Fans

The band did a great job! The crowd was small but fun. B. ended up 'losing' a couple drum sticks during the performance and a lady at the front of the crowd grabbed them off the floor and screamed and held them up like they were a treasure of some kind. Just like a 'real' rock band groupie would. They sounded great, though really, really loud. And not a single word could be understood...bad sound system? Or just too loud in general...not sure. But it was still fun. We were home by 10:30ish and in by 11. B. went to get something to eat with his band mates and was home by 11:30 (I hope - I was asleep so who knows?).

They ended up playing at around 9:20 - B. and his details were a bit off. Thank goodness he texted us around 8:15 to say 'I think we're playing within an hour' or we could have missed it entirely.

My only regret is that they would have had a ton more people there had they played earlier. And we feel it's the right thing to do to buy all those tickets back from people who B. misinformed about the time - so we're out a little $$. This was an expensive concert.

But worth it's price in gold....to see the look on B.'s face as he's doing what he loves most in the world - worth any price to see that.

I don't know what his future holds.....I often wish I could 'see' that far ahead to know how it all turns out. But I think music will always be a part of his life - and if he can make a living doing that, great....
