day 712 | september 20, 2014 | OOOM Pop-Up

My beautiful date!

Roo and I were supposed to catch her first concert -- except the show was cancelled. Still riding the high of Laylapalooza, I was looking for an opportunity to bring Roo to a live performance. When we found out the next OOOM session fit right into our packed calendar, we went straight for it. As we were walking to the National Design Center, Roo was internalizing how she felt when she had to perform for the very first time. "I just pretend it's just you and me, mommy." Honored to be in her mind's safety circle. 

The rooftop was packed with talent. From first time performers to more seasoned OOOMers. Love love love. Roo and I are both inspired by the courage to perform, the intricate guitar play, beautiful voices, and words from songwriter originals. Sharing some of our favorites here (scroll through the images, and click through the links)...

Plenty of ear-candy, and perhaps with a little more exposure, Roo will take the chance to walk up behind that microphone...
