This music video by NYU student Nyle was filmed in a single take, and the audio was recorded simultaneously. I like it a lot.

Club Crawl
Saturday night Jeff and I went out to Club Crawl, and I wanted to write about it on our blog. But I started thinking about the things I wanted to write, and they weren't things that would be overly interesting or funny to other people. But they are to me. And this made me think about why I contribute to this blog, which is different than why I think Jeff does. Jeff's posts usually have to do with opinions and current events, with some sentimental things strewn in. My posts are about events in our daily lives. While I like to share our lives with people, I mainly post so that I will remember those events. I'm sorry if I bore you, but here I go!
So, Saturday night John, Jeff and I went to Club Crawl in downtown Tucson. We got there about 8:30, while the lines were still doable. We eventually met up with my sister, Megan, and the newly engaged couple Sam and Brett. Shortly after we were joined by John's brother Andrew and his friend Bobby. I left to get John and Jeff a beer, and when I came back Andrew and Bobby were on stage dancing and singing with this very odd band.
John soon joined them. Needless to say, the boys were all pretty drunk by then. The singer was attempting to make love to the speaker, a girl was licking the guitarist's back, and Jeff was laughing like he was watching Kyle dance at my cousin's wedding. It was a fun time.
We made our way into the Rialto, where the Jons were playing. They were a lot of fun, and Jeff, John, Andrew and Bobby were cracking us up with their dancing. After the show, we took the dance party outside, where after John did some impromptu burpees for us...
...and some general debauchery...
...we had a little dance-off. I don't have any pictures of the dance-off, which is too bad for your sake. It was quite the event! We witnessed the shopping cart, the robot and a few other moves you just have to see to believe. But then Jeff breaks out with, wait for it, wait for it- a push up! You have to understand that he was totally and completely wasted by this point. So he does a push up, and some one else does, like 10 quick push ups. So Jeff says "oh yeah, watch this," and he goes to do a one-handed push up, but he essentially falls on his face. I'm laughing just writing this.
I wish I was a better writer, and that I could write as succinctly as Jeff does. But you're stuck with me! I know when I read this post 6 months from now, it will still bring a smile to my face- and that's what matters to me!

Elway's play date
Today Elway, my mom, and I met Elway's foster family. Why did Elway have a foster family you might ask, well here's a little background:
We adopted Elway from the humane society October 1, 2007. Puppies cannot be put in the shelter if they're under 8 weeks old, so people foster them until they're old enough (and well enough). So Elway lived with a foster family until he was old enough to be put up for adoption. Elway's foster family was a loving group of folks, consisting of a mother, her two teen daughters, and their dog Chloe. They have been fostering for 2 and half years and have fostered over 90 puppies. They deal with all the pee, the whining, the destruction- but of course they also get the cute cuddly moments (which for their sake I hope makes up for all the other stuff!). When we adopted Elway, we got a nice letter from this family, with pictures of Elway with his sister and brother, and a little bit about his history. We learned his name was Peanut, and he had a brother and sister: Butter and Jelly. They also included their email, in case we wanted digital copies of his puppy photos, advice, or anything else.
They also have a great website: http://www.freewebs.com/fosterpuppies/
Their website allows for them to see their foster puppies grow, but it also keeps us adoptive families connected to them. The 16 year-old-daughter maintains the website, and she also sends out emails about special dog events around Tucson. She's a great resource. Earlier this week we got an email from the foster family saying they were throwing a puppy party at a local dog park and they would love to see their old friends. My mom and I went to the reunion this morning, and it was so great to meet the people who do such fantastic work for the puppies of Tucson. The two daughters are so responsible, and are learning some life lessons through their fostering work.
This is a long post, I realize, but I am very touched by the work this family is doing. They obviously care about these animals and they go to great lengths to make sure the puppies succeed in their new homes.
