The Ginger and I enjoyed our last night pre-spend fast with dinner out and a fantastic concert by one of our favorite bands, The Black Keys.
Attending the concert last night really got me thinking about how much my husband will miss going to shows. I know the spend freeze is about cutting out things now for a better use of our money later, but it’s still hard. The Ginger works in radio and up until a few years ago was on-air playing his favorite music. I don’t want him to miss out on shows like this.
Luckily, our town has a huge range of great free concerts. Every year I pick out concerts we want to attend, put it on the calendar and then end up forgetting about it. I guess since the concerts are free I don’t give them the same importance as ones I pay for. What a dumb thought process! These are free shows with great artists. From now on I have to pretend that I bought the tickets so that I don’t forget!
Already on the line up for this summer, Glen Hansard, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Blind Boys of Alabama. That doesn’t even include local music! I can tell already that this is going to be a great summer!
Most cities offer great free concerts, it’s just a matter of finding them! A quick google search and you could have just saved yourself over a hundred bucks!
On a pregnancy note, I experienced my fist bout of “morning” sickness yesterday….at the concert! We had a fabulous dinner at a new restaurant in Market Square, but by the time I got to the show I was headed straight for the bathroom to flush away the money we just spent on dinner. I suppose that’s going to help save money…no point spending money on nice dinners out if I’m just going to throw it up anyways. (TMI, sorry)
