Twilight.

Better than the books. Salt Lake has a lot of cool things going on and one of my favorites is the Twilight Concert Series. It's put on every summer free of charge by the Salt Lake City Arts Council. Last year I had a magical experience seeing Bon Iver. This year I know will not disappoint either.

They had to move the party over to Pioneer Park this year though since it’s getting to be such a big deal. (This place is commonly known as the bum park downtown… kinda sketch place but holds a lot more people.)

Spencer and I attempted to go to the first show last week but man waaay too many people to enjoy. SO we peaced out of that place and hit up the mall and movie instead. : )

Tonight was a different experience. I think since it was soo crowded and chaotic last week it kept a lot of people home! Girl Talk played tonight and it was so much fun. Dance Party, that’s what it was. This guy does crazy remixes with every style of music and brings so much energy into it. This was not like any other show that I’ve been to!

Other bands of note: Avi Buffalo. They already played but I highly recommend giving them a listen. I can’t wait to see Matisyahu… I have been waiting for this day to come for years! And August 26, Well I’m just excited to see both of these bands and Spencer will be back to come with me too!
