I didn’t get into San Francisco until about 2:30 this morning after leaving Mammoth Lakes to go to Yosemite for the day.

This weekend is defiantly a weekend to remember.

Started off Saturday with some pretty legit breakfast at Gresham followed by  tailgating before the Wisconsin vs Indiana game at Memorial Stadium on a beautiful 70 and bluebird day.  Alex and I left the game at 1 o’clock before be made our Journey to Louisville to see Dashboard Confessional. Finally hitting the road a 2:30, we hit 46 to catch 65 all the way down to Louisville.  Alex found a perfect restaurant to eat along the Ohio River called ‘Rivue’, atop the Galt House hotel on.  Eating dinner on of one of two rotating rooms, provided a gorgeous view of both Louisville and the Ohio river during the sunset.  It was a little awkward when first arrived being the first ones there, it felt as we were being judged playing on our iPhones and taking pics, ha!  We started off with a unique Baby Wedge Salad accompanied with hot out the oven bread follow by the Game Hen for Alex and the  Chicken Baccala for myself.  Skipped the dessert and went straight for the complimentary candy carts.

It was finally time to make our way to The Kentucky Center for Performing Arts, before the show began.  The Louisville Orchestra began to play promptly after the clock struck 8 for about an hour until it was intermission. After the brief break, Chris Carrabba came out and opened with ‘Best Deceptions’ from album ‘The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most’, followed by ‘Get Me Right’ with the rest of the band from the new album set to release on Tuesday,  ’Alter The Ending’.  This was definitely a once in a life time experience to watch Dashboard Confessional play with The Louisville Orchestra.  ”That. Just. Blew. My. Mind. Off.” @ChrisCarrabba tweeted shortly after the show.
