every time music plays, i smile and i cant feel anything


sully and i went to the concert last night and, as always, adam duritz & co. put on an amazing show. the skies stayed clear, so we moved back and forth between our indoor seats and a blanket on the lawn :) they started out the night with a tribute to van morisson, covering caravan (nah nah nahnah) and they continued to play a great set list throughout the night, jumping from oldies like anna begins, to some of my favorites like holiday in spain. they even slipped in a few bob dylan and beatles covers towards the end, during verses of rain king... they really mixed it up, coming back slowly after intermission with a long december, but picking it up when they were joined on stage by augustana and about a dozen other random people (i'm pretty sure adam duritz girlfriend- actress Emmy Rossum- was there, too) for a unique collaboration of hangin' around.

and it was actually a relatively small crowd (maybe because it was a monday night?) so we were able to meet up with amanda & kristin, which has become sort of a tradition for the three of us. i think we've seen 4 or 5 of their concerts together :) i dont get to see them often, so it was nice to spend time with them and their family, listen to some sweet music and dance like hippies with one another :) overall, one of the best concerts i've ever been to- thank you sully!!

i need a big love. i need a raincoat.

countdown to counting crows concert: nine hours!

sully surprised me with tickets a few weeks ago because she is a super awesome friend :) for the last five years, i've gone to every one of their shows at spac. typically i buy lawn seats and share a jumbo blanket with friends (aka amanda and kristin), but sully got us indoor seats this year which is great because it's supposed to rain! (i would have stood in the rain to listen to them anyways, but this way is better...)

so i've added some of my favorites to my mixtape and today's playlist is dedicated to the counting crows.
