Hannibal Buress, Karen Kilgariff, and Doug Benson did a set today that was very fun. In light of his recent movies, Marijuana-Logues and Super High Me, I was worried his material would be too pot focused. But then, I remember where I first came to love Doug Benson. And that was VH1 BEST WEEK EVER. I think of all that tivo gave me, I miss that show the most :). The guy who opened for them also has appeared on best week ever and very funny.
Fun show, good crowd. Love that venue! Doug was out to take photos with people, we got a good one of me kissing him on the cheek.
Note to self: see more stand up comedy.
Note to self: don't put on such a pained expression when kissing someone for a photo.
It turns out that recent parenting trends have made the population of "tweens" and high-schoolers attend such shows grow over the last few years. This is not just a me growing old perception (even though my energy level after a day like today is significantly lower than 10 years ago). I really think that more kids are allowed to go to bumbershoot than were 5-10 years ago. They style of the Death Cab for Cutie music of course probably attracts a lot more younger audience. Anyway, there were some crazy high-schooler groups around us. This included a 13-14 year old kid in full footy fleece pajamas slow dancing with his hipster-girlfriend and the jock/cheerleader couple whose existence required they be touching at least 50% of the other person's body at all times. There was a lot of teenage making out everywhere. But the concert was still great - the sound system was set up remarkably well and I got introduced to their new album at this concert. One song in particular, "I will possess your heart" really stood out. It was great to hear a huge crowd sing along with the favorites of the 2005 album, too.
Note to self: once again, be thankful you're no longer a high-schooler.
And, still, I don't know why parents bring their kids to concert festivals. I mean, they're cute....but get a babysitter and take them to the zoo a different day.
Note to self: continue not to have children.
Bummed I didn't catch the flobot show, as it was full.
So. sleepy.
Note to self: go to bed.
