taste of st. louis! the real reason i went home to st. louis for the weekend, with paper route being the added surprise bonus. abby, katie and i made a weekend of it and had carpooled home together, and our friend lizette drove up a bit later to hang out. it was a great time with great friends, and did i mention the heavenly food? 'taste' certainly lived up to its name. we arrived in perfect time to wander a little bit, and make our way to the main stage. and there was nobody there! we literally walked right up to the barricade! civil twilight is so damn underrated and it makes me so sad. they're so talented. so. talented. i've seen them quite a few times now and every show gives me goosebumps. they played for close to an hour and there were quite a few new songs in the mix, with a couple covers. they slowly gained a crowd by the end of their set, and though no one else was really singing along, it looked like they had the attention of some new fans. we had a really great spot, but decided to leave and get some dinner before fitz and the tantrums played.
after stuffing oursleves with various foods from multiple different st. louis restaurants (i had a pulled pork sandwich, a philly cheesesteak with cheese fries, and white chocolate raspberry gooey butter cake. yumba.) we headed back to take our places for fitz and the tantrums. the crowd wasn't too bad and we managed to weasel our way to the front without too much of a fuss. and it was so worth it. fitz and the tantrums seemed to come out of nowhere and shoot straight to fame. and it seems that way besides it's precisely what happened! they played for a solid hour and had the hour crowd singing and dancing. and it was a good thing, because without that crowd to keep us warm it would have been really cold and uncomfortable. such a great night!
