Call me crazy

call me crazy, but...

I took Zander to edgefest with me tonight. I had no one to go with and instead of dealing with getting someone to watch him and going by myself I just took him.

We watched:
30 Seconds To Mars
Rise Against
and
Incubus

Incubus played Nebula and covered Let's Go Crazy, so that made my night. I don't think I've seen them play anything off of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. since Sno-Core.

He was mostly very good and we had fun. Thankfully, it's at a park so there was slides (it's actually the splash park but it's all turned off) and lots of grass for him to run in. And I wasn't the only crazy with a child, he played with some other kids at the park.

So yeah, call me crazy. :-)

When we got there 30STM was just starting and I was holding him and he was chewing on one of his cars. When the music started he was in awe. They had a big screen next to the stage so we could see that very well. He got so excited when he'd see the drums on the big screen then he'd point to the stage and say "drums!" After a song was over he'd set his car down on me and clap, he loved to clap.

Later, when we were playing in the park when Incubus was on he'd be running around and then he'd just stop and find something to beat on. He loves to "play drums" with music.

He also did a lot of dancing.

So I think he had a good time. Taking a 2 year old to a concert was a bit of a challenge, I was really tired, but I think it was a cool experience for him. I took along a backpack with cars, bubbles, a handy-dandy notebook and crayon, and diapers and all that good stuff. He did end up having a dirty diaper during Incubus and I just found a quiet place under a tree and changed him, no one was around.

Today when we were talking about it he said "I watch a-music, play drums. Watch a-music on TV!" meaning the big screen.
