Jam Band!

So tonight I hung out with the Calvary group as we normally do on Saturday night which consists of Frisbee/games and then going to Stonecrest (a shopping center that consists of a bunch of restaurants and stores and where we go is by a fountain) where we normally hang out inside Qdoba (a mexican restaurant) because there are so many people outside. I did the normal thing repeating it as always except this time the band that was outside was too good to pass up. Usually there is a a chill jam band that plays Friday/Saturday nights and I just walk by hearing it but give it no time of day. However, tonight from inside the music sounded so good I had to listen to it. So I told my friends I was heading outside to watch the band and two of the guys joined me. I felt like I was in another world. The music was so amazing. I don't know the exact genre but it was somewhere between jazz and swing. The bassist was probably the best I have ever seen. Everyone band member looked so comfortable while playing this awesome music. All the people gathered around were into it. There were many people dancing--the most memorable being this older white haired gentleman who danced with this younger African American girl. I even danced a little too- to clarify once a friend who was a girl joined us, the guys we're way too into how the music was being played. While watching them jam I literally felt a smile overwhelm my face and thinking about it I can't get it away. I loved it so much!! It's fun mixing up the evening and doing something a little out of the ordinary. O something so awesome about summer nights!!!
ps. just a brief comment about my last post- the reason i wrote that was because i didn't realize how much i missed school/people there bec of how much i love summer and the people/places/things to do here. i guess that's why we have both :)
