A free concert? Let's Go!



As we wandered in from an afternoon of illegal apartment pool swimming, Joe was checking his email.

"awe...Ween is playing for free in Princeton tonight!"

I could hear almost an heir of disappoint in his voice.

"Ween? for Free?! Let's go!"

I ran upstairs and quickly got changed and dragged a brush through my chlorinated hair. Before dashing out the door, I grabbed my camera. I couldn't very well head off to a free show without practicing my newly found photog skills! The last time I did this, I ended up with a picture on http://www.amfibian.com!

We quickly drove up to Princeton. I knew where the park was. I'd driven past it many times before. Did we actually think we'd be able to park in the lot? What a joke! No worries! It was only 7:45...we had a grand total of 15 minutes to find parking and get into the park to find the amphitheater...

As soon as we got in, we spotted our friend Gary up on the amphitheater steps. Thank goodness we had some time to catch up before the boys went on.



The stage was a makeshift deal. The backstage, nonexistant. It was just a cool place to be. As soon as they started, the area in front of the stage began to fill. I got itchy.

"Hold my bag, I'm gonna snap some shots before it gets too crowded down there!"

I headed down, plunging ahead through the crowd. "Scuse me...scuse me!" When you are short, noone seems to complain. They let you go..further through the crowd..and before I knew it, I was standing directly in front of the stage! The lighting was weird, just a few basic old school lights. But I was there! In front of the stage!

I ended up bumping into an old PB friend of mine, Heather, who was also right up front. Before I knew it, the show was over, and I never headed back to the bleachers. Joe came down to meet up with me..

Once you get there..you don't want to leave. It's just a fun place to be!
