I love the art museum here in Minneapolis. It's not very big but it is so lovely and well put together. Last year I attended my first Art in Bloom and then my second this past weekend. It is an event in which artists and florists make arrangements inspired by pieces throughout the museum. They are so lovely and some of them smell amazing.
These are photos from this past Friday. I have so many I may have to do another post!

An event I love and have attended since it's inception is Goth Prom.
The idea is for you to have all the fun you didn't get to have in high school.
The themes through the years have varied such as; Catacombs, Steampunk, Night Circus, and Midnight Garden. It's a great excuse to buy a new and unique dress and have friends over for absinthe. Here's some pictures from past proms.
It's a very tongue-in-cheek affair full of 80's and 90's dance music and lots of silliness.
This event signals my start to spring here in the Twin Cities.
I've worked and attended this event before. It's quite fun and I am looking forward to it again this year! Happy Geeking!
What marks the start of Spring for me here in the Twin Cities is the annual Macy's Flower Show at the downtown Minneapolis store. Up on the 8th floor this pretty(and free event) is something I've been doing for about 5 years now. Here are some pictures from last year. I will be going to this year's show this week so, I'll have pictures of that soon as well. Plus, I have a new camera which I am very excited to use!
I was lucky enough to get tickets to the sold out Florence and the Machine show. I am completely in love with this woman and music. The concert was amazing and surreal, taking place outdoors in the Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater. Set against a back drop of trees and water, the summer warmth created a mist that surrounded the show all evening. Florence Welch brough music back to life for me. Her vocals are astounding, sounding better live than all the studio stardust producers can pour into an album. Listen to Florence and the Machine and fall in dark, heady love.
I get to see her again in a month and I am beside myself with excitement.
