Seth and I both really love Jack Johnson. He puts on an AMAZING live show! We went to his concert 5 yrs ago as one of our first dates, and we have been back every time he plays in Salt Lake City.
These are pictures taken in 2005 at that concert. It was so fun!
Like always he plays at USANA, an outdoor ampitheatre, which is a great venue for Jack Johnson. This year at the concert, we arrived early cause we left right after work, which is in West Valley a few miles away from the ampitheatre.
They had different booths for different non-profit organizations. Jack Johnson has his own non-profit foundation, called the All At Once community. Seth is interning for a non-profit in SLC this year, and one of his co-workers was volunteering at the concert. We went to go talk with her before the concert, and then this guy comes up on this small stage (see above photo) and starts playing. It was G.Love, Jack Johnson and Zach Gill. It was a cool little impromptu show, very chill and relaxed.
We had lawn seats, which are great because you have space to relax, but you might be next to some crazies (like the 2 middle aged guys in front of us who kept dancing like idiots! Seriously one of them was doing a version of the "bus driver"). I tried to get a video of them, but it was too dark.
Jack played for nearly 2 hours and I heard every song I was hoping he would play. He finished up his first set with my favorite song, "At or With Me" from his new album, "To The Sea"
I love these lyrics:
Are they laughing at or with me
Why can’t we just say what we mean
People are just trying to fit in
But is there something telling you
You can’t trust anyone in this town
Ah baby those are such great shoes
Why can’t we just say what we mean
People are just trying to fit in
But is there something telling you
You can’t trust anyone in this town
Ah baby those are such great shoes
I think these words are a great commentary on our society. I love the irony of: "ah baby those are such great shoes." I have lately been thinking about materialsm and the negative affects of it. Maybe I'll share my thoughts on that topic in another post. I also love that the lyrics are serious, but the melody is up-beat and happy.
Hey Jessica-
ReplyDeleteI saw your post on Emily's (sissy jupe) blog and I have a design question for you. I have this idea that I can't visualize well enough to know if it would be cool or tacky. So, the idea. Using the same fabrics as Emily is proposing, do you think using antique buttons (bright, enameled buttons) would look good as tufting?
I have a corner chair that I want to do something fun with, but I'm not ready to commit yet.

Hey Sherry! nice to hear from you! I think matching orange button-tufting would look great. I would keep the size small though so as not to compete with the busy fabric pattern. BTW, can I get an invite to your blog? jessicagrace {at} hotmail {dot com}
