Here it is Eileen!

Finally! I am posting about the Jackie Greene concert that my aunt Eileen gave me tickets for!! It only happened like a month ago (maybe a little less than that but close enough!) Anyway, Eileen loves an artist named Jackie Green, he is sort of rock-blues-jazz-folk all mixed in to one; and she bought tickets for his concert but found she wasn't able to go. So in order to not waste tickets, she asked me if I wanted to go and bring some people. I said of course! I did not really know the artists but hey-- free tickets to a concert and making my aunt Eileen happy? I will DEFINITELY do that! So Kris, Travis and I all went up to Sacramento to a park called Fairytale Town to watch the show. The concert was a benefit to raise money for the park in order to keep it open and running for kids. 
So we got there an hour early, thinking we should be able to get a decent spot-- it was all lawn space so first come, first serve. We completely misjudged it however, and were waaaayyy in the back. We set up our chairs and got some drinks and relaxed anyway. It may have been good that we were all a little oblivious to who Jackie Greene was because if we weren't then the far away seats may have been a let down; this way we would all just chill and enjoy the music. So pretty much after that, the concert started and we had a good time listening and watching a bunch of old, drunk people attempt to dance. Good times! So here are some pictures and hopefully video (if I can get it to work) of our fun little trip to see Jacki Greene!

                  The stage...
          Some of the cute playhouses in the park
              Yeah we were kinda far...
     Passing the time with reading.
              Yay!

             Mhmmm
                 Better
               Travis melted....
         Birds
                  Lots of birds...
          Oh good, he regenerated
              Yay a quarter smile
           Sorry these pics of Jackie Green aren't great, my camera refused to focus on him


         This guy was adorable and danced the whole time!

       Teepee playhouse!
      Getting through the whirly gate with a bunch of chairs is kinda hard.

    Blocking me in...


So I just tried to upload the video and it said there were some errors so who knows. I will try again later or just put them on FB. I had a lot of fun so thank you Eileen for the tickets and next time, hopefully you will get to go! You will probably get better pictures anyway! Love you!

Okay, that is it. Have a nice day everyone!
