Reflect's 4th Show!
Hello Jones Clan Ragers!
You've probably noticed it's been awhile since the last Reflect show. Fear not, because we're booked for three more shows between now and September. This time out we played with Vegetative State from Columbus and two bands from Winnipeg: Search & Destroy and Born Bad. Finally, I'm not the only one at a hardcore show who can keep up a coherent conversation about hockey.
Here's a photo of Matt, you'll remember that he plays guitars and writes all of the bone-crushing riffs. I'm at his right hand wearing a decidedly un-hardcore set of earplugs and my rock and roll jeans. Then, just to show you how much love goes around at our shows, there's our fearless leader Rob receiving a hug from one of our fearless fans. Look closely, over Rob's shoulder you can see the furnace, then a girl in a purple dress (Alyssa, Matt's girlfriend) and next to Alyssa you can see the jeans that Liz is wearing! She's very, very close to the action and super-supportive in her ear plugs!
Have a great weekend everybody, I don't think we'll have t-shirts or cd's by the Pittsburg trip, but who knows?

Jack
I just wanted to let you guys know that my little kitten Jack died last night. He had an upper respiratory infection that pretty much never got better. He didn't eat or drink at all yesterday so Dave and I took him to the vet. They gave us more medicine and hope that he would be okay. Well last night he was so weak, he couldn't even walk. Dave and I were with him when he died and I think its the worst thing I've ever experienced. I just keep remembering it.
Anyway, I'm sorry you guys couldn't meet him. He was the sweetest kitty. He cuddled me every night.
Take a shot of some Jack Daniels tonight in memory of my little Jack. I know Dave and I will.
Rest in peace my little kitty.

MOO
Last Tuesday Kim and I decided to take a walk in the park. The beach part of the Gunpowder State Park was closed to the public, but we could see lots of activity going on over there. For starters, there were a lot of old cars parked in the parking lot. Now I mean older than Bob's t-bird. We also noticed what looked like cranes and trailers. Now what could all of this equipment be?? Detective Kim said,"Hey, maybe they're shooting a movie?"
Being nosy, we ventured over towards the beach area but weresoon stopped by a security guard. Rats!! However, she was a somewhat friendly guard. I asked, Are they shooting a movie here?
Would it happen to be the one they're shooting around Baltimore with Renee Zellwiger?" Her reply was ,"Yes it is."
We felt very proud of ourselves as we continued our walk around the loop. We also noticed a bunch of signs with MOO on them around the park and on the main roads. Once again, Detective Kim looked up the website for movies and saw that Renee's latest movie in production is called My One and Only!! It is a romantic comedy taking place inthe 50's and also stars Chris Noth.
Now one other footnote to this little tale. Earlier in the week, I found out that my brother's band was going to have a small part in some movie being filmed in Balto. He had a costume fitting and was worried about whether or not he would have to cut off his ponytale. Guess what movie it is? Yep, it is MOO.

Scrabble
Yesterday at CURVES was "Scrabble Saturday". Glenda/owner found a beach Scrabble game at Wal-Mart. My, my....what a challenge as "we" were playing CURVES "rules". But, I behaved myself and ended up with a whopping 13 points after my workout. You only had 2 turns and not 7 letters to work with. When I left the board had "words" like...MC, TB and DC.

Yard Sale
We've been hoarding stuff all summer for the "big day." It's been prettttty quiet so far (can't you tell, that's why I'm posting photos of our junk on this blog.)
Hope ya'll like our new gate-keeper. We'll give you first pick on any leftovers but you've got to haul it away yourself.

Napa/SF!
Hi everyone! Nick and I were invited to a wedding in Napa Valley, so we decided to make a mini vacation of it! Our friends Tim and Becca decided to accompany us. I thought I'd share some pictures of our journey! :)
On day 1 we took a wine tour of 4 vineyards in Napa Valley. We saw a lot of grapes and vistas and tasted some excellent wine. (We also brought some back with us!) Here we are in Hegafen Winery: a green, organic vineyard.
On Day 2 Nick and I attended the wedding which overlooked the valley. Later we went into San Francisco for dinner and I found this street:
In Day 3 we visited Golden Gate Park, as well as Haight-Ashbury (the famous hippy district and home of Amoeba Music).
In the late afternoon we took a cruise under the Golden Gate bridge and past Alcatraz. It was quite windy!
On the fourth day we visited Muir Woods, home to the redwoods. Becca and I hugged a tree. The following picture doesn't even begin to portray and beauty and enormity of these trees. We also learned that they are quite different than most trees- they live in family groves and help each other grow. When one dies, other trees grow from its roots.
Finally, before we flew home, we introduced Nick to the Pacific Ocean!
