Surprise!

Last night, I went over to CU to see some friends and we wound up going to see a play in Boulder. Prior to that, we went to Pearl Street, a local outdoor shopping mall where street performers play or juggle or stuff themselves into tiny boxes or what have you. Completely unexpectedly, we ran into our friends from high school, Marty and Dallas, who were performing. Marty was playing his violin (which he is AMAZING at and is pictured here) and Dallas was accompanying him on a variety of instruments like banging on a water jug and they both sang along. Another girl I didn't recognize was playing the tambourine with them for a while. After the play, I went on the roof the Sewell dorm with some friends and that same girl who played the tambourine was there. Those random chance encounters as well as other events of the evening created the theme of the night: life tends to take us by surprise.


I really love the angle of this photo. As a member of the yearbook staff, I had to take a lot of pictures of band and orchestra concerts so I got a lot of practice with what were good (and bad) angles with instruments.
