Weekend Out

We've done a lot of Bozeman things this weekend. Friday we went to one of the local coffee shops Wild Joe's and got to see some art and music. One of the guys I work with played violin with keyboard played by Jason Lytle (Lead singer for Grandaddy and Bozeman resident.) It was beautiful music and while they were playing someone was doing live manipulation of video footage which created a very surreal effect. Also a couple of people including the roommate of the guy I work with had paintings hung on the wall. We would have loved to have stayed till they were done playing music but the little man was way too tired. And he kept us up all night. But that's another story.
This morning we ate our breakfast at noon at the Nova Cafe. Jury's still out on the food, but we've been wanting to go there for a long time, and it's a unique Bozeman eatery. Then this evening before Kalina had to work we went downtown where the annual Christmas stroll was happening. They block off Main Street for the evening and let vendors set up shop in the street and all the business have like open house. We saw Alpacas and a live nativity with these tiny little goats and they had horse carriage rides and free hot chocolate and carols. The streets were crowded with people and dogs and strollers and tents. It was pretty cool but we couldn't stay long because it was pretty cold out and Kalina had to work at six. I think it will be even better next year when Apollo may realize how cool it is to see Alpaca on Main Street and go for horse drawn rides.
Between the Christmas Stroll and us now having a fully decorated and lit 2 foot tall tree with stockings and wrapped presents underneath I think I'm now officially in the mood for Christmas. Now if only I got a break several weeks long like I used too...
