July 4th was spent in the city attending a free concert in Battery Park. We enter the site of the concert about 30 minutes before it was going to start. The line had to be a mile long, if not longer. Some how we manged to sneek around the line and go directly through the gates where we proceed to front row center. We are some lucky kids.
The first Act was Laura Cantrell. She was a folk-country singer.
Next, my Personal favorite of all the acts was Stephen Malkmus and the Jick. The sun was beating down and we grew very dehydrated. Stephen through us his water bottle. He signed it after the show, i also snaged myself a set list.
Stephen MAlkmus" I noticed you singing the words, you helped me remember my own lyrics"
Sam "Thats what i am here for"
It turns out the Drummer from the Jicks is also the Drummer from the Decemberists Concerts. He remebered us. We Rock.
The Last Act was Yo La Tengo
He started going crazy during the first song.
It was a great show, especially for free.
Thats all kids!
