I had my birthday weekend in Denver Colorado.
And I saw him.
Finally. After 10 years of being completely consumed in his music. I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Conor Oberst, and the Bright Eyes band.
Anyone I talk to has no idea who he or Bright Eyes actually are.
Now just pretend I'm talking about your favorite musician or song. The one that gets your heart pumping. The one that explains your life so perfectly. The one that was always there in the silence of your room.
Conor Oberst has been with me through break ups, break downs, and complete let downs.
He has also been there during my favorite moments with my favorite people.
Dead of winter and riding in a car in the middle of my two best friends at 3 in the morning. Summer drives with all the windows down and my children in the back seat trying to sing along. They know it makes me happy.
I sat in the balcony of the Fillmore with a beer and my husband next to me. As soon as Conor came out I started my excitement slapping that I do. Telling my husband to look, there he is! As if he could miss it.
It was mesmerizing. Breathtaking. And beautiful.
He writes, and speaks to the heart in ways I could only dream of.
He is perfection.
Thank you Mr. Oberst for the best birthday I could ever ask for.

Oh I love fate.
I was adding a list of inspiration links to the side of my blog last night. I of course had to add the lovely Conor Oberst. As he and his music have been a huge part of my twenty something life. HUGE. Well had I not been doing that I would have never noticed that they are currently on tour and they will be in Denver on the weekend of my birthday. How perfect is that?!? Not only that but it was in presale mode and I stumbled upon the password to gain access. Then to top it off the husband bought me tickets. I am so excited. I feel like I'm gushing like a teenage girl. Okay.
Need some inspiration, check out my two links that I have up. More to come. You know, someday. When I finish this damn page!
