I've Got Rhythm, I've Got Music

I attended Guitars Unplugged last night. I've been wanting to go since I found out about it. Silly me, wanting a boy to take me to it I waited around. I didn't even think about just buying myself a ticket and going with friends. My roommate yesterday afternoon says, "Hey, let's go to Guitars Unplugged". Me: "OK!"

So we get the tickets online. Think to ourselves: "Hmm...maybe we should have asked if [other roommate] wants to go."
So we call her. She says yes, and we buy her a ticket.

For future reference I recommend buying the tickets ahead of time at the Info desk in the Wilk. Since we couldn't get over to the Marriott Center ticket office and it didn't even open until 3:00 the day of the concert, it meant buying the tickets online and paying $1.50 extra per ticket. So buy early, save money, and get good seats.

By the way, I don't claim to be a expert musicial critic. Actually I can sing a little bit, and I've learned some chords on my guitar. I'm going to take piano next Fall semester, but besides listening to my iPod, that is the extent of my music knowledge. Take my review for what it's worth. Hey, you get what you pay for.

Overall I think the concert was very well put together. It featured all acoustic guitars. Some people had a band and some people just played by themselves. There were so many different styles ranging from a Jack Johnson feel to Mr. EFY CD. There was even a little blue grass type sound which the lead singer tried to rock out to. I don't think he was too successful though.

I do think the concert lagged right in the middle. They had too many performers doing slow songs. I could hear the audience get restless. It's too bad. I really think many of them were good. However, I started feeling sleepy and tried to stretch in my small Marriott Center seat.

The Concert picked right back up starting with the Ease. I have to say the one of my favorites was Benton Paul. But that could be because I have a crush on him. *blush* Anyway, I think the concert ended with a high note (no pun intended...well maybe) because of Ivy League. Oh man, when the four other band members joined the drummer by playing on trash cans, I wanted to jump out of my seat. They had a great high energy song, Let it Burn, and the lead singer talked to the crowd and even had us sing along. I wish the whole concert could have been like that.

The only thing I could have done without were the Emcees. Honestly. Lame.
No offense, I'm sure it was really difficult. Maybe there was no one better. All I can say is...

AWKWARD!
