So, this weekend my sister Sara came to visit me at my humble home in good old Narberth. She arrived on Thursday night with my dad and the little guy (my adorable youngest brother, James) for some late night Quizzo (a local trivia game held at many Philly venues) and some tasty veggie burgers... we tied for first and lost in sudden-death overtime, in case you were wondering.
We spent a lovely Saturday downtown, indulging in the many sights and sounds (and tastes!) that Philadelphia has to offer. The day kicked off with a trip to the Museum of Art, which is always quite a treat. I love the Philly art museum. It's no Louvre, but I find the collection rather impressive and well-rounded... After the museum we strolled around and had a picnic lunch in Rittenhouse Square. It was bustling with life: sunbathers, musicians, children, pups. We had a nice time people-watching, after which we perused the cafes of South Street and headed to Baltimore Avenue for some amazing Indian food. I can't tell you how much I adore ethnic cuisine, or how good the Bhaintan Bhakra tasted in my mouth. Delicious.
The day ended with an amazing Incubus show at Festival Pier on Penn's Landing. Really, words cannot describe how happy I was to be there. Aside from a few assholes (sorry, it's true) in the crowd, the show was perfect. The band played awesome and the set list was great, but the highlight of my evening was a perfect view of the incredibly talented, incredibly sexy Mr. Brandon Boyd. His performance was stellar, and I can't help but imagine that he was singing directly at me (hey, a girl can dream). Tall, painfully handsome, intelligent, creative, talented, artistic, humanitarian... where do I find you?
