Music and summer are two of my favorite things and when combined lovely things happen. You have tunes, flip flops, good people and, most of the time, super chill surroundings. Getting to take in two concerts in 48 hours proved my theory to be nothing short of flawless.
I love Irish Trad music. Scoring tickets to see the Dropkick Murphys was great and the greatness was reinforced with it being held at the Stone Pony and I was accompanied by one of my oldest and raddest (true word, look it up) friends of all times. The music was great, but Carrie and I realized we were old when the following occurred: 1) one of the only people not clad in black 2) when we were taking pictures of the 'crazy people' in the mosh pit instead of being part of the chaos 3) feeling the need for an early departure after the second inebriated large man fell onto us after a failed attempt to crowd surf. I'm thinking the next show we will stand about twenty feet further from the stage as to avoid a brawl or a flesh wound. Tis but a scratch!
So we transitioned from Stone Pony madness to VIP box seats for John Mayer and Phil Phillips. We were very gratefully hooked up with seats that I could very easily get used to. That includes getting used to the VIP lounge with their own popcorn machine, appetizers and area of zen. It was a little different from previous experiences squished with a million other people on the lawn (very ok when pertaining to either Dave Matthews or Jimmy Buffet) hoping to not have to wait 43 minutes in line to use the restroom. It may not happen again, but we embraced the gold star treatment and made sure pics were taken in abundance.
Musica y verano = perfecto : )
