Southbound 35


The Kansas City Power & Light District needs a new marketing department. One of the coolest things that they are doing are all these FREE summer concerts. They do them on Wednesdays and Thursdays, its all kinds of music, and there have been some big name acts. Here's the problem....they don't advertise them very well. Which is how 2 super big Pat Green fans like Ryan and I didn't know about the FREE PG show until the end of last week! But a crisis was averted, we found out about the show, and last night we got a little Texas in our souls.

This was one of the best crowds for a show that we've had in a long time. We stood by really big fans who were all really nice. One of the girls from my gym randomly was right next to us, we had a group of crazy drunks behind us who were nice AND acted as the brut squad for all those people who didn't get there early and were still trying to push their way to the front, and a group on the other side of us who loved Waylon Jennings.

We were were only about 7 people deep from the stage - perfect! Close enough to see but not so close that PG couldn't see us :-)

He put on a really great show! I'm always so impressed when an artist does a free show and still gives it their all - it says to me that the reason for being a musician is still the same even after they've gotten big...they love the music and love the fans. PG definately brought the love last night!

THEN...he signed some autographs! YAY! After getting in a word fight with a super rude girl who cut in line (ugh!) I actually got to meet Pat! He took his pic with me and signed a koozie. YAY!!
