3 CONCERTS IN 1 WEEK!









The first was in San Diego with Dede. We saw Rhett Miller.
We had pretty good seats and enjoyed the show. We stuck around a little bit afterwards to see if he would come out but had a bit of a drive to get back to the bungalow so we didn't get to meet him.





The second was in Salt Lake with Manda. We saw Colbie Caillat at "In The Venue." It was pretty cold standing in line outside in the snow waiting to get in. Once we got in, the show was sold out and packed! There were so many people and it was a bit uncomfortable but still a lot of fun. We even liked the opening bands' music.
The third concert was by far my favorite! We saw Sara Bareilles at The Velour in Provo. It was a small venue and learning from the night before, we showed up 2 hours early and got in line. We brought a blanket to sit on and bought some hot chocolate. Manda, Colleen, Dede and I all went. Once the doors opened a half hour before the event we were cold and ready to be inside. Because we had been so early we got a great place to stand for the concert. We were along a wall on the side of the stage with only 1 row of people in front of us and had some breathing room. It was also the hallway to back stage so we saw them come out before anyone else. This was the first time Sara had been a headliner at a concert and was so excited to have such a big crowd that could sing along to her songs with her! The guy that opened for her is part of her band and does some stuff on his own as well. His name is Javier Dunn and is really good. He asked if anyone had a request and was surprised when Manda and I gave him the name of one of his songs! (We saw him in Aspen back in September when he played with Sara Bareilles). The song we asked for was the last one he played and said it was for us and pointed to us since we were the only ones in the room that knew his songs! The concert was amazing and we stuck around long enough to get a picture with Javier and with Sara! She even noticed I was wearing one of her shirts!

Sounds like fun! You should add music to your blog with some their songs since I'm totally not with and don't even know what they sing.
