While my husband was playing guitar tonight, I snatched on of his music books to take a quick shot. I think this was a Metallica song, but can't remember since I'm delinquent in my postings. :-P

Party like a Rockstar! Tonight we hosted an annual party that is one of our favorite events - the rockstar party. The party actually started back from when I was a graduate student at Penn State. The event was to celebrate the good health of a grad student who had found out her cancer had gone into remission, and the students loved the party so much they continued doing it every year. By the time I had become a grad student, it had already been going on for years, and my husband and I liked it so much we started throwing our own back home in Maryland. The idea is that you dress up like your favorite rockstar and people can perform a song karaoke style. It is a ton of fun, and people really get into the performances as you can see here.

Today we went from Germany back into Austria, where we remain for another 4 days. Our first stop was Salzburg, best known for being the birthplace and family home of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The town itself was beautiful and the streets were lined with wrought-iron signs and elaborately decorated buildings. We had a number of amazing experiences in Salzburg, making it difficult to choose just one photo to represent our day there. In the end, I chose a photo from an evening dinner concert that we attended. Since both my husband and I enjoy classical music, we wanted to enjoy a concert in the hometown of Mozart. While it was probably a tourist trap type of place, the Mozart Dinner Concert evening was still full of talent, candelight, good food, and lots of fun. The dinner was broken into 3 musical acts, each followed by a food course serving dishes that would have been served in Mozart's time. Musical pieces from "The Marriage of Figaro", "Don Giovanni", and "The Magic Flute" were performed, and in our opinion one of the most talented individuals performing was the lead violinist shown in this photo. Definitely one of the most memorable evenings during our trip and a great way to fully experience Mozart in Salzburg.
