She & Him and Chicken Hearts

On Thursday, Pioneer Park hosted it's final Twilight Concert Series concert, She & Him. I found out a few months ago that Zooey Deschanel was coming and got so excited. The best part... it was free!

{Amy, me, Melissa}

{It was really crowded and hot, and we couldn't see her very well. I had to put my arms above my head to take this picture.}

{She was great, but we left early because Amy got beer poured on her foot and we couldn't breathe from all the people smoking behind us.}

{I loved her dress.}

{On the way back to the Gateway, we found a huge statue of Petunia the pig.}

It was around 9:30 and we were starving, so we went to Tucanos. It was absolutely fantastic. It's a different way of ordering food, but very fun. When you go, make sure to get the Abacaxi (grilled pineapple), mashed potatoes, and Brazilian lemonade. The picture above shows us getting ready to eat a chicken heart. Amy's friend Garrett took the picture then videoed us eating the heart. It was disgusting. We made faces and tried to swallow it down, but it was just too tough. Amy couldn't take it any longer and eventually threw everything up on her plate. (It's a great video). We couldn't stop laughing, but quickly decided to clean up before we got kicked out. It was late, and the restaurant had closed. No one was there, so on our way out the manager gave us free ice cream! It was so nice of him, but I don't know how on earth I ate it. I was about to burst because of all the food I ate. It definitely made for some great memories.

In case you want to hear some of She & Him's music, I put some of their songs randomly throughout my playlist. My personal favorite is, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here." Enjoy!
