Now that was a fun weekend.
Thursday, Courtney and Edwin and Harry and Heather all came up and stayed with us so that they wouldn't have to drive straight through from Mobile to Atlanta. We had dinner and an intense game of dominoes and even a little Rock Band action before we hit the sack.
Friday morning we loaded up into Courtney's Xtera, which was fun with six people and met with Drew and Evan in Greenville. Drew and Evan are also from Mobile but they couldn't come up Thursday night. So we split up cars in Greenville, stopped for lunch in Auburn and then got to Edwin's Aunt Kay's house about 4:30 Atlanta time. Aunt Kay fixed an awesome dinner and after dinner it was time to head to the concert.
Traffic was terrible. I'm not sure how long it took us to make what should have been a 25 minute drive, but it was somewhere around 2 hours, maybe more. We got inside the amphitheater about halfway through Paramore's set. We got to hear all their big songs except one though, so it wasn't to bad. We also managed to get a good spot on the lawn about dead center of the stage and about as far in the front as you could get.
No Doubt was pretty incredible. I've never just been a huge fan of theirs and we really just went because the tickets were cheap and we thought it'd be fun to go on a road trip with all of our Mobile friends. I've always liked No Doubt, but I wasn't really expecting to enjoy the show as much as I did, but they were really awesome. They ran through a bit of a tour de force of all their singles as well as other songs off all of their albums. They didn't play anything new and they didn't touch any of Gwen Stefani's solo stuff.
So the show was awesome and it didn't take us too long to get back to Aunt Kay's. We stayed up and goofed all for a little while and then all went to bed. I'm out of time today and I want to talk about Saturday in a little more detail anyway, so I'm going to stop here for today.
Have a good Monday.
