All-American Rejects Concert!!!!


A couple of weeks ago, the All-American Rejects came and performed a free concert here on base. I have to admit I LOVE them and was so excited to go. Eric was out of town, so we went with a friend of ours-Rachel. She also happens to be a JAG and got here about the same time we did. Anyways, the concert was held in the parking lot of the bowling alley and I thought it would be packed, but it really wasn't. We were able to get pretty close. The band was great and put on a phenomenal show and the kids did great. I know, what a nice mom I am taking my 1 year old and 2 year old to their first concert!!! Kailey absolutely loved the music and was dancing away; Ethan had fun, but preferred to sit in the stroller and eat his snacks. The band was pretty funny--their usual concert crowd is teenagers and young adults. Here they had tons of babies in the audience and young kids. They were making jokes about crowd surfing huggies up to the front if a baby had messy pants. In the middle of the concert the lead singer got passed a note and started laughing and he said that this was probably the funniest note he has ever gotten passed while performing. The note said, "someone lost their 2 year old. If you lost your 2 year old please come to the front of the stage." Anyways, they did a great job and we had TONS of fun. I guess later this month the band, Flowrider, is coming. Anyways, another great perk of Japan--we get awesome free concerts!
A little clip of the music. It seems like we are far away, but we actually were pretty close.
