You know how fireworks always end with a ‘grand finale’ where they rapidly blast everything they’ve got left?
If you’ve been following along, you know we’ve seen a lot of concerts this summer. Well, we’ve closed out our summer concert series with quite the explosion!
August 30: Virgin Mobile FreeFest
at Merriweather Post Pavilion
St. Vincent
Public Enemy
Rivers Cuomo, of Weezer
Mark Hoppus, of Blink-182

Their hair was mesmerizing.
The Killers
We had a few days concert-free, and then drove down to Virginia Beach for my half marathon (race report coming soon!) and the American Music Festival.
Sept 4: Cowboy Mouth
(and Sister Hazel, but no photos, and we left after a couple of songs.)
Sept 5: Marcy Playground and Tonic
(we left Tonic pretty early; I had to get to bed before my race!)
Tonic
Sept 6: The Black Crowes
Since this was the headlining show, it was on a much bigger stage. We were really far away!
That’s a lot of music for one week!
