Oregon Symphony, Disney in Concert...

I won tickets through work to see this performance.  The kiddo and I went down early to check out the Christmas decorations around downtown Portland.  It was a clear, very, VERY chilly day, but we had FUN!!!

Pirates of Penzance...

I had the opportunity to volunteer with GPTW (Great Place To Work) for the Intel only performance of Pirates of Penzance, presented by the Portland Opera at Keller Auditorium.

Most of the volunteers met before hand at Morton's Steakhouse for appitizers/drinks and then we spent 2 hours manning the ticket check-in/crowd control areas.  It was 85+ tonight, so we weren't quite prepared for sitting out front facing west, but we had a great time!

Since this was an Intel only performance, the Portland Opera did something pretty awesome and incorporated quite a few geeky/Intel-isms into the performance, including the Intel chime!

Thankful to work for such a great company and have awesome perks like this!

Winterhawks...

I won four, rink-side tickets to the Winterhawks game tonight at the Rose Garden.  Victor wasn't up to going, so I asked Rachel if she and Matthew wanted to go.  

Unfortunately the Hawks lost...it was a sad game.  But the kiddos, Rachel and I had a blast!  My friend Christi captured this of us on the jumbo tron!  Always FUN!

Portland Thorn's home opener...

A last minutes email right before I left work on Friday @11am got Charlie and I free tickets to the first ever Portland Thorn's (women's soccer) game! There were over 16,000 fans and it was a great game against Seattle! Victor works on Sundays, so it was just the kiddo and I and we had a blast!

Lesley, Charlie and Juliana before the game.
