It could not have been a better night for good music and good friends. The weather was great and the music was phenomenal. I went with my friend MM and pretty much the entire city of Greenville.
Because I'm me, I took the opportunity to sing the chorus of "I Will Wait" anytime we had to wait that night... in the parking lot, for the bathroom, for meeting up with friends. I know, I'm so cheesy.
MM and I got there about a hour before the show, got a good parking spot and headed on over to the Amphitheater. Once we got into Heritage Park, some of MM's friends called and we waited (guess what I sang) on them to catch up to us. MM introduced us and we all walked in together.
Now, the funny thing about the tickets is that I knew a friend of mine loved Mumford, yet had never been to one of their concerts. Well, as soon as I heard that Mumford was coming I texted him. The tickets for this show were lottery based- you had to register for them and not everybody got them. Well I never win anything, so I didn't even bother signing up for the lottery. However, my friend did and they had two extra tickets! Guess who got those? So, I bought those from him for me and MM.
So as we were walking to the gates of the show, I was telling MM all about the awesome people who got us the tickets and who do we see? The people who got us the tickets! That was pretty cool because we got to thank them in person!
Once we got through the gates, we all got some snacks and drinks and went to find spots. MM and I had general admission tickets so we were on the lawn whereas her friends were down in the standing room only area right below the stage. MM and I were happy with our seats, we got to sit (it was hot!) and listen to some awesome music with a pretty good view. Mad props to the Charter Amphitheater in Simpsonville for giant screens everywhere!
While the second opening act was playing, MM's friends texted us saying they had two extra tickets for the standing room area under the stage. I think we were headed down there before she even responded back "yes!" We kept joking all night that "my friends got us in the door, her friends got us on the floor!"

And then we got to enjoy the great music of Mumford and Sons. We even got to see some of it too (until some 6'7" guy stood in front of us). The pictures don't do justice to where we were standing or the wonderful things we heard.
Overall, it was a great night with good music and awesome friends! Can't wait to do it again!
