Summertime...

…And the livin’s easy. So easy and relaxing, in fact, that I’ve pretty much thrown all responsibilities to the wind and am enjoying my last summer of freedom. (Don’t worry Mom, I’m still paying bills. But that’s about it!) My days have been filled with soaking up some sun at Woodside, reading books that aren’t laden with symbolism and allegory, and spending time with friends and family. And—catching some great concerts! Is it just me, or has Kansas City really stepped it up a bit with the music scene?

(I’m going to divide these concert posts—so many pics!)

First up—I caught the Buzz Under The Stars, Night One show in early June with my friend Crystal and a fun group of girls. The Mowgli’s, The Neighborhood, and The Cold War Kids were awesome—but The Lumineers closed the show with a stellar performance. Although it was kinda chilly and overcast, we had a fab time. These pictures don’t do the sound justice—those guys are amazing live!

We were lucky enough to get a pic...and a super sweaty hug.}

{Lumineers! I heart you guys.}

My friend Michelle is always down for the free country concerts on Thursday nights at Power and Light, downtown. We saw Pat Green a few weeks ago, and Gloriana a couple Thursdays ago. Pat was great, but Gloriana was AWESOME! “Wild At Heart” is one of my all-time fav summer songs, and they definitely rocked it out.
