A William Elliott Whitmore Weekend

Saturday evening 
Ryan and I

joined some friends

for dinner downtown at Dos Rios

and a William Elliott Whitmore concert.
[same hunky soulful Iowa musician I saw around the same time last year]

We made plans to meet up with my fabulous friend Shelley
so I knew she would be there.

Shelley had mentioned she had a surprise for me
so while I was prepared for her to show me something
it was actually a someone!

Shaine!
[A friend of ours that I hadn't seen in YEARS!]

[they're going to love me for posting these pictures]

We all had a chance to do some catching up

over drinks while we waited

for a table

at Dos Rios. 

Eventually we were seated

and the fun times began!

[On the right is my friend Dave.] 

{Dave gives a lot of thumbs ups and and closes his eyes for photos quite frequently as well.}

{See?}

[the photo is out of focus...but Dave still gives it a thumbs up.]

This is random

but we saw this group of girls at dinner

and I had my camera out and the leader of their pack

started coming at me so I snapped this shot:

[Probably out celebrating Gee Dubs' Bday or somethin']

After scarfing down

my {first ever} fish tacos {which were amazing}

we headed over to the main event.

Drooling over Listening to this guy.

He's pretty dreamy.

Shelley would agree.

[I wish this had been more in focus, Shelley. You would have used it as a profile for YEARS!]

{PS...have you washed that hand yet?}

It was a great night

and I'm hoping he'll be here next year

around the same time to toast him on another year.
