Aerial Investigation: Becky Kendall & the Light Brigade

Becky Kendall

When I started this blog, I had a passing concern that I might, one day, have written about everything I love about Anchorage and be done. Granted, it hasn’t even been a year, but so far, there’s no end in sight.  Maybe I’m just more open, but it seems like every day I find things to love that I want to share with you. Today for instance: I was idly browsing Facebook and ran across this link: Becky Kendall and the Light Brigade.

Town Square’s Crystal Gallery of Ice

Ice sculpture

On Saturday, on the way to brunch with my parents and husband, it started to rain.  Just a little bit.  But it made us realize how warm it really was (I think it was around 46 degrees at height of thawing…so wrong for January!) and as we drove by town square filled with beautiful ice sculptures, we knew that we needed to return ASAP before they melted into dripping ice blobs.

Joey Fender & the 55's

Last night we dropped into Blues Central to catch a bit of Joey Fender and the 55’s performance – we’d heard that he was an incredible guitar player, plus I had a romantic vision of Blues Central in my mind: dark and smokey, with raspy blues filling every corner of your brain and the bar.

Gingerbread Village @ the Captain Cook Hotel

Gingerbread Village

Somehow my list of things I wanted to do during the holidays got away from me.  I missed Tuba Christmas, ran out of time to drive around listening to Christmas music and look at lights, and only drank one eggnog latte (fortunately, there will be another Christmas in only twelve months). I did, however, fit in a trip to the Captain Cook Hotel’s Gingerbread Village on New Year’s Day.
