In Chicago, we saw Glen Hansard (for free!) in Millenium Park
In San Diego, we saw Coldplay (not for free) in Qualcomm Stadium
In Miami, we saw Dave Matthews Band (for FREE) on South Beach
I think we've circled back pretty well from the beginning of our free concert days, huh babe?
We were literally watching the local news on a Friday night, something we don't typically do (watch local news) when they announced Dave Matthews Band, THE Dave Matthews Band would be performing a free show on the beach. We looked at each other and knew exactly what our plans for the evening would be. So when 9pm rolled around, we walked to the ocean, and could hear the band playing from afar. The streets were closed since New Years was a few days away, and the city was packed with tourists. When we got to the sand we couldn't believe it, we were no more than 20 feet from the stage after slowly making our way through the waves of the crowd. It was amazing, to say the least.
This whole walking to the beach thing is pretty surreal to experience as a normal part of our lives now. In the Chicago days, walking to the lake became one of our favorite things to do, and was often therapeutic for us in the businesses of full time student life. One of the things we talked about wanting for the future is that city life by the water, and man did God give us the desires of our hearts more than we could have dreamed. All I can feel when I think about all this, is gratitude.
So grateful for these days
