You will only see this on blogspot as these photos will not be appearing on facebook. Bella Vita, the band of Nathan and our friend Matt, had their EP release show on Saturday night. They decided to make it a house show at Matt's apartment. It seemed like a great idea, Matt lives alone in a townhouse, the ideal situation for a house show. The problem? Matt is not the most organized of individuals. So Friday afternoon Nathan, Brady, Cameron, and myself forced a deep clean of Matt's apartment to make it presentable for Saturday night. Here are the before and afters:

this holiday season....

Sorry it has been so long. I've been holding out to post the New York video but I got new editing software and there is a LOT of footage so it will probably take awhile... I'll just have to post it later! So this is what my holiday season consisted of...

Bella Vita had a show at the Whiskey in downtown Wilmington:

pre turkey day

my friends sara, alicia, and hodges hosted their third pre-turkey day celebration this year and it was the biggest one yet with a turnout of almost 50 people. it was pretty much the best way to have a real thanksgiving meal this year that i could possibly think of.

The Food:

(not included in these pictures was the drinks OR the desserts. clearly that was a LOT of food)

Getting the food:

everyone kind of stood around awkwardly not wanting to be the first one in line so i gladly volunteered. thus i was able to get some good pictures of people getting their food

Eating the food:

there were people EVERYWHERE eating in sara and alicia's place and there wasn't even enough room for everyone so some people went to matt stevenson's place, which is in the same townhouse complex

Hanging out, after eating the food:

Felts: "Nathan come sing karaoke with me!"

Nathan: "ehhh we'll see."

Felts: "I have parents, I know that means no"
