but you gotta keep your head up.

my first day at the minnesota state fair was hot, humid, and full of food. between my friend and i we managed to kill off cheese curds, totchos (nachos made with tater-tots instead of chips), deep fried pickles, dessert nachos (cinnamon pastry chips covered in strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream with a lemon glaze), a milkshake, diet coke (obvi), and more water than you can shake a stick at. and the amount of time we were at the fair where we were walking around eating was a grand total of 4.5 hours. 

the other hours that were spent at the great minnesota get together were spent at the leiny lodge waiting for andy grammer. we posted up early to get good seats so we also saw the entire semi-finals for the talent competition in the kid and teen categories. there was this adorable little girl who sang "where were you when the world stopped turning" and she was the most precious act of the whole night. she had this tiny little lisp that was coupled with a twang that made the whole crowd fall in love with her. 

so that was fun. but then AG took the stage and i didn't care at all about that little girl anymore. he killed it. there were some technical difficulties and it was hot as blazes (pretty sure his keyboardist's shirt was d.r.i.p.p.i.n.g. with sweat) but that didn't stop him from going 100%. he played guitar, keyboard, trumpet, and beatboxed...dude is a beast. he not only played his own songs but he covered a bunch of songs, and we all know how much i love a cover! 

i don't really do concert reviews here on the blog but that was probably the worst i have ever described a concert in my life. sorry, it really was awesome. here are some pictures!
