Friday, Chris and I went and saw Prince Caspian, because I am totally a Narnia dork. It was really well done and visually cool, except for the very end when they used a contemporary pop song with lyrics for the final poignant scene, which I found to be stupid. It was as if in the final scene of a Harry Potter movie, they played Sarah McLaughlin's "I Will Remember You". Totally anachronistic.
Yesterday, I visited the Tower Grove Farmers market for the first time, where I got some asparagus and plants. Chris and I later rode bikes up to Tower Grove for his kickball game. They needed a female player, so I guest played for them. Later, I went to our own Team Awesome game, where not only did we win big, but I kicked a triple AND we were filmed for Channel 11's Team of the Week for The Fan Show. Set your Tivo for 9:30 so you see just how awesomely ridiculous Team Awesome is. We even won a Papa John's pizza party.
Capping off the day, we went to Wilco, again, this time meeting up with Reverend Emily and Big Dan. Show wasn't as good, mainly because I was tired, and my poorly-chosen-but-cute shoes hurt my feet somethin' fierce, but the highlight was meeting in person with one of my blogging community friends. Rebecca from The Prologue of My Life and the St Louis Bloggers Guild attended all three shows and knew I'd be down on the floor. She came down and found me (by looking for the White Girl 'Fro, of course) and we spent almost 15 minutes talking. I have to admit, it's a little intimidating, meeting people whose relationship has been strictly internet-based, but meeting Rebecca alleviated my fears as we got along quite well because she is what I like to call "The Shit". Although when I went back to Chris, Rev Em, and Big Dan, they asked where I had been for 15 minutes, and when I said, "I was talking to my internet friend," I did get some weird looks and fake-lisp riddled comments. To those people, I say "Suck on these nuts".
Chris took some photos at the show.

Just a question..you keep saying conference championship. Was it your conference championship or district championship? I think you mean district, but I could be wrong, unless Brentwood is also in your league, too.
Sorry about the walk-out...I saw the boxscore, looks like you played them tough.
Our trivia team is set..although we will be horrible, we will be using the next two weeks to brainstorm a good team name. That's all I've got. See ya Kelli.
It was conference. Both our conference games against Brentwood got rained out, and we had no other choice to play after districts were over.
You crack me up: "I was talking to my internet friend"
You'll have to fill me in on what the hell the crazy ladies were doing down there last night, what with the security guards and the gal flipping Tweedy off. There was nothing better than when he flipped her off right back during Theologians. Love the photos Chris took, especially the first one.
I'm so glad I got my lazy ass up and came down to meet you!
