When 1 door closes, some other opens. Last calendar week I was running around madly prepping for our 5th Year Anniversary Rooftop Concerts Show together with this calendar week I am returning to some writing projects I've been putting off for...oh...months and...oh...months.
But earlier I teach cheat on my weblog alongside another weblog and some other assay out for some other anthology, I desire to part my experience on Fri night.
First of all, earlier the concert Christopher meticulously sprayed my pilus neon pink. Then nosotros drove to the Meet together with Greet earlier the concert. The outset mortal who saw my pilus was my friend Scott. He said, "What did yous create to your hair?" And I said, "You mean, I LOVE YOUR HAIR!" together with he said, "BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I DO." But I did a photoshoot anyway:
That's Fictionist.
And my sis Lucy who was supposed to live on my "assistant" for the night. But mainly she only ate cheese together with crackers together with drooled all over her favorite band (Fictionist). In other news, I am on the await out for a novel personal assistant.
There were a lot of jokes nearly my hair, yous guys.
But together with hence the Neon Trees came into the reception room together with Tyler gave me a large hug together with said,
"Courtney, I honey the hair, yous did it for us!"
And from that 2nd forth I wore that pinkish pilus to a greater extent than proud than Katy Perry herself.
(Did I only type that sentence? And am I going to operate out it there?)
Then nosotros took photos alongside Sarah Wiley together with Justin Hackworth. We called them the Founder's Photographs. Because we're the founders of the Rooftop Concert Series see?
Isn't it cute how Sar together with I are belongings hands? I telephone yell upwards her Sar.
The concert started soon afterward this alongside the fantastic Blue Aces.
(After the exhibit the girls offered to babysit my kids some time. I honey them.)
Then, Fictionist. For those who similar intelligent rock.
Note: they did NOT offering to babysit my kids some time. But I notwithstanding honey them anyway.
We had a one-half hr betwixt the final 2 sets together with hence nosotros filled it alongside sponsor swag together with thanksgiving together with a whole lot of honey towards this incredible audience.
All credit to my friend Devin Baer of Google Fiber Provo. He was the 1 who had the vision for this show. He also was generous alongside us this yr every bit a sponsor.
And then, the Neon Trees came out together with the crowd sorta went wild for them:
During their encore, I got to teach onstage alongside Mayor Curtis together with acquaint the band alongside keys to the metropolis together with declare October tertiary Neon Trees Day inwards Provo.
By that fourth dimension I had taken off my boots together with was walking around on pinched, throbbing feet. Then my pilus started flaking off onto my furry, John Snow yeti vest. My ticker brand upwards melted together with sunk into my baggy eyes. My lipstick, a shade of a nighttime good spent. We all congregated dorsum into the reception room where nosotros ate brownies together with lemon squares together with talked nearly everything.
Stu from Fictionist was riding a skate board together with Carina showed upwards inwards a fabulous leather jacket. News nearly BYU's defeat to Utah State together with Taysom Hill's broken leg were briefly mourned. Emilie Campbell told me a actually funny flush nearly pregnancy sickness together with Costco chocolate muffins. My niece Morgan together with her friends stopped inwards together with made me experience similar a cool aunt. The safety guards on the other side of the drinking glass doors stood past times together with watched.
My favorite business office of the nighttime may receive got been chatting alongside Kaneischa Johnson. She was the original planner of this whole night. She seat a lot of effort together with tears into this exhibit together with it had payed off beautifully. "I receive got cried hence many times this night alongside happiness," she said to me. She totally deserved it.
And hence some other Rooftop Concert Series chapter comes to a close. What volition conduct house adjacent year? I don't know, but inwards the meantime, I receive got some essays that are begging to live on written.
This is the life of a shape-shifter...
...in pleather pants.
