I'll pause for a moment for you to stop rolling your eyes...
The reason my weeks go by fast is that I only spend around 27-30 hours a week being productive. I go to my internship Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday for 6 hours or so and only have class Monday and Tuesday night. So ALL day Tuesday and Friday I do nothing. I know that after graduation (December 11th, mark your calendar) I will have to re-join the real world and work 40+ hours a week but for right now I am taking advantage of being a student and feel no remorse. Well, after reading Katie's post about her daily routine that begins at 4:45am I felt a tad guilty and bum-ish. Ehhhhh, it passed.
Weekend Recap:
Todd and I went to The Avett Brothers concert at The BR River Center. It was AHHHH-MAZING. I've been to some really fun concerts before (The Killers, Reba/Kelly), but this one was simply awesome. Todd has been a fan for a while and made me a mixed CD a few weeks ago so I would know a handful of songs at the concert. Well, I didn't know but roughly 30% of the songs they played but they were THAT good that it didn't matter if I could sing along or not. It was a small crowd and we sat on the fourth row and were extremely close to the stage. The energy was incredible and when they would slow the tempo you could hear a pin drop. Dead silence. Completely hypnotic. They opened with my favorite song on the mixed CD, The Weight of Lies, so from the very beginning I was happy. Not to mention the double jack and cokes we were drinking.
I will post a few youtube videos, some are from the BR concert that we were at, and try to spread the word about the talented Avett Brothers. They are just bluegrass-banjo-playing-indie-under-the-radar-cool.
While watching them on youtube, I noticed a familiar shaped head:
It's TODD! I started laughing uncontrollably when I saw this! Poor thing, he hates standing in front of people because he is 6'4 and feels like he is blocking other people's view and here he is on the fourth row. He had a blast and would have stood on the 1st row if given the choice. People behind him can just move it.
Now, here are those videos I have been blabbing about. Of course I don't expect anyone to watch ALL of them. I just wanted to post a few of them for those that are interested in hearing good music.
This is the one they performed on Letterman last week:
One of Todd's favorites:
I heard this one for the first time at the concert. I spent the entire song trying to hold back tears and then spent the next song wiping them away. Apparently this song hit close to home.
I think this song really captures how talented they are. Oh the harmony.
This is the same song as the last video, just close up and raw. Same singer, different hair.
They rocked my heart and soul.
