family zone!

so this past weekend i went to my 10th dave matthews band show! my sister and her friend and i went down to virginia to the nissan pavillion to see them. we got there around 8 and were searching for some good lawn to park on when we noticed an area of unpopulated lawn near the front so we walked over and it was the family zone.what distinguishes the family zone is that you're not allowed to smoke or drink in it. and while this is a drawback for most dmb fans, i was there with becky and megan and they don't smoke and aren't old enough to drink so we figured why not! it was almost the best lawn seats you could get, plus no stupid drunk boys bumping up against you. a win-win situation. the show was good, they played a bunch of new songs and a bunch of old songs, and the cool trumpet guy was there the whole time and he's awesome. i'll put the set list below. the whole time i was there i was thinking about how different the vibe is when you go see someone like dmb, who has like 20,000 people there, and when i go to zeno's or otto's to see my friends bands play and there are 50 people there. the energy in a crowd of 20,000 is just so palpable. it's so very different, but it's all about the music, just in a different way it seems.
it was super fun, i still think that seeing dmb live is one of my most favorite things to do, they just love the music so much and you can tell and it's infectious to listen and watch it. good times.
