Accidentally front row

The Band Perry came to Dallas a few weeks ago for a free concert.

A gchat convo...
Lindsey: lauren. have you heard about this free Band Perry concert next week?
LJ: yes! next monday? at gilley's?
Lindsey: yes. i kind of hate that it's on a monday. the doors open at 7pm.
LJ: true...monday's are kinda bad for concerts. but we could do dinner first.
Lindsey: we'd have to.
LJ: so how do we get these free tickets? wait...do we need a code?
Lindsey: no i don't think so. did you check the site?
LJ: yes. we need a code. it's really too bad. bc now i've convinced myself that i need to go.

And then a text message a few days later...
Linds: still wanna do that concert next monday? i got tickets!
LJ: ummm, YES YES! let's do it.

And so began Monday Fun-Day. Complete with guns and boots. (don't judge me...105 degrees is much too hot for boots. these ladies have serious dedication.)


Who says everything is bigger in Texas?


By some strange turn of events, we ended up in the very front row. We're still a bit unsure as to exactly how this happened...

All I know is that we swipped our IDs, received very official wristbands (detailing our full names, time of entry, venue name...very official), were asked if we were all together, told to hold up a minute for special seats by a very enthusiastic man with a bandana, were ushered through a blocked off section...that happened to be riiiight in front of the stage.

And there we were! Accidentally front row!


Where we got a good close up of the set list. Very important to know what's coming next.



And then for more surprises.

The Band Perry was going to be performing this very show for Jimmy Kimmel Live. So that was even more cool.


I mean, they said Jimmy Kimmel Live. But they didn't quite clarify if the concert was airing live, or if it was being taped for a later live show. It was quite confusing. But we cheered on cue like they told us to anyway. We were front row after all. Front row comes with cheering obligations.






We left Gilley's completely in love with those Perry's. That Kimberly has some serious sass. We're fans. Of her...and of her sass.



They were pretty great live. Both from the front row and from their pre-recorded performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Also, according to Linds..."you guys can't believe magical tv words like 'live'..."

:)
