A Night To Remember (for those that were sober)

Mason Jennings
May 21 will be noted as the day that the best concert EVER took place (at least in my record books). Tonight I went and saw Missy Higgins, Brett Dennen AND Mason Jennings! The stars aligned and two of my favorite people, Brett and Mason, decided to go on tour together. This was also the first time that I got to whip out my ID and prove that I was 21 or older. Although I won't deny that the seven foot tall steroid pumped bouncer still made me kind of nervous. The concert was amazing, both artists lived up to their hype. Since this was my first concert at a 21 an older club I really paid attention to my fellow "clubbers" and I think I picked up some really important life lessons.

First.... when smoking from a bong it is best to crouch down one at a time, so no one will suspect anything.

Old people can rock out to Mason too.

Weed smells like sweet smoke, or smoke mixed with a little incense.

Bouncers do not let you in, even if your 21st birthday is TOMORROW. Maybe next year hon.

"Feeling tremendous pain in you heart is what life is all about, and we should have the capacity within to love someone so much that we can make ourselves disappear." Brett Dennen

Brett Dennen says weird things after a "couple" of drinks.

This last one I heard from the crouching bong guy, I think I will adopt it as my new motto:
"If it ... makes you .. happy......... just... Effing do it!"

Overall it was a fantastic night, and since I was sober, it is not one I will soon forget.
