Concert

I decided that I should finally write about going to the Greg Laswell concert in Ballard for Mother's Day. I was driving in the car and heard on the radio that Greg would be at the Tractor Tavern so I quickly drove home and purchased tickets for Phil and I for my Mother's Day surprise. I called the babysitter and started getting so excited to be going up to Seattle for a date night and seriously (that is for Ashlee) I have listened to his CD a MILLION times and have been LOVING him lately.
We got up there early so we could walk around Ballard. We miss the coolness of Seattle and just walking around shops and streets and watching people. We got some ice cream from the specialty homemade ice cream truck and then headed to the tavern. Two people were opening for Greg and yes they were horrible, oh and they both played for 50 min. By the time Greg started playing it was almost midnight. No one else seemed to care that it was that late, but I am pretty sure we were the only ones there with kids and needing to get a babysitter back before the pass wasn't good for getting back on Post. Yes, I didn't even come close to getting her back in time. It was almost 2:00 by the time I got her home, but once Greg started playing it was so hard to leave. He was AWESOME. His voice is one of those that is just as good, if not better live.
We hung out with some couples we meet and they were the same age, but it was funny that we have 3 children at home and they were all just dating. Now we are just watching and waiting for him to come back to Seattle and play at a different venue so we can hear more of him.
