Matt and I to finish finish up our anniversary got tickets to Hopefest 2008. They are a group that raises money for AIDS/HIV in Africa good cause, plus it was a sweet concert program. They held it in Cary just an hour and a half north of us. We went in the evening to see Colbie Caillat and Edwin McCain. We took Keeley because it was an outdoor festival. However, the second we showed up it began to rain and the rain turned into a down pour. They obviously had to stop the entire concert. We waited for two hours. It was kinda fun though we just hung out and watched the lightening light up the trees. Here is a video of the storm. I was trying to keep Keeley dry while she ate!
When they rain hadn't let up they moved some of the artist under the area where we were sitting and they sang acoustic. It was awesome. We ended up having some of the best seats in the house. Here is a dark picture of Edwin McCain.
After the storm cleared they discovered it had gotten to the equipment so Colbie Caillat also played acoustic. It was very kick back. Nearly everyone had left so she played for probably only 500 people compared to the 300o or so that were there when we got there. Here is Bulbbly:
We had a great time even with all the set backs.
That must have been a sweet concert! Worth weathering out the storm to see!
