I got to see the Avett Brothers!!
It was wonderful to spend the evening with The Hubby. We went out to eat and then decided to go to the concert.
The decision to attend wasn't easy. The weather here has been really bad with storms popping up with dangerous winds and lightning. Lightning still scares the crap out of me, so the thought of standing in a crowded field during a storm really had me on edge. My desire to see the band won and when it looked like the storms would be farther away, we got tickets. This was even after the opening act had finished playing.
It did rain a little during the show and I kept my eyes on the clouds, but managed to remain calm and greatly enjoyed the music. We danced and sang and didn't even get phased when the girl next to me puked beer all over the ground. Been there, done that, grown up in spite of it.
I'm hoping to regain my hearing and the use of my left knee before the weekend is over. We may be getting older, but we can still party on!!
Ooooohhhh! That looks like it was SO much fun! And kudos for not puking. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was a much needed night of pure fun - something I hadn't had in quite some time!! We can usually hear some of the concerts from our back deck, but it is much better to be there.
DeleteSounds like a great time, and I'm glad to hear that you're still capable of "partying on."
ReplyDeleteI still got it! It was such an excellent night - even facing my fear of storms.
Deleteso glad I'm over the drinking til I puke phase. there are some perks to getting older.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! That not puking and still being able to remember the concert the next day is such a better way to spend the time.
Deleteyou're such a party animal!
ReplyDeleteWhoda thunk?!?
DeleteIT was a great splurge and much needed.
I missed my chance to see them when they came here a couple weeks ago, which is terrible not just because of that, but because City and Colour, my favorite artist of all time, was opening for them. Still kicking myself over that one.
ReplyDeletePriorities, Man! C'mon!
DeleteOh yay! I'm so glad you went to the concert and had such a blast. I'm even happier that you didn't end up stuck in a storm!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun! The storms at night here have been pretty intense at times and this weekend is the anniversary of our fire storm, so we are on edge. I could not have handled being in a field during a storm.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the concert in spite of the weather. I'm scared of lightning, too, so I understand your trepidation.
ReplyDeleteI wish I wasn't afraid anymore. It's just gonna take time. The concert took my mind off of it for the most part. Thanks for visiting!!
DeleteAlthough I've never heard of the band, I'm super glad you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They aren't your average death metal band...it was a kick-ass good time!
DeleteSounds like you still got! I think I was the oldest person at the last concert I went to. I felt a little out of place. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteWe weren't the oldest but the kids around me were young enough to be my children! Course, my kids didn't want to go with us, so they missed out!
DeleteOh, lucky you! I love the Avett Brothers!
ReplyDeletePearl
I am half deaf from concerts in my youth!
ReplyDeleteWhat?
SWEET SWEET SWEET! We drove right in to a terrible lightening storm this weekend... it was SO SCARY getting out of the car to race to the house. I am WITH you on that!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I have gotten to the point that I can't deal with crowds, but I still love music! We went to see Prince in concert a couple of years ago and he's amazing!
