I was here….
and more specifically, here…
Tuesday we learned that Brandi (Carlile, if you aren’t on a first name basis like I am… LOL!) was joining Amy Ray (one half of the Indigo Girls) at the Fox in Boulder on Saturday night. First thing I did was get Wade to check on ticket availability. Second thing I did was check with the boys’ most favorite babysitter to see if she was available to babysit. Both worked out beautifully and we were on our way!
Doors were to open at 8:30 with show starting at 9. So of course we showed up at 6:30. Hahaha! We were the 5th and 6th people in line!! Exactly where I wanted to be. It was a little chilly waiting out there for two hours, but it was so worth it. When we were finally allowed in, Wade and I made our way to the front of the stage.
I will tell you now. That show was amazing. Really, amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. I was tingly the entire time. And no, Brandi didn’t sing the whole time. It was Amy’s show. Brandi was mostly backup. But it was so stinkin’ awesome!!! I only had my small camera with me. (Wade talked me out of taking my SLR…but I forgive him.) I did get a few cool shots. And even better…I got VIDEO!! I didn’t have a lot of memory available, but I did get three songs. Sadly, the rockin’ amped up song didn’t do so well on my camera, but the other two songs were acoustic and sound really cool! As soon as Wade gets them on the web, I’ll hook them up here. In the meantime…some pics…
Amy. Those stage lights were brutal for taking pics…
Close up of Amy. She seriously rocked my socks.
Brandi joined Amy on stage for at least half of her songs. You know I didn’t complain!
Oh yeah…just a little bit closer…
