a-ha

Last weekend Kami and I went to L.A. to see a-ha. They haven't played in the states for over 25 years but are huge in Europe. I always liked their music so wanted to see them in their farewell tour. Here are some picts from the concert.

They played at the Nokia Theater next to the Staples Center



We had decent seats in the lower balcony







Here is a video of their opening song & intro. I didn't take this... someone with a better seat did and posted it on youtube.



and they finished with "take on me" as their encore finale

Phoenix Con't

The rest of our trip was spent in Phoenix. We spent a day at the Zoo.




Soph loved the Carousel

We went out to see to some Petroglyphs.
