So on the list of activities I would have found myself unlikely to do would be attending a country music concert. While I have grown fond of country music over the last few years, a concert would seem to be a bit much. That being said, Lindsay was given two free tickets to the Dierks Bentley concert in Gainesville so off I went.

The seats were nice and courtesy of a local country station. The crowd was a mix of Frats/Sororities and honest to God country people. A gentleman sitting next to us was hands down wearing the tightest jeans and shirt I’ve ever seen on a skinny dude in my life. Hipsters would have been envious.

The show was very good and I actually recognized about 5 of the songs. Dierks himself did a good of interacting with the crowd both while performing and in between songs. He also displayed more than a passing familiarity with Gainesville and the Gators. That being said, the loudest cheers of the night took place when he brought members of the Armed Forces on stage.

I have to admit, it was a nice, change of pace evening and it was nice to be out having fun with Lindsay as my Gainesville time is so precious at the moment. I may even consider another concert in the future!
