We scored some tickets to the last minute Switchfoot show at the Riverside County Fair and Date Fest. Did you know that Riverside has a County fair? Neither did I. Did you know you can have an annual pass to it? Hmmm. It is in Indio. I did not even know Indio was in Riverside County. Good to know. Let’s just say that there was some great people watching there.
We heard about this concert with barely enough time to spare to drive there. Apparently the Date Fest had scheduled the band Kansas to play but they were unable to make it so at the last minute they got Switchfoot to fill in. How lucky and an upgrade in my eyes!
Josh and I have been dying to take Caleb to a real live concert and even better that it was a band that he loves so much. Josh and Caleb got to stand right under the stage in the pit, while Jo and I stood back to spare Jo’s little ears. Even though Caleb knows practically every word to the songs his reaction was not what we expected. He was seriously watching everything and was embarrassed by Josh’s singing. He is our emo child. Jo was rocking out dancing and I even heard her singing to Hello Hurricane. Hilarious.
After the concert I asked Caleb how it went. In his most excited voice he said, “That concert was so jacked up (he means this in a good way). It was blankin’ out my ears!” Wow. Hearing damage and all, it was a GREAT and spontaneous night.
