Had a blast on Friday enjoying several elements of what makes up a lovely Denver evening- sunshine, cold beer, pizza, patio, friends, great music, meeting fun new people, and oh yeah-- getting exactly what my 13-year-old self always wanted!
While the Meet and Greet was much faster than I wanted (I didn't even get a chance to mention that I almost brought a bag of red jelly beans for Taylor because that was all the rage when we were 14), and I got a very noncommittal answer when I asked when Mmmhops would be available, and Laura didn't get to join us for the photo-op, it was still a very cool experience. Plus, nothing beats a free outdoor concert, even if we couldn't see very well and the crowd was more judgmental than joining in. The blog title comes from a guy who said it best: "VIP passes and pizza, are you guys f'n crushing it?" We met a new friend, Sally, a tattooed mother who is probably fast approaching 50 if not already there. She was hysterical. "My sister lives in Tulsa and texts me...Baby Hanson at the grocery store!!!" "I saw you singing every word to the new album and I thought these are my new friends."

| All that excitement for like 3 seconds of interaction |
 |
| Signed VIP passes |
They played all the songs I wanted them to: Penny and Me, Give a Little, Get the Girl Back, Been There Before, Thinking 'Bout Something. My camera zoom was good enough to capture some decent shots. Our mid-concert move took us right next to their exit path which meant that Laura got some high-fives and smiles instead of the Meet and Greet. And we were home by 8 o'clock. I'm hoping for many more Friday nights like this when I change jobs.

| Pretty much the only shot of Zac I could get. |
 |
| This is why I'm not a photographer. My timing is atrocious. |
 |
| And try #2. Wasn't sure how good of a shot I'd get as he got closer. |
 |
| Turns out they got really close. My camera took too long to reset and this is Laura getting mad that I missed Tay looking right at her. |
 |
| Don't worry, third brother's a charm. |
 |
| Just another lousy night in Denver |
