Crawfish Boil 2011

The Crawfish Boil was fun.  Good company and a lot of laughs and mishaps.  I ran into a lot of people I knew, and had a lot of fun as only drunk friends who don't see each other often can have.  I wish I would have thought to take more pictures with those friends.  I didn't get many pictures of the bands because I was too busy socializing and rocking out, but I'm happy with the pictures I did get.  I really wanted to get pics of Sublime with Rome, but I wasn't close enough to the stage, as my phone's camera is not very good.  All in all, it was another good, memorable year at the Crawfish Boil. 
 I was very excited for the chance to see Weezer.  They are a big deal for me because Casey and I shared such a passion for their music.  I guessed that they would open with "Hashpipe" and I was right!  They also played "The Sweater Song", "Only in Dreams", and "Island in the Sun," which are probably my favorite songs by them.  Their closing song was "Buddy Holly," which had a great ending.  I was a little disappointed that they didn't come out for an encore, but just the chance to see them was enough to satiate me.
Weezer!



After party....a little tipsy....


The only band I really wanted to see on Day 2 was Stone Temple Pilots.  I would have liked to see Cage the Elephant, but I had to work and they aren't necessarily on the top of my concert list.  Dara wanted to see Nelly, and we got there as he was beginning.

 I didn't get any pics of Nelly, but I did get to hear him perform "Just a Dream," which is probably my favorite song by him (yes, I just admitted that, but it's only because it hits home).

I was super excited to see Stone Temple Pilots.  They performed "Down," which is the song I wanted to hear the most.  We got right up to the gate!  Great view, great concert.


STP!
