Musical Journey

Three bands, six cities and one train, that's the magic behind "The Big Easy Express."  LA natives Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, Nashville group Old Crow Medicine Show and London lads Mumford and Sons are on board a train from Oakland to New Orleans, some might call it a "tour of dreams."  Stopping in six cities along the railroad to preform for fans from both sides of the track.  The band members are the only ones on board the train jamming the entire trip one band member even says "Its like we left all our baggage behind and just brought our instruments."

Back into the magic...

"All those little things make us kindred spirits..."

"We are the only one's on this train, we got it all"

"We have this beam of light shooting down on this train, traveling across the country"

On March 17th in Austin, TX at the SXSW, the world premiere of Big Easy Express, followed by a Q&A, as well as a special acoustic set.  I would do anything to be there.  Can't wait to see this wonderful documentary.

Painting with Sound

Umm how freaking amazing are these photographs of paint on a speaker!

 German photographer, Martin Klimas, creates these images by putting different colors of paint on top of a speaker, and turning the volume up! The vibration shoots the paint up, creating these amazing patterns and forms.

Check out the rest of Martin's work here.

Disco Fever

I don't know what sparked my new obsession because I have never even seen Saturday Night Fever, but I am really jazzin' on Disco Balls this week.  Incorporating them in your decor just gives the perfect glam to any room.

February Book Club

 Our second Book Club was a success! We read Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling, writer, producer, and actor from "The Office". It is a hilarious trip through Kaling's life, as well as her opinions about friends, guys, fashion, relationship, and Hollywood.  There were so many funny parts that I couldn't wait to chat about with my friends, and I found out they all came with a slew of Mindy's thoughts they wanted to discuss as well.

We had some great apps and wine again, and we all agreed we should jump on the bandwagon, and our next book will be Hunger Games, so we can finish just in time for the movie. I am excited to see what all the hype is about.

Here is the trailer for the movie if you haven't seen it yet.

Meatball Crescent Sliders

We were looking for a last minute appetizer for Book Club last week, and came across this version of meatball sliders. We already had half of the ingredients so it was perfect, and they were delicious!

Ingredients*

1 bag of frozen meatballs (32 meatballs)

1 jar of pasta sauce

2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls

11 slices of mozzerella cheese

* I halved the recipe to cater to a smaller group.

Preat oven to 375 degrees.

Simmer meatballs and sauce over low heat until warmed though, about 5-10 minutes.

Separate the crescent rolls into traingles, and cut each one in half. (you should have 16 triangles from each can.)

Cut the mozzarella slices into thirds. Put a third of each slice on each crescent roll.

Put a meatball and a little sauce on top of each crescent roll, and fold in the corners to roll up as best as you can. (You might have to stetch the corners out a little bit, but don't worry about making them look perfect, they will puff up a little while baking).

Bake at 375 for for 15-18 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted.

Serve and enjoy!
