VIPs For The Day

One of Rob's best friends (who he hasn't seen in about 2 years) was in Iowa yesterday to play at a country music festival nearby, so we decided to go see him play and say hello. I hadn't met him yet so it was so great to finally say hi and introduce myself. He totally hooked us up with passes that got us awesome seats in the VIP tent.



Our great view of the stage- Jake Owen is up there singing in this photo:

There was also free food and way better restroom facilities than the porta-potties everyone else had to use! I'm pretty sure I've never been a VIP before and I felt like a total fraud. I kept thinking, "We're not anybody special- they are going to figure that out and kick us out of here!" Apparently they never caught on because we got to spend the whole day in there and it was great!

Something cool about beer in Iowa? It comes in cups made out of corn! It says so on the cup- you can kind of see it in the picture below:




Our favorite act of the day was Sarah Buxton- I am usually not a fan of female singers but she is incredible! Her cd comes out on July 19th and I would totally encourage everyone to buy it. Or at least buy some of the singles from iTunes. Her voice is kind of raspy and she can just sing. She also writes a lot of her own stuff (and even some things for Keith Urban) and she is a very talented person.

It was so nice to have a day off from working on the house and getting to have some fun and see old friends. It was a great day and we really enjoyed our opportunity to be VIPs!
