Concert for Equality!

Wow. What a weekend! It was Ah-mazing, and oh-s0 humbling. 

So amazing in fact, that I am writing two separate posts, for both days! 

To start it out, two of my favorite people in the world {my mom and my aunt} joined me for the Concert for Equality. It was held at Seattle Center's Mural Amphitheater. 

And I did!

  

There were 4 acts total, but the best performance was by the humbled, beautiful, crazy-talented Crystal Bowersox. Chances are, you probably have no idea who she is, unless you watch American Idol - She came in second place last year {season 9}, to Lee DeWyze. Those two contestants are actually my favorite from the entirety of the show!

Anyhow, she was SO GOOD! Just her and her guitar. Perfection!

The other 3 acts were good too, don't get me wrong! The first one was a local gal, about my age, doing something with techy-synchronizing machines. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I appreciate her art. The second was a Lesbian band called Betty. You should check them out, they are so much FUN!! And the third was Thelma Houston, who brought the funk! She sang a lot of Motown - it was a BLAST! 

Then when Crystal came on stage, she chatted it up with the audience, and held and impromptu Meet & Greet! 

Surprisingly, there could not have been more than 100 people total in attendance...CRAZY! I mean, you could go sit on the stage with her if you wanted! It was like our own private backyard concert! We LOVED it, and had a blast! I got a picture of my mom and aunt with her, and she signed my camera strap! YAY!!! 

But between acts, I would look around and see nothing but Inspiration. Here is a lawn full of individuals who do not have the same basic right as myself. And it is simply NOT FAIR. You cannot convince me otherwise. I was able to get some great candids of the people around me, and our surroundings. But for privacy purposes, I am not going to post them. However, I will post a few of the surroundings from that night!

Overall, Saturday night could not have been better!
