My Amazingly Vampire Weekend (so far)



This Friday night was absolutely amazing! It started out with a road trip to Portland to see a Vampire Weekend concert with some friends. One girl with us came to see if she could buy a ticket at the venue. This is where all the fun begins! Long story short, we used the wrong directions and ended up parking somewhere with a cheep price. However, we had no clue where we were! So we ended up asking these two girls on bicycles with carts if they knew where the Crystal Ballroom was. (that was our venue)

They told us that the Crystal Ballroom was 2 blocks over and 10 blocks up! There was no way we were going to get there in time, but then... The girls told us they were a taxi service and that they would take us there! So we rode in bicycle taxis for 12 blocks and got there in time for the concert! It was absolutely amazing! By chance, we just happened to meet someone who could get us there even faster than we could!

So when we finally got there, all the tickets were sold out! Our friend had no place to go and we didn't just want to leave her there! We had no idea what to do! So one of the bouncers let her in for free and said that it was his random act of kindness for the day! What an amazing thing to do! So she got in for free and we went up!

Once we got up to the stage, we only had to wait 15 min. for the concert to start. After the opening bands were done Vampire Weekend took the stage! AAAAHHHHHH! It was amazing!

In case you didn't know who these guys are... They're a band from NY and they aren't very well known yet, but they are amazing!

Their concert was full of energy! The concert was sooooo good, I can't decide if their concert, or album is better! They played up on stage for so long that they played every song that they've ever recorded!


We all had sooooo much fun it still makes me all excited just thinking about the night we had! It was amazing to see God at work in our night too! All the people He put in our path that were able to help us, it just amazes me! God protected us and guided us even while going to a concert! What a wonderful God I have!
