oh yes, we were "ready to rocksteady"...um, that's the title of a really good song

i'm really quite a slacker...i'm just now posting about the Marc Broussard concert lauren, cj and went to. i never go out any more, but i've been to a few concerts in my day. some really good concerts, and some where i felt saddened by the amount of money i'd spent to stand for several hours next to large sweaty men, have beer poured on my shoes and my ears blasted with what can only very loosely be defined as music. this was a good concert.

the concert was at the Ram's Head Live, so we left work early to drive to annapolis, rocking out to marc the whole way. had to get in the mood. when we found the street the venue was on, we saw the freakin' tour bus! i'm not gonna lie, there was a some girlishness going on in the car. but come on. we had dinner first..which involved several forms of potato...in a special room just for concert goers. we could hear the sound check, more girlishness (less from me and more from...other people). and yes, we took pictures (not normal pictures, just pictures):

then we got to take a special "VIP" path to our slightly less than VIP seats, which were still good, because there were still only maybe 220 other people in the venue. we sang, danced and screamed like little girls for our favorite artist. here is a video of marc singing one of my favorite songs, "Hope for me Yet" (this isn't from the concert we went to, his shirt wasn't nearly so shiny at ours!) he really is a fantastic musician, please listen!

not only are marc and his band superb musicians, they are also incredibly humble and really good to their fans. they stick around after the show and sign cds (they record each live show, so we bought cds of the actual concert we went to) and, if you are cj, t-shirts. they also took pictures!

If you ever get a chance to go see them live, DO IT! we are...again! (november 8th, baby!) at least get some of his music, i promise you'll be impressed.
