So this week has been all things The Fray and Jack's Mannequin mixed in with a touch of old school funk but I'll get to that later. Last week I was watching the KTLA morning news and caught them talking about the Donate Life Concert Series that they do with the local radio station MyFM (both stations are Clear Channel owned) at downtown's LA Live's Grammy Museum. The KTLA newscasters mentioned going to the website to win passes to upcoming The Fray event. So I entered the online "contest" for a pair of passes.
That same afternoon I got an email telling me to RSVP and that I had won two passes. So the trick was trying to find someone I knew who didn't have to be at work between 8AM and 10AM on a Monday morning. Needless to say trying to fill that guest spot resulted in failure so I attended by myself. I really enjoyed the event but I have only two bones to pick with the people putting on the event.
1. Brief the artist on the schedule and the CHARITY
2. If the audience isn't allowed to shoot photos and will get yelled at quite sternly by security, tell them BEFORE hand that photography will not be allowed while in line and in the email.
The Jack's Mannequin / Fray show down in Irvine's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater was quite excellent. I love that JM sped up the tempo on almost their entire set and opened with "Dark Blue."
