THE AVETT BROTHERS ARE COMING BACK!!!

They are coming September 10 to Cain's Ballroom. I can't believe it! We'll get to see them 2 times in one year. For those of you that aren't obsessed with them yet, you need to come to the concert. I had hardly heard any of their music when I went to the concert with the McCartys, and now almost 2 months later, I'm they are one of my favorite bands ever. I can't even tell you how good they are live. CDs and videos can't do them justice (although those are good too).

Come see them!!!

Eli's blog

Hey everyone-

I wanted to let you know I have made Eli's blog private. I have a friend that had someone basically steal her identity (they used the pictures, stories, etc. from her blog and posed as my friend on some online forums). That is really scary. So, even though it might be a pain, my blog is private now. Sorry for the trouble, but I want to protect my family.

Thanks!
Amanda

PS-I sent out invitations to read Eli's blog today. If you didn't get one, it means I don't have your email, so send it my way!

Another reason I love Stephen Colbert

While delivering a speech to the graduating class at Princeton:

"You can change the world," he said. "Please don't do that, OK? Some of us like the way things are going now."

He also won an ward from Princeton called "The Great Princeton Class of 2008 Understandable Vanity Award."
