DMB & The Mile High Music Festival

The tickets, VIP wristbands, and Dave Matthews
Lounge stickers that Boyd left at will-call for us.

The girls! Allison, Margaret, me and Ellen.

A panoramic view of the mainstage area.
This is were we sat at tables and hung out in between shows.
(they also had couches up here!)

Aveda sponsored free massages for the VIPs.

Hanging out in the Dave Matthews Lounge.
VIP of the VIP. Free drinks in here- anything beer,
liquor, izze's, organic sweet tea, etc.

The VIP bathrooms- these are like the bathrooms
the guys used in Iraq.

Watching Weezer. :)


Boyd and Dave!!

Dave and his friend, Jeff Coffin on banjo, jamming out to Cornbread.
Loved the banjo, really bluegrass!


They had this big walkway for the VIPs (b/c we had the DMB Lounge stickers).
Nice... no lines to wait in, and it wasn't crowded at all!

Another VIP area we watched from.

Sunday night Dave Matthews Band played at the Mile High Music Festival. Sean had emailed Boyd Tinsley, the violinist, and Boyd hooked us up with 8 VIP tickets and DMB Lounge passes. Unfortunately at the last minute, Sean got pulled away to go to a school and had to miss it! A huge bummer!!

We watched Atmosphere, Weezer, and Dave Matthews. The festival was really cool and had quite the motley crew of people. I thought it was really interesting how many hippies I saw doing hula hoops randomly. Wish I would've gotten a picture of that. The weather really cooperated with us too, 80 at the concert, and it was about 60 when I got home at 2:30 this morning. Two storms came by, one north of us with lots of lightening and one south of us. We got lucky with no rain.

It was an awesome festival! I just wish Sean could've been there to enjoy it with me. :( The very end of the night was quite the opposite of the carefree, fun concerts. I'll blog about that another time.
