Holy holiday weekend, Batman!

First of all, let me encourage you to see a concert at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington, if ever you have the opportunity. Beautiful scenery, perfect climate, and not a bad seat in the house.

The Gorge has an adjoining campground, which can house close to half of the concert goers. It's like an after party with 10,000 of your friends.

I won't recount my weekend in detail, partly because I don't want to bore you with a long narrative, and partly because I'm lazy. I will tell you that it was awesome. We camped two nights and saw two concerts. If I can swing it next year, I will happily go all three nights. I've seen something like eight of their shows, and as long as they keep touring, I'm there.

As cheesy as it sounds, the Dave Matthews Band has been a huge part of the soundtrack of my life for nearly a decade. I love their music. It makes me happy.

Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries
You let them all fall away...

Curious: Did DMB play "Work It Out," the single they did with Jurassic 5?

Just wondering, because I just got home from a J5 show in Lawrence and they did the song (sans Dave and crew, obviously).

Wow, sounds like fun. Love the picture in your previous post.
