The Girls

We went and saw the Indigo Girls last night. It was pretty exciting because
a. I went out and DRANK BEER.
b. I went out without the little one (it actually made me a little sad. So many last firsts)
c. It was the INDIGO GIRLS
d. Brandi Carlisle was awesome and may be my new favorite singer (as well as my new SIL if my BIL gets his way).

The crowd itself was pretty diverse. You have to remember that I live in Arkansas and that even an Indigo Girls concert is going to bring out the country people. My BIL sat next to the best female mullet ever. She looked a lot like Dog the Bounty Hunter but with a more feminine touch. There was also the various assortment of hippies, yuppies, and people that were just hard core into whatever.

Everyone was pretty excited and peaceful, not something I noticed at some of the other shows I have been to. It is rare that I have gone to a show that was mostly more mature women. I do think that most of the crowd was lesbians, which, if you are a lesbian in Arkansas you are probably pretty laid back and don't take yourself too seriously, which helped with the good vibes.
The Indigo Girls amazed me when they showed up on stage because looked like someone's mom. One was wearing jeans and T-shirt, but nothing fancy or styley. She looked a lot like she was going to go the store afterwards and pick up some eggs and milk. The other one has a pseudo punk look with jeans that fit awkward and a studded belt. Not to be the fashion police or anything because they are the INDIGO GIRLS and if they wanted to, they could show up in a mu mu and everyone was love them just the same.
