Last weekend may have been one of the best weekends ever. The weather was outstanding, the Wine Bar was beautifully busy, Lark Fest was once again a joy, and I got to take my middle son to SPAC to close out the season. Yep, pretty friggin’ awesome.
When the show was first announced, I decided a Sunday night show in September was undo-able. Especially during the early weeks of school when my body is still craving the languidness of summer. Nope, not happening. But, once I realized that the following day was a holiday (Happy New Year!) and I was offered the opportunity to shoot pictures for a Times Union SEEN gallery, everything changed. We were there!
I have to admit, I don’t really know a lot of the band’s music, but there are a couple of tunes that almost have an anthemic quality that I really like. I think Greg Haymes gave a really fair and accurate review of the show here. It was an absolutely gorgeous night and I think I won some “cool mom” points with my boy – winning! I had hoped to slip a photo of he and I together into the SEEN gallery, an idea which was nixed by my teen. Oddly enough, he acquiesced to having a photo taken with three beautiful college coeds…See if you can find that picture. If you can’t locate it on the TU site, you might want to check inside his middle school locker.
