Pink Martini at the Oregon Zoo
Friday night, after all of the excitement of the 2007 O'Reilly Open Source Convention was behind us, Heidi, Saul (18 months) and I went up to the Oregon Zoo to catch a concert. Originally we were going to head out of town Friday afternoon but Heidi learned that Pink Martini was playing an outdoor show at the Zoo so we extended by one day.
The show was awesome. We didn't have great seats (general admission on the lawn) but the sound was awesome from where we set out our blanket and it actually worked pretty good to be in a spot further back where we could get in/out to take walks around the area with Saul when he needed to move.
Heidi is a bigger Pink Martini fan than I am, but I so enjoyed the live music and came away with a deeper appreciation for their music, especially the diversity of languages and styles. The weather was perfect, and Saul was a good boy, which made the evening as enjoyable as we had hoped.
