This is totally going to turn into the countdown to New Zealand. I have no idea what I'm going to do for my 5 days there - at least I think it's 5 days, I pick up my ticket tomorrow to get my exact itinerary - but I know it'll be fun. The funny thing is this editor (former) for one of the travel sites did an over-rated under-rated travel destinations and listed New Zealand as over-rated. He said if you want to visit some place like New Zealand, go to Canada (BC). He listed Canada as under-rated. I always did think that LOTR could be filmed in BC with the sites so I'm not surprised. A friend of mine spent Christmas in New Zealand so she's giving me a list of things to do and told me to stick to the northern part.
The Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds benefit concert was freaking amazing. Man I don't know of two better artists to see live.
As a surprise last minute bonus, Seattle band Death Cab For Cutie performed pre-Dave/Tim. Great band. Their latest cd drops in May so be sure to pick it up.The seats we had weren't bad. I mean I was in the same building as his Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. How bad could life be?
