The Fray

after winning meet n greet passes and tickets to the edgefield concert on the lawn for the fray/jacks mannequin, we hauled butt to portland today to get there on time for the meet n greet,. upon arrival the drawing was done for the grand prize: a signed yamaha keyboard and a private piano lesson with Isaac Slade.

i was drawn : ]

so JudeBug, brother and i went into the meet n greet, and took some GNARLY pictures. a member of the staff even lent us some headphones for Bug.

afterwards they led isaac, the boys n me to the music trailer (thank god for A/C) and isaac asked simply "so, do you want a lesson really, or do you just wanna talk?"

i told him we could just talk and he picked up julian and sat him on his lap, letting him play around on his piano.

we got lots of pictures and just talked to him, real cool guy he is. at the end he reached out his hand to high five jude and he high fived him! smart little 7 month old we have!

and on top of that we got this gnarly little keyboard out of the deal, roughly around 500 bucks i believe. the guys signed it. but not before playign with Jude; they got a HUGE kick out of him. ill post the pictures that the station took on the sony, right now there are some isaac slade pics with J in the Mobile Uploads section of myspace.

had a great day, Jacks Mannequin was awesome. the first opener Vedera (vay dair uh i think its pronounced) was awesome. very paramore-esque with the hot woman voice leading the way.

it was beautiful; the concerts on the lawn series must make mcmenamins BANK!

we're lookin for some music to play on this thing. Jamie and i might take the Les Paul and this little beast (to be named later of course) and write a song together.

it was awesome.

i heart the fray.
