She was Lego Wonder Woman, which made it even more special. We saw Lego Waldo, too. <\/p>\n<p>Then we walked over to the Moda Center to watch the Black Keys. And it did not rain on us. <\/p>\n<p>There was excellent people watching before the show. We saw several more Waldos. Bert and Ernie. The Travelocity gnome. Several sexy whatevers. A banana. Maleficent. A lot of kitties. The Blues Brothers. Clark Kent sat right in front of us. <\/p>\n<p>The show was great. I didn&#8217;t realize I knew that many Black Keys tunes! Thanks to Tyler and Alex for getting the tickets and inviting me. <\/p>\n<p>After the show, walked back to NW to the car and saw a lot more interesting people. The Cat in the Hat accompanied by Thing1 and Thing2, several brides, a lion, a cow with an astronaut. I was sad I hadn&#8217;t done a costume. I love dressing up. Next year&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I was thankful for such warm, relatively dry weather. It was perfect for walking. It&#8217;s such a nice walk over the river..and I couldn&#8217;t have asked for better company. <\/p>\n<p>Saturday, we move the group to Eugene for Oregon vs Stanford. For more fun and hijinks. <\/p>\n<p>Go Duckies!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/michellejolin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_4857.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/michellejolin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_4857.jpg?w=660&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_4857.JPG\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/michellejolin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_4859.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/michellejolin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_4859.jpg?w=660&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_4859.JPG\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a very fun night with Tyler, Alex and Paddy.
