I had such a blast celebrating my birthday Friday night with a big bash at my apartment. On my actual birth-day, we decided to have a relaxing picnic in the park and check out St. Vincent at Celebrate Brooklyn. Since it was a free show, we hedged our bets and actually picnicked in line to ensure we could have a place to sit because a free outdoor concert in Brooklyn can reach capacity pretty quickly. It was fabulous to be with friends, eat yummy food (we packed watermelon, corn, cold cuts & cheese) and enjoy a great show on a perfect balmy evening. Luckily for me, my friend Jill was in town from Nashville, so she was able to come hang with us as well, along with my best friend Michelle and my birthday-hero Alex! I couldn’t have had a better birthday.
