May 19th, 2011: Eisley @ Neumos

I've roughly became a fan of Eisley around 2004 when I first heard "I wasn't prepared". This year, I just discovered their album "Combinations", and I just went to their show and bought "The Valley". I love Neumos because the venue is very intimate, and it's easy to fully appreciate a good show when you can see all of the band members. Amanda and I had one of the best seats in the house on the 2nd floor overlooking the band.

Christie Dupree. Eisley's little sister. She was the opening band.

Emily Kokal! AHHH! She's super ADORABLE!

Theresa, Jenny, and Stella (Emily was at the opposite end of the stage).

At the end of the show, Andrea, Meghan, and I waited outside of their tour bus. Jenny ran and went inside of the bus. We
tracked down Emily to take a candid picture before she bolted away. ahhhh :(

However, Theresa was free for a quick chat and a picture with Andrea and I. :)

And then we stopped Stella for a quick chat. The first thing I said was, "This girl *points to Andrea* converted me!" And she said, "to Judaism? That's great!!!" I loved her sense of humor, and I love how quirky and crazy they all are! It's so amazing to see girls so carefree and funny making music and being who they are. You honestly don't see that around anymore.

ALSO: since I used my camera phone to record one of the opening bands, PVT, it recorded very distorted. They were absolutely amazing. Andrea and I were acting like tug boats during this song:

Bumbershoot 2010: Celebrating 40 years of music and arts! Except, I celebrated without Bob Dylan...

...and The Decemberists. My big sister, Reney, and I bought economy tickets because the main stage tickets were sold out. It was to be expected though, Bob Dylan is a legend. We were just stupid to think we could buy the tickets on the day of the show.

However, we ran around and met up with Amber, and still got our money's worth! We still saw a lot of good live music (and a couple of questionable ones), and saw some short indie films as well.
This providence, and their stage.
