It's hard to believe that it's been sixteen years since this photo was taken. As has started to become a tradition, Cassidy and I went to a concert of her choice for her birthday. This year's pick: Christina Perri at the Newport. Standing room only. For you out-of-towners, the Newport is a pretty cool place to go when you're young and don't mind sticky floors, no seats, and very close quarters. (It also happens to be where Chris and I got engaged.) It's an old theater -turned-run-down-rock-venue.
Because it's just not that cool to hang with your Aunt in a place like this, Cassidy invited her friend Courtney along and they had a great time. I scored some major bonus points when I agreed to let the girls stand on the floor without me. Naturally, I hovered nearby the whole night, watching like a hawk, periodically requiring them to check in via text, which they did without fail.
Cassidy - You are an amazing young woman and I am so proud to be your Aunt. Thanks for letting me share your birthday with you. I hope I'm always cool enough to tag along once in a while... ; )

This was Perri's last night touring. This publicity photo above was taken during the last encore Sunday night. (On a personal note, you know you've hit the big time when your employer has a permanent billboard in the Newport across from the Bud Light banner.)
