Street Team Yanni Adventures

Before I attempt to catch up with our family happenings since April, I thought I'd post about our "Yanni Street Team" adventures.  We all know this isn't my first post about Yanni and it probably isn't the last, but I asked the Yanni community leaders to send me some posters to help advertise the concert and so the kids & I have posted some around town.  Here's a few pics...

 At the Historic Rio Grands Theater!!  My kids are dying to get into the Magicians Camp next week, but probably not this year. :(

 A new stylish Boutique in Downtown Main street.

 Here we are at the community theater and we were lucky to get a sneak peak at the set of their new play "Man of La Mancha."  I can't wait to take my older kids to see it. 

Then of course, our beloved Coas bookstore.  The place you go to see what's happening around town.  I LOVE the smell of this place, can't beat the smell of old books. :)

This Saturday, July 14th Cameron, my mom & I are all going to the Yanni concert at Popejoy Hall in Albuquerque.  But first I'm having a pre-show gathering at a restaurant that I thought would be PERFECT... Yanni's Mediterranean Grill! (4:30-6:30pm if you're in the area.) Isn't that funny?  I really hope we get a surprise visit from either Yanni himself or someone in the band and that way we have our own "Evening with Yanni."  :)  Fingers crossed.

Cameron is super excited.  I told him the story about when I went to my first Yanni concert in Portland, OR when I was 7 months pregnant with him.  All throughout the concert he was moving in my tummy and so I'm convinced it was because he liked the music.  Turns out that Yanni is one of his favorite artists to listen too.  His favorite song is the storm and we all love to dance to it in the living room.

Put this song onto your ipod and you will have the best jog ever.  The song starts out slow (you start your slow jog), then when it changes to the fast tempo your adrenaline will start to flow and you will want to sprint.  A great way to burn a few thousand calories. haha

So, I thought it would only be right if I take him along for my 4th concert and let him finally experience what a room full of the BEST musicians in the world are like.  I know he has an ear for music.  I'm hoping that after this concert he can feel a connection to a certain instrument and we can start lessons.  I can't wait to see his reaction when the show starts.  I'll fill you in after this Saturday!

Here's another one just because.....
