Taking Back Sunday

Last week we had a lot of fun as Erika’s mom came up to watch the kids for a couple of nights. She stayed with us which allowed us to get out with some friends.

On Thursday night, we were invited to meet up with one of Erika’s old time friends, @NicciReyes at the House of Blues to see Taking Back Sunday. She is the wife of Eddie Reyes who is a guitarist in the band. They left us VIP access passes at will call. It was a really great night. Erika and Nicole were finally able to see eachother for the first time in years and we had a lot of fun catching up with the Karis’s. TBS and Anberlin sounded pretty good live as they were kicking off their tour in downtown Cleveland.

And yes, I did have some of their music since back in 2004 with “This Photograph is Proof”.

We went to the after party at Mecury Lounge where we hung out with the band, which was pretty cool, and we were trying to talk Eddie and Nicole into moving to Cleveland. They would be great neighbors and have two kids around our children’s ages. It was pretty funny seeing Erika, Nicci and Adam all looking at baby/kids pictures while we were having the rock and roll evening.

We stayed out pretty late and it was a weeknight. We paid for it the next day. There is a reason, besides the whole musical ability thing, that we are not rockstars. But we did have a great night and look forward to hanging out with Nicci and Eddie again. More photos.
