Last night, I had the chance to go see an amazing performer...Jack Johnson! My roommate ended up having an extra ticket, and I gladly accepted the offer to join in the fun! I can't remember the last concert I went to...I'm thinking maybe it was Daughtry in Macon a few years ago.
Anyways, the concert was held in an outdoor venue, the Time Warner Cable Pavilion at Walnut Creek in Raleigh. It was really hot, but still worth it! Unbeknownst to me, people tailgate before concerts...is that new or am I just out of the loop?!? So, we headed to the parking lot at Walnut Creek and chilled for a few hours. Things I learned from being in the parking lot before a Jack Johnson concert....Jack Johnson has a very eclectic mix of fans and Cornhole is a very popular game in North Carolina.
Our crew...Brett, Scott, Shannon, Elizabeth, & Nick.
Tailgaters and Cornhole
After a few hours in the parking lot, we headed inside to secure a good spot on the lawn and to get excited for the concert! ALO was the opening act and they provided some good music. G-Love followed...and for the life of me, I can't figure out why someone would self-name himself something that looks like "glove", but whatever. He was alright.
Hanging out before the show.

G-Love...the second act
Finally, it was time for Jack Johnson!! I can honestly say it was one of the best concerts I've been to! I really appreciate artists that sound exactly the same live and on their albums. Jack Johnson put on a good show and I really enjoyed it!
To The Sea Tour!
Jack Johnson!!! 
Singing one of my favorite songs...Banana Pancakes!
I think everyone enjoyed themselves!
He closed the concert with my favorite song...Better Together!!
It was a great night and I'm glad I got the chance to go!
