I am so excited to say that I was able to cross off something from my summer check list (check it out here)!
Last night I saw live music. Technically, I could have checked it off a week ago, but I didn't take any pictures that night and last night was slightly more exciting because...
I planned the concert!
Some friends of mine and my family's* have a small outdoor venue (check it out here) where they like to put on shows. Earlier this year they asked if I was interested in being involved, and last night was my first show. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but everyone was very kind about my lack of expertise, and several were very helpful.
This is Michael/Old Souls - listen here.
It was somewhat exciting to be planning a show, but honestly, for the most part I just felt foolish - like the whole thing was some silly joke and everyone was just letting me have my fun. Don't get me wrong - no one treated me like that at all. I felt that way because I had no idea what I was doing. I feel much better now that it's over and I can have a better idea of what to do for the next show.
In the end, though, the concert was a ton of fun. The musicians were all amazing and I got to hear some great Bob Dylan songs, and an amazing cover of The Sound of Silence. I highly recommend you listen to Michael and John - two of the musicians from last night (also Wendy's brothers' names). The other two don't have their music online - yet.
Anyway, I'll leave you with my favorite photo from the night :)
Love,
Scout
