Nerds and Gorillas

Ardon and I just celebrated three years of being an item. Time flies when you're having fun. I can still remember the night we met. It's such a classy story, really. It was around 1:30am and I was pretty wasted coming out of Tia Lou's with my best friend Stephanie. We were walking toward the hotdog stand when we heard somebody yelling "Stephanie!" from across the street. Next thing I remember, this funny looking guy with a big afro and glasses ran up to us. Stephanie introduced us, and in typical Ardon and Cat fashion, our first words to each other were spoken in a Vietnamese accent. I had him at "What doing?" Three years later, here we are... still conversing in Vietnamese accents.

If there's one thing besides me that Ardon LOVES, it's music. Being with him, I've learned so much about music--making music, local music, the music business, producing, scratching, and so much more. I can see why he loves it so much, and we enjoy going to shows together, whether big or small. I have also learned to love it all. Music is music and it's all good.

So in celebration of our splendid three years together, we had a two-day celebration. Our actual anniversary date fell on a Monday, so after work we had a lovely dinner at List in Belltown. The following night we went to the Gorillaz show, and opening up for them was N.E.R.D. It was so dope. (I've also learned to say dope after three years.) We really enjoyed the show. Ardon, especially, was giddy like a little boy throughout the Gorillaz set. It was a wonderful celebration with a wonderful dude after three wonderful years. Cheers to many more!

The Gorillaz set up was awesome. Definitely cool to watch.
