Thursday night Jamie and I went to the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City for their free Twilight Concert Series (the equivalent of Sundown in the City, for all you Knoxville folk). Mainly because JENNY LEWIS was playing! AHHHHH! Oh my goodness, I have such a girl crush on her. I want to BE her. And apparently a lot of other girls do too, because you should have SEEN how many Jenny Lewis wannabes were wandering around. You can see in the pictures that she was wearing those crazy high-waisted super short shorts from the 70s with a ripped-up T-shirt tucked in. This is NOT a look many girls can pull off. But oh man, that sure didn’t stop them from trying. We saw WAY more butt cheeks hanging out of shorts than we imagined possible. But Jenny? Well of course SHE can pull them off. If you’re the Queen of Indie, you can pretty much do and wear what you want and get away with it. That’s just the way it is.
For all the reasons I am in LOVE with this girl, see these old blog posts: HERE and HERE.
So I will spare you all the gushing since you’ve heard it before, but I HAD to share some images because we were actually able to get CLOSE this time. Granted, I was standing behind the gawkiest 6’6″ kid in the world and could barely see anything, but that’s what holding a camera over your head the whole time is for! Duhhhh.
These were shot with my Canon Powershot SD870 IS, which is a crazy-good point and shoot. Considering the low lighting, no flash, and the close-up zooms- and the fact that I was holding the camera over my head the whole time- this thing performed pretty dang well.
The guy in the white T-shirt is Johnathan Rice, Jenny’s boy toy/producer/back-up singer/guitar player. Awwwww…..
Tara - I’m so jealous of you right now…so jealous.
admin - Just put that on your list of reasons to become a Mormon and move to SLC. :)
