If you haven't heard of the Rooftop Concert Series, allow me to paint you a picture. First, imagine a multilevel parking garage. On the very top level of parking there is a stage with a few Chinese-looking white lanterns dotting the vicinity. Then, imagine a butt load of hipsters, with a few bros thrown in here and there, surrounding that stage. Place a few relatively up-and-coming bands on the stage, have them play for a while, and you're good to go.
That, my friends, is the Rooftop Concert Series. It's one giant hipster orgy, complete with kids wearing cameras as accessories, multicolored fanny packs, and cutoff "mom jeans" that I swore went out of style in the mid-90's. Half of those kids were there, knowing it was the closest they were going to get to Coachella; the other half probably didn't even know what Coachella was (stupid posers). The whole scene was intoxicating, perhaps even a bit infuriating, but in the end I was there for the same reason they were: to hear some great music.
I won't bore you with a synopsis of the concert. All you really need to know is that it was AWESOME. Below is a video and some photos that I snagged of the concert. If by any chance you see a photo that was your own work, I apologize in advance. I may or may not have stolen a few of these off Instagram.
Saturday, May 4th, 2013: Road trip to St. George
After taking the morning to recover from the concert, Shawn, Jenna, Joel, and I hopped in my car and drove to St. George. The occasion? The long-awaited wedding of one of my very best friends, Colton "Wayne" Simmons Campbell.
The reception was held at the Sand Hollow Golf Course clubhouse. It was BEAUTIFUL. The scenic southern Utah landscape laid out before us in an array of earthy colors, reminding me of all the reasons why St. George is one of my favorite places in the world.
