Live From Philadelphia...Radio 104.5 Winter Jam 2012

Hey there!

Sorry posting has been so crazy; I'm back at school for the semester, so I barely have time to do necessary-life things, like showering, eating, sleeping, and breathing. However, last weekend, I did manage to get away to Philly with a couple friends to attend the totally awesome (and totally free!) Winter Jam 2012, hosted by Radio 104.5 at the Piazza. Suhweet!

Lineup included Rivers Monroe, fun., and New Found Glory (however, you won't find any pictures of NFG because I was too busy being tossed around in a roiling sea of drunk Philly concert-goers! Wee!) 

Stage at Winter Jam 2012 in the Piazza.

First up was local indie rock band, Rivers Monroe.

Next up was who I came to see: fun. (Above: lead singer Nate Ruess.)

Nate Ruess of fun.

                                            

 I love going to Philly. I love the sights, the sounds. The bustle of a city that still manages to feel like home. 

A bike rack is ready for winter despite the warm temperatures in Philly that day. 50 degrees!

I am all about old/vintage cars, and I could not resist this one parked outside Lorenzo's. Totally reminded me of some sort of "Philly Mob Boss" vehicle.

I love coffee shops. So. Much. 

South Street is colorful.

I feel as though this record store has every record ever made since the start of recorded time. (Pun intended).

Random faux-animal tail on the sidewalk. Just finding treasure on the sidewalk in Philly.

B-E-A-U-tiful day in the city!

Nash Ambassador. Mmm vintage.

This is Doug. Doug belongs to my friend's cousin, who graciously allowed us to stay in her apartment over the weekend while she was away on business.

Doug was probably as big a highlight for me that weekend as going to the show. What a neat cat.

Here's part of fun. & NFG's lineup:
