Come dance this silence down through the morning

Wilmington doesn't draw many big name musical acts. If you want to see a concert around here, it's generally accepted that you need to drive into Philly do so. That's all fine and good--you can't beat the selection offered there--but once in a while it's nice to get from home to the venue in 15 minutes, even if it means your options are somewhat limited. Sunday night we attended an outdoor concert that would have been totally awesome 10+ years ago but was still pretty dang good now. It included the likes of Collective Soul, Live, and Counting Crows. Each of these bands is still putting out music today, but it's an understatement to say it gets less play than their music did in the 90s. They pretty much stuck to the hits on Sunday. There were a few cases where I thought to myself Oh yeah, I forgot all about this song. So I enjoyed the show. And at least we didn't feel like the oldest people in the audience this time.

We were able to stand quite close to the stage, and I would have had a great photo for you, but we are having some difficulties with our camera these days. The thing has been turning on and off with a mind of its own, quickly wearing down the batteries. We might be in the market for a new one soon. If anybody has any recommendations for a decent camera, let me know. I'm feeling lost without one.
