When the grownups get to come out and play
Posted by Jess in Day to Day

Last week, I went out Monday and Saturday night to see two very different bands...

Monday the 5th was The Crystal Method at Lupo's at the Strand in Providence, and Saturday was Tower of Power at the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun (free show, woo hoo!)

Going from electronica to funk and soul was a switch, but even more of a switch was the people watching, and how different the age and clothes were. The only thing that was the same was the attitude of happiness at getting to hear/see great music.

The neatest thing that I love about concerts is that when I look around, I see adults of all ages grooving in their playclothes, myself included. The funnest thing, especially on a Monday show, is to remember that probably only a few hours before, these people were bankers, electricians, stock brokers, morticians. Closing a deal. Fixing a computer. Stressing over a proposal due. Clad in business suits, ties, high-heels, and very modest makeup.

Then the night begins, and the clubs become OUR Chuck-E-Cheese's, where an adult can be an adult.

It felt very real.
