Had to do a quick post on Drew's first concert. I got us tickets to see Islander, Kyng, Seether, and Papa Roach as a Christmas present. The show was last weekend at the Tabernacle which is where I saw Kyng and Chevelle a while back. The show was on a Sunday evening so we went into town a bit early so we could walk around and check out the area. We walked through centennial park and checked out the new Atlanta Ferris wheel. I think they said it is currently the 5th largest in the world. We didn't ride it; just looked. Then we had dinner at Ted's Montana Grill before heading over to the show.
I don't think the show sold old but it sure was crowded. Drew really liked the opening act, Islander, so he decided to buy their shirt. After he bought the shirt we noticed some of the band was hanging buy the merchandise sale table so I convinced Drew to go meet them and take a quick picture with them. I screwed up the first photo (typical for me) and we had to go back and ask them again. Embarrassing.....but they were super nice. They were definitely the most energetic band of the night. The guitarists were all over the place. And the singer walked out into the crowd on peoples shoulders while singing and then crowd surfed back o the stage. It was pretty cool.

| Drew with the guys from Islander |
We stood down on the floor for the first 3 acts. Some guy we met on the floor started talking to me during the Kyng show and then saw Drew and said "wow-tall junior." I think that is his new nick name :). We were both tired by the time Papa Roach started so we went up into the upper balcony for their show. I really enjoyed seeing Kyng again but I thought they were a little better with Chevelle for some reason. I don't really know Seether and Papa Roach well but I definitely recognized a lot of their songs, especially from Seether.
Next month I'll be heading to see Tinsley Ellis with some friends and then going to see Willie Nelson with Diane (both at the Variety Playhouse). Sweet stretch of live music!
