Mason Jennings Concert

Jason bought us tickets to the Mason Jennings concert in Grand Rapids last Thursday evening and we had a really great time! Instead of it being at a huge stadium, it was at a small, more personable venue and we were able to stand right in the front of the stage! Money Mark played as the opener and has such a smooth voice! He used to play for the Beastie Boys. (After they played, the band member in the blue shirt came down into the audience for the remainder of the concert, he was pretty cool, too!)
My friend, Nikkie, showed up (along with Jason's cousin and his girlfriend and his brother and his girlfriend, too!) It was like a family reunion! Actually, it ended up that there were probably about 20 of us that knew each other there!
This is Mason Jennings. Although I was in the front row, he was on the other side of the stage and pictures were hard to take because of the lighting... Either way, he sounded just like his CD and it was very entertaining!
Here we are, after the concert, and ready for the drive back home. Thank goodness he drove, because I go to bed at 10 p.m. and it was after 12 when he dropped me off!

Thanks for taking me, Jay! It was really fun!
