Rockin' out to MAE

In the middle of the week last week, David and I decided to go see the last show of this tour of one of our favorite bands, MAE. They played at a small club downtown, so we spent the evening rockin' out to some other bands that opened for them. Then when MAE took the stage, they really stole the show - they were awesome! See for yourself...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Int6b00tp5g This opening was filmed at the show we were at, and the camera was literally right behind us, so what you see is exactly what we saw. We got some really cool tee shirts, and had a great time. I actually know the drummer in the band (we went to church together a long time ago and I hadn't seen him since - until I discovered he was the drummer in this band! - he's the one on the right in the picture above) So after the show, we went up to the stage to talk to him and see if he even remembered me. I was very surprised that he did! And he was super nice. Obviously we didn't have much time to catch up right then, but he did give us access to a special after show acoustic concert they were doing up on the roof. So we got to sit a couple of feet from them with only about 20 other people on top of the roof in the middle of the city with them taking requests and playing acoustic versions of their songs for about another hour. It was really cool.
