Matisyahu!

My friend Ashlee won concert tickets off of the radio station "The Mountain" a couple weeks ago. The head liner of the show was this guy by the name of "Matisyahu". He is a jewish reggae rapper. Weird? I know. So Ashlee invited me to the show and we had dinner at applebees before the concert.

The guy who opened for Matisyahu was someone who called himself "216". Yeah I dont know what thats about... but he was this white guy with a big long beard and very intense creepy eyes. He was some hip hop rapper from the area and he did a few songs... well half way through his show another guy comes out onto the stage... who I recognized... I was just about to tell Ashlee that I thought it was Blake Lewis from American Idol, when "216" announced him. He was beat boxing with this guy for a couple of songs... it was crazy! I was going into this show not expecting to know anyone or any of the songs... and there before me was this guy from the seattle area who was on american idol.

While we were watching the first act, we spotted a bunch of teenage boys wearing those yamika hats.... they were dancing around and getting into it... I felt like I was at a bar mitzvah.

Matisyahu came onto the stage around 9pm. He put on a great show! Ashlee and I loved the music and we enjoyed dancing in the crowd with all of the hippie, reggae, grunge people. Over all it was a very interesting night. I'm glad to have a friend that is up for trying new things!
