Owen Gets a Brother

So its been awhile. I've been a homebody slug for a long while and now and poor Owen hasn't had any adventures. He was handmade and gifted to me.

But last Thursday Owen did get a brother. Yeaaah

This is Ignatius, Iggy for short.




And here is Iggy and Owen getting to know each other.



And hopefully I'll stop being such a stick in the mud and Owen and Iggy will start having lots of adventures.

Owen Rocks It with Fifth Density and Vivicide

Poor Owen, I'm so old and boring that he doesn't get out much. But last night he went to the debut and CD release show of my son Derek's band Fifth Density. My son Kevin's band Vivicide also played. Owen got a chance to jump up on stage and rock with both bands

Owen at Vivicide's CD Release Show

Owen and I are very proud of my son's band Vivicide. Last night was the release of their first CD and they had an awesome CD release show. Of course, Owen had to jump onstage and rock with the band.

This is a really cool step that one of the members made. You can't tell from the pic, but it is lit up.



Owen onstage bringing with the band, Owen's tie got a little backwards, just to much headbanging



Owen with my son, who does vocals and plays guitar with the band. They band had a little fun during the show and dressed up like Mortal Kombat, that why he has the remnants of make-up going on.

Owen Rocks Out With Vivicide

It was a road trip for Owen yesterday (4/27). His favorite band Vivicide did a show up in Prescott again, and Owen just had to go.

Here Owen is getting ready to head out. He can't believe that its 93 in Phoenix. He's looking forward to the cooler weather in Prescott



Just arrived in Prescott and Owen wanted to check out what was going on in the news.



Time to grab a bite to eat at Del Taco before heading to the venue



Owen checking out my Vivicide shirt

Just chillin' on Kevin's amp



Rockin with Vivicide as the show starts



Owen had a great time at the show and loved the cool weather up in Prescott

Owen Is Hibernating

Poor Owen he has been in hibernation for the last couple of months. But I think he may starting to wake up and get ready for some adventures, if I can hopefully stop being so boring and do things with him :)

Owen Goes To The Renaissance Festival

Owen had a very big day today. We went to the Renaissance Festival and had lots of fun.

Owen checking his ticket and getting ready to go.

Getting ready to watch the joust. Owen was very happy, the knight he was rooting for won.

Owen Goes To The Royal Rumble

It turns out that Owen is a WWE fan and this weekend, Sunday to be exact, Owen had a great time going to the Royal Rumble here in Phoenix and watching his favorite wrestler, The Rock.


Owen getting ready to go and making sure he has his ticket.




Getting a quick bite to eat at Five Guys before the event



At the Royal Rumble waiting for the show to start



Watching The Rock celebrate winning the championship. Owen is very happy The Rock won. You should have heard him cheering. He got really excited and blew a little bit of fire, but luckily there was no harm done.

Owen Snooping

A package arrived today from Canada from a friend of Owen's maker. So of course Owen had to jump right in and find out what was in the box. The cats felt the same way.

Happy New Year From Owen

Owen doesn't celebrate Christmas which is why he didn't have any Christmas adventures, but he does celebrate New Year's. Owen had a good time ringing in the new year.

Owen hopes everyone has a great 2013!
