw/didn't see. But have since forgetten because tomorrow (Dave Matthews Day!)...Barak Obama will be next door to me. Literally.

This week's guests:

Wednesday, September 10
Democratic Presidential Nominee Sen. Barack Obama
LeBron James (USA Olympic Basketball Gold Medalist)

-------------------------------
Thursday, September 11
Jessica Simpson (CD, "Do You Know")
"Jungle" Jack Hanna

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

Friday, September 12
Meg Ryan (The Women)
Ricky Gervais (Ghost Town)
-------------------------------

And note...I do not care that Jessica Simpson will be next to on Thursday. I actually would like to call in sick...or protest the show with my sign "Women Against Pink Jerseys!"

If I had it all...

So reason #431 why my Atlanta boss, Mike, is so awesome! I told him about Dave's concert to raise money for lung cancer...and this is what he came back with!

And notice he even used a Dave song as the caption...nicely done!

Weeks # 2 & # 3 recap

So I had an interesting weekend that consisted of a boy from Denmark, Heather at Fashion Week and myself in Connecticut with the cutest 3 and now 5-year old kids ever! I'm only going off of about 4 hours of sleep but will try and summarize the highlights of the past couple of weeks! Once I get some coffee and a bit of Zzzs tonight...you'll get the inside scoop!

Weeks 2 & 3

• Saw Stephen King walking with the shirt, "Be Nice to Me or I'll Put You in My Book"
• Saw America's Next Top Model that should've never won, Whitney
• I angered a married man from Canada when I wouldn't comply with his idea of "open marriage"...all while hanging out at The Hog Pit in the Meat-Packing District
• Stopped by the Today Show to watch the New Kids and Ne-Yo...on my way to work of course
• Paid a sickening amount for dry cleaning that I didn't even know could be charged for dry cleaning
• Ate pizza in Central Park while the city did sound tests for the NFL pregame show with Usher, Keith Urban, Natasha Bedingfield and more (Columbus Circle)
• Got Dave Matthews tickets (at the Garden!) and realized the show is not only to raise money for cancer research...but lung cancer research (my former boss is currently dealing with lung cancer)
• Chose Boston as my stomping grounds for my first 5k (I know people...it's not a lot, but for me...it may as well be a marathon!)
• Ate a lot of good food and discovered the bliss of Peanut Butter Cup Perfect in a quart
• Joined a gym and have yet to visit
• Beat my walk from 80th to Grand Central Station (walking by the UN on my way) by walking from 80th to Soho (that's a long walk folks)
• Fell in love with the Grand Central Station market
• Met a boy from Denmark that stole my heart who loved Dumb and Dumber
• Spent a sickening amount of money on only 4 drinks at Sutton Place while Heather and I were hit on a young Joe Simpson
• Ate the most amazing cheese fries on my life in Alphabet City
• Kentucky beat Louisville, but the Bengals couldn't even beat a drum
• Tom Brady is more than likely out for the season (and therefore will not be playing this week's Jet's home game which I was so hoping he would!)
• Attended my niece's birthday party in Connecticut and hung out with the family...fell in love with my nephew Nicolas (Age 3) who melted my heart when he asked me, "Aunt Carly...what do you want to be when you grow up?" <---picture that in the cutest voice possible!
• Roomie hung out at Fashion Week with many stars of Bravo...and will be there for a few more days...my roomie is saucy

Think that wraps that up. Looking forward to Wednesday and possibly a little 9/11 tribute on Thursday...game on Sunday....
