Stalking My Favorite Band

For the longest time, I have been a HUGE fan of Sister Hazel. They are an amazing band and their music is amazing. It's poetic and beautiful and strong and they write their own lyrics and they have an incredible way of presenting their message. I've seen them several times at House of Blues in Orlando but as awesome as their CDs are, they are just so much MORE in concert. I highly recommend checking out their new album, Release, but all of their albums are fantastic. (I'm running out of adjectives here. hehe) Anyway, they were at Epcot during the Food & Wine festival so my friend, Kelly, was able to get me in.

There are a couple of really cool things about this particular concert.

1. Kelly is bold. We got there about ten minutes before the show started and we were able to snag seats five rows from the front. There was a space and Kelly just sat us down there. I would never have been able to get there. So I was sitting right in front of Jett Beres the entire concert.


Now, I don't know if he knew the girl who was dancing beside me or if he thought she was cute or maybe he just thought my goofy smile was funny but he was looking my way a lot. :-)

2. I was able to take pictures. Whenever they come to HOB, you are NOT allowed to take cameras in for some reason that I do not understand. Being at this concert to begin with and with the bonus of #1, I was able to get some great pictures of the guys.




It was a great show and I loved every minute of it.

And now I have followed them out of state. I am currently in Connecticut visiting my friend, Kris. We've had a blast the past few days doing sight seeing in New York and Philly. There will be several posts to come on those outings. We've walked miles and miles and my feet are begging for a break.

Sister Hazel was in Philly last night and we were there!! Kris is not a fan. It's not that she's heard them and doesn't like them, it's that I have been a bad friend up to this point and haven't tied her to a chair and "encouraged" her to listen. *wink* When we left last night, she was converted. She's talking about when they will be back in the area again so she can go to another concert!

So, my stalking career is short and sweet. I'm flying home tomorrow afternoon but they're going to be at the casino close to here tomorrow evening. If I was going to be here one more day I would be able to see them once more. When I saw the tour schedule, I told Kris I could try going to the airline ticket counter Friday and pretend that I didn't realize I was trying to fly out one day later than I was supposed to. She didn't think that would work. I hope it doesn't make me less of a devoted fan that I wasn't willing to try.
