About once every 12 months, Kasey and I manage to think ahead and coordinate a double date with Aaron and Jimmie. And I say it that way, because the men would probably argue that they're on a date while Kasey and I spend the evening talking away to each other! We made a conscious effort to not forget about them and had a lot of fun at the Rachel Platten concert on Saturday night.
It was pretty hot and humid outside, but temps cooled off and a hopeful little breeze picked up right before the show began. We were totally comfortable in the shaded seats. Can't beat a $10 concert! It was a good night with good people.
I think my favorite part of the whole night was when Rachel said, "ok, so they told me to ask you guys to..to 'call the..hogs?' And just like that, the amp lit up with a legit Woo Pig Sooie razorback hog call. She was so delighted she ran to the back of the stage and found a phone and has us do it again so she puts post it on Instagram. When in Arkansas! We were seated just out of this still shot on the left, about 20 rows back.
She performed old stuff, new stuff, a few favorites (1,000 ships, fight song), and a couple really well done cover songs. Her backup girl is totally amazing...I felt bad that she will only be known as "the super talented girl from Rachel Platten's band" and not as a credited musician publishing records under her own name/label. But whether it's for the love of music, fame, or income, she shredded it on the guitar, sang vocals, and played keyboard. Good night, fun memories!
