As Always, Dreaming Big

There’s no such thing as a silly dream. There are, however, silly bbm conversations:

Ke​lly Carroll: If I had to sing karaoke, I would want to do Lady Gaga, Telephone. But only the Beyonce part. Like I would be featured in someone else’s karaoke
Au​drey Marie: I like this
Au​drey Marie: I would let you be the Beyonce to my Gaga but I’m not much for singing karaoke
Au​drey Marie: Maybe Biz is your Karaoke soul mate
Au​drey Marie: Or Dan Ankeles
Ke​lly Carroll: Hahahahahahahha
Au​drey Marie: He likes Karaoke, but specifically Neil Diamond. I don’t know how he feels about Gaga.
Ke​lly Carroll: Um, last time we chatted his favorite song was Kei$ha, Blah, blah, blah
Ke​lly Carroll: I think he’d be game
Au​drey Marie: Bahahaha
Au​drey Marie: I love it
Au​drey Marie: The dynamic may be better with him as Beyonce
Au​drey Marie: But I understand–you are always Beyonce
Au​drey Marie: We should float this idea to him. I like it.
Ke​lly Carroll: I am Beyonce always

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings = Awe-Some

So when she invited me to the House of Blues last Thursday to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, I was on board right away, even though I’m lame and had never heard of them before. (“They’re the band on Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab,'” Colleen told me. Say no more.)

A quick iTunes check told me that the Dap Kings also play on Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good” and that Jones’ songs have been covered by the likes of Michael Buble. It also proved to me that they’re pretty freakin’ awesome.

The Freedom Trail: A Good Walk Never Spoiled

In the eight years I’ve lived in Boston (off and on), I’ve done the Freedom Trail about one bigillion times. Funnily enough, I’d never finished the damn thing. In all the times that I’ve started following that red line toward the State House, past the Granary Burying Ground, toward Old City Hall and past the Old South Meeting House, I’d never once made it across the Harbor, into Charlestown and up Bunker Hill. Until this past weekend.

With my best friend Sam coming for a visit, I was determined to finish the Freedom Trail if it killed us. And it almost did. Those 300 or so steps to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument nearly did me in, and my legs are still sore (translation: I need to work out more). But sitting at the top of Bunker Hill, with the breeze blowing and the sky a bluer blue than I’ve seen in quite some time, I knew that taking a Saturday to complete the Freedom Trail was definitely worth it.
