It's Been A Year

Just over a year ago, April 5th to be exact, I went to the Hotel Cafe Tour at the Avalon in Salt Lake. It was easily one of my favorite concerts and I can't wait until they do another one, hopefully this fall. Anyway I asked everyone I knew if they wanted to come and no one was up for it, so I went by myself. I'd gone to a Joshua Radin show alone before and it was a great experience, so I figured I'd try it again. I got there early because I'm a fan of the first few rows, I don't care how long I'm standing for, it's a different experience. As I was waiting I tried to start up conversation with the people behind me. They weren't too interested in chatting, so I gave up. Then a kid in front of me turned around and asked who I was there to see, Cary Brothers or Ingrid Michaelson? This sparked a discussion about the artists we love and then it carried over into other things. We ended up standing togther at the show and having a great time. I got one of their email addresses so I could send them the pictures I took. Thank goodness, because this enabled us to keep in touch. I found both Brian and Trent on myspace (Trent may have found me, I don't remember). Then when Ingrid Michaelson came back through town two months later they both came up and we went together. Trent and I went to a Joshua Radin concert before I moved to DC and he's come up to visit when I've been home. Brian was in DC last fall for a school thing and I was able to meet up with him as well. Who would have thought that it'd last this long??? Happy Anniversary pals!
