Mile High Music Festival

Denver decided to host one killer music festival...the Mile High Music Festival

I bought tickets for Day 2 of the festival for Sam for our anniversary when I thought Stephen Kellogg (more to come) was performing on day 2...then he switched to day 1 so I was bummed...BUT I ended up getting 2 free tickets to Day 1 so, off we went...

Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers-

Those of you that have heard me talk about the SK6ers know that I LOVE this band!! We discovered them by accident while living in LA. We went to see Pat McGee Band in Hollywood and the SK6ers opened for them and totally stole the show...since then I have been a HUGE fan.

The Rest of Day 1-

Out of both days Josh Ritter was definitely the next best show. He and his band were having so much fun on the stage.

They are quite the characters!

Joel and Sam (Bri, Helen and I were there too...but no pics of us) Sam's favorite show of the day was Spoon...I liked them because they were one of the shows under a tent since it was 96 degrees out!! HOT HOT HOT

Bring on Day 2-

After learning from day one Dan knew to hydrate before the concerts started...we dropped him and his Razor scooter off at the convenience store as we made our way through traffic. This pic is of him in Brea's rear view mirror!

Me and Brea (so jealous of her hat!!)

One view of the blazing hot sun!!

Day 2 brought another round of great artists: One Republic, Colbie Calliet, O.A.R, Flogging Molly, Black Crowes, and the tool you see above John Mayer. He came out in these sweet shades...ok maybe not so sweet! And this little one was along for his first DMB show

DAN
Brittni, Josh (and baby Griffin for his first concert rockin' in mom's belly!!)
Sam loves those shades!

Brea got this shot as we left...it was a fun couple of days!

Speaking of fun...here are a few folks we found entertaining over the two days: the ridiculous PDA couple
this outfit...but don't miss the dance moves below (just tilt your head sideways)
Hannah Montana chairs...REALLY?!

and this girl in purple...really feeling the music...really NOT knowing the words!!
