If you're reading from the Utah area, hopefully you made it out to the concert last night at the Red Butte Gardens. She & Him were, well, nothing short than magical, not to mention I got to go with my sweet guy which made it all the better. We've never been to a concert at the Gardens before, and somethings to make note of to help you become a concert expert:
1. Go at least an hour before Will Call opens to pick up your tickets,
2. Make sure to pack your own food, chairs, drinks, or whatever else you'd like.
3. Be prepared to wait in long lines for a really, really, really, long time.
4. Bring sunglasses, a light sweater, and make sure your phone is fully charged.
At first I was a little heartbroken, when security informed us we weren't allowed to take pictures once we entered the venue, per request of the bands, (even on our phones), so we just snapped a few shots when we could before the show. It was expressed M. Ward & Zooey Deschanel wanted people to experience their music without the irruption of technology. Me being the camera junkie I was, thought it was dumb at first, but by the end I was really glad I wasn't so consumed on the photography aspect of the evening, I honestly just enjoyed myself. If you haven't given She & Him a proper listening to, I highly recommend it. It'll be good for your soul.
