Music at Noon

There are some really good things about working in downtown Sacramento. Now that the city is really trying to spruce up the place, there are a lot of cool, non-chain restaurants, fun stores, and now I find out.. music at noon.

I went to talk to one of my friends at work the other day(she's the only one, when I mentioned getting my motorcycle license that didn't absolutely freak out..instead she said she wanted to take the training class that the CHP offered with me. How cool is that?) and she told me about this classical guitarist, Brandon Yip, that was going to play for free at this church. Me being me, was a little worried about going to a church, but the concert sounded interesting. So yesterday at lunch, she and I bought burritos and walked to the Westminster church, about two minutes away from work. Here's the best part, eating in the church is encouraged if you do it quietly. Sweet.

When Brandon Yip came up, one of the first things he said was something about praising god in all he's gloriousness, or something to that effect. I looked at my co-worker with that look you all know so well. The one that say "What did you get me into?" But that was it. After that comment, he played beautiful music on his guitar and we found out later, he's preforming the world premier at the Mondavi Center in jan. I saw him for free! Then we discovered that music at noon is just located at the church, the church doesn't put it on or sponser it. Every Wednesday, there is some different music. This could be a really good break from work.

How fun to work in a place where so much is going on. Life is good.
