Oh Saturday night was such a good night. Diana and I drove out to Santa Monica to see Brightwood at the Dakota Live Music Lounge. We got there and were about to pay for the show and the lady asked Diana for her ID. She then told us the show was 21+ so I complained about how we drove real far for the show and that no where on their website that it said that is was 21+. I then proceeded to tell her that Brightwood rarely played in the la area and this was one of my few chances, she then told us no still. So of course I kept pushing and she said we could go in(the guys were sound checking) and say hi real quick. While we were watching them sound check she came over and said we could stay but not to order drinks etc and to keep low! I was so stoked on that.

There was like 5 other people there by the time Brightwood went up. Before they played we got to talk to Andrew(the singer who is pictured above) and Collin. Those guys are such genuine nice guys. Andrew even asked what song I would like to hear since I was like the only one who knew who they were and all the trouble I had to go through in order to see them! So the guys played "Sit still". It was pretty awesome of him and the guys to do that for me. Their set was amazing. They played so many good songs and it was such a solid set. Seriously, their album sounds amazing but if you havent seen them live you need to!!!

After their set we met up with collin out back so Diana could buy merch. We hung out back there for a while just talking about music and everything in between then Collin walked us back to the front so we could get our keys from the valet service. We bid our good byes and then we headed off to see our friend Nate in Sherman Oaks!
