Tonight's market was such a success. My parents made it out for the session, I had my new yellow director's chair, and I got to jam with some awesome local musicians. A lot can happen when you bring a djembe drum to a jam session on main street.
I also went shopping with t-mo and Cacie at HSS for a couple pair of new sun-glasses. It took about an hour to pick out the right ones. I got some hobie and arnetts. I also talked to the manager at HSS today about getting my music played in the store!! Apparently, he recognized me from a Christmas Morning South side paddle out at the pier.
After the Market my parents and I got some dank fish tacos at Fred's and then we went to Bella Terra to see Avatar.Pretty trippy. I definitely kept the glasses :)
