Reggae Adventure

So this is kind of an old story, but it was a good adventure and a new experience for me, so I wanted to share it. A few weeks ago Caitlin, Becca, and I went to the Matisyahu concert in Pittsburgh. And yes, Matisyahu is a real person. Now his music is very interesting. He is an older man with a crazy beard who is jewish and plays reggae, but also beat boxes. So we weren't exactly sure what type of crowd that draws in.

Turns out that it is a super unique group of people. When we first got in line we immediately started scanning the crowd to see who all was there. There were the slightly annoying hipster-wannabe college students in front of us. Of course the weird super fans who had been in line since 6am.(More about them later). There was the couple standing too far apart who were on an awkward date a few people back. Directly behind us wast he cutest boy ever who looked like a hipster version of Zac Efron in a tie-dye shirt. Then waaayyy behind us were the lax bros. But not the cool, super hot kind of lax bros. They were the weird high school lax bro posers.

So when we finally get into the concert we scoot right on up to the second row. The only people in front of us were the super fans. Which didn't seem to be a problem at first. Until we checked Matisyahu's Facebook page and saw 57 posts from "Josh" who was allegedly at the same concert as us. So we obviously wanted to know who he was. So we just yelled "Josh!" really loudly and then looked around. He was a huge dude with tattoos and a hat on backwards in the front row. Not the type of person I imagined to be a Matisayhu super fan.

So after we found Josh, the lax bros come and stand right next to us. We all just looked at each other and knew that we were all thinking "Greeeaaatttt". So at first they were fine. Just standing around waiting for the concert to start like the rest of us. But then the one bro begins to stare intensely at Becca with a mustache drawn on his finger, holding it on his upper lip. Crazy. Like weirdest kid I have ever met. We unfortunately talked with them for a little. They told us that they were boy scouts, which we normally love, but apparently a lax bro boy scout does not mix well. As we continued, the convo just kept getting weirder. So after the concert we just booked it out of there and got in our car and locked the doors.

Looking back on the event, it was funny. Heck, even at the event it was funny. So just remember that if you go to a concert for a weird artist, you will meet weird people.
