Gabe Playing the Harmonica


He's dancing too, mostly tapping his foot, but for the first time playing it, it's pretty good, huh?

Living Traditions

Living Traditions Festival last night! It was pretty cool. We got there after 6:00, and the featured artists started playing at 7:00. First, they had this cool brass band from Luisiana (Rebirth Brass Band). During their show, some girls started fighting right next to us. First, Curly Hair Girl grabbed Very Fat Girl's hair, and some guy grabbed Curly Hair Girl and carried her away. Very Fat Girl then stuck her tongue to the other girl and shook her hips giving her attitude. It wasn't a pretty picture. Curly Hair Girl then came with Mildly Fat Girl (went to get reinforcements, I guess) and tried to get Very Fat Girl, but the little guy who carried Curly Hair Girl before tried to carry Mildly Fat Girl, and was doing pretty well until the girl fell over him. She then started yelling at him and sput on his head. Ten minutes after that, security came.

The band was great, though, and most people were up and dancing. After them they had a hip-hop band called Lifesavas. They were awesome too. Even the old ladies in front of us were up and shaking their arms in the air.


Lifesavas. Sorry the video's crappiness doesn't give the band credit. The rappers were good, but the rest of the band was just amazing.

Travis at the Depot, April 14, 2009

.

As I've mentioned before, this is probably the best concert I've ever been at. The guys were awesome, the music was incredible, and the place was so small that we were really, really close. In fact, Fran, the singer, came down and sang one song among the people, and he even danced with a girl in the audience.



This was the very last song, an acoustic, "microphoneless" version of "Flowers in the Window." My memory card was full by now, but luckily someone posted it on YouTube.



When we went to the concert, Megan and I saw a bunch of girls in tiny mini skits and high heels were heading to the Energy Solutions Arena, and we wondered who could be playing to atract such a crowd. After they finished their first set, Fran and the bass player came out and told us that the real reason why many of us were there is because we couldn't get a ticket "for the Britny Spears gig." That made sense. They then started their version of "Baby Hit Me One More Time," which was the very first Travis song I heard like ten years ago. I absolutely love Fran's "sorry" after he totally messes up (1:54).
