Okay but maybe I'll still go...


Tonight The Avett Brothers will be playing in Sun Valley, Idaho and I, after an unsuccessful attempt to convince anyone to go with me, will not be in attendance.
And this pains me deep within my soul. Can you believe the unfairness of my life? Also? Just five days ago The Avett Brothers were playing at Red Rocks in Denver and for reasons that I can't quite define, that just feels like salt in the wound.

So tonight instead of dropping Z-cakes off at my mom's house and speeding up to Sun Valley by myself (which I have very seriously considered) I will be enjoying a pretend concert in my backyard. You are welcome to join me if you'd like. Unless you have tickets to the show in Sun Valley. Then I would recommend that you go to that instead. And also, how rude of you to not take me with you!

Ahem. There will be homemade quilts for sitting on our dandelion covered grass, popcorn, string lights, and my laptop blasting playlists and YouTube videos of The Brothers. Also there will be Coke. And not Diet Coke either...it is a concert after all.

And in case you can't make it to my pretend concert either...here is a little/giant playlist for you. Because I and love and you.

your backyard sounds like a great concert venue - and you won't have to wait in the parking lot for an hour afterwards just to get out! enjoy.

I recently discovered this band on Austin City Limits on PBS. I thought how the heck have I never heard of this awesome band?

I've never heard of them, apparently I'm missing out.

i seriously wish i didn't have so much going on this week. you know i'd be there with you if i could. i was dead serious about making that trip up. ps a self-declared backyard concert sounds great. i sure hope you really do it.

I think you should go. I've met some really fun people at concerts by myself and had a great time.

I heard they were coming to Red Rocks too late for tickets, but I wouldn't have gone anyway. Concerts hurt my ears. GET OFF MY LAWN.

OMG. Seriously, I am SO THERE with you - I live so far off the beaten path that the only acts we seem to be able to attract are guys like Meatloaf and Alice Cooper. No joke.

What I wouldn't give for some live Avett Brothers or Bon Iver...

...or Iron and Wine.

Yeah, I'm wearing my crabby pants that we're not going to their Portland show. Maybe I should wear my improv-concert-pants instead...

Good idea, M.
