Aaron Neville and His Qunitet's Christmas Concert at the House of Blues

Photobucket

Sunday night, the roommate and I attended the Aaron Neville Christmas Concert at the House of Blues. We got there early to stake out a spot on the second floor balcony, stage left that allowed us to essentially look down on the stage and guitarist below us. (The photo above is taken from a different angle than where we watched the show because I didn't think it was a good idea to take out my camera standing next to a security guard.) The two of us were definitely the youngest members of the audience.

Definitely on the list of top five concerts that I have ever been to! I think the roommate may even agree on this, even though she had no idea who she was going to see when she told me that she wanted to go! Haha... two songs into the concert, the roommate turns to tell me that she doesn't care when the show is over because we are staying until the end! Love it!

The two of us got our tickets via the House of Blues' Two for Tuesday member e-mails. Despite that fact that you get three e-mails a week from them, the Two for Tuesday ones are great because we bought our Aaron Neville tickets via the two for one e-mail: basically paid half price for tickets. Woohoo!

House of Blues - Dredge and Rx Bandits



Great venue! HOWEVER, I did not realize that the concert was all ages until I went to the bar for a beer and discovered I had skittles and pop to choose from, as opposed to an assortment of beer. Definitely cool to see a band (Dredge) that I saw on campus in college at the H.O.B. - New Orleans!

Too bad I was unable to go attend the Thriving Ivory show at the HOB earlier in my secondment because that would have been super cool: from standing on the street as a college student watching them play weekly in my neighbors' yard to seeing them at the HOB in N.O. Next time...
