My friend Jess from work was supposed to go, but she forgot to buy tickets and he was sold out. So, she and her husband decided they would go try to scalp them last night before the concert. I assumed Jess would get an easy sympathy score of tickets because she is eight months pregnant and super cute, yet to our dismay when Chris and I scurried there after the baseball game, Jess and her husband were still standing outside ticketless.
Chris and I decided to go in and begin our party, so we left them standing by a tree looking around for tickets. I had never been to this venue before. It is this awesome place that used to be an actual theater. The coziness and atmosphere were incredible.
Chris and I began relaxing and just waiting for the show. Must to our surprise, I received a text from Jess, long after I thought she had given up, and she got tickets and was coming in! What a trooper.The opening act was mediocre and will spur many future jokes about Meiko, the singer who opened. Hutchinson did not disappoint. He sounded just as good as CD, if not better. He was also just as geeky in person as he looks in his video, and I loved him for it. We laughed watching these three older (60 somethings) women in front of us totally jamming to the music. I made Jess promise to still be going to concerts with me when we are 60. We also reminisced about college days while stuck in a puddle of beer on the floor.
Truly, it was a wonderful way to start the summer. Now, I just need a nap.
