November 1, 2009: Our 1 Year Anniversary and The Mumlers, Bellini and The Black Heart Procession at The Bowery Ballroom

Since we went to Vegas for our wedding anniversary at the beginning of October, we decided keep our actual anniversary kind of low-key. We defrosted the top tier of our wedding cake and chowed down on that, which it surprised both of us how amazing it still tasted. We both expected crusty hard waxy cake grossness, but it pretty much tasted exactly as it did on our wedding day.

Four layers of saran wrap and three layers of tin foil was all it took to keep that cake fresh!

Mmmm wedding cake.

That evening, one of our favorite bands was playing, The Black Heart Procession. If you haven't checked them out, you should give them a listen because they're amazingly talented. The show was at The Bowery Ballroom, which is probably my favorite music venue in NYC. It's such a nice space.

The opening band, The Mumlers, were fantastic. It was the first time I'd heard them and I was very impressed.

The second band, Bellini, is a side project band from several other bands. They remind me a little bit of older Blonde Redhead.

Finally, headlining was The Black Heart Procession, and they were amazing, as always.

It was a good day to say the least. One year down, forever to go. Being married to Jesse is the best.
