So, I went to Jacksonville this weekend. I already miss it. I would love to move out there. The city really draws you in. If only I did not have to go through the Georgia licensing process. Anyway, I traveled to Jacksonville for two reasons. The first being a concert and the other was catching up with an old high school friend. Both reasons were very enjoyable. I went to a Tristan Prettyman concert. I’ve been listening to her for about 6 years now. This was my first time seeing her live, sad, I know. Anyway, I instantly fell in love with her. She has such a laid back style. I love female vocals. She is a great performer and quite beautiful. It is hard to beat that. I think she puts herself out there with her lyrics. We hide behind so many things in life and she is willing to let it all out. It is so hard for us to move away from the facades we portray to the world. We are not willing to allow the world to see our vulnerability. We want to be loved and revered by all. However, it is that vulnerability that makes us human, it allows us to make that connection with someone else. I think the vulnerability portrayed in her music has connected her to her fans. Anyone can relate to the lyrics in her music. Basically, it is her saying, this is me, love me or hate me. It is that vulnerability or realness that we all want to be connected to, but we are too scared to show it because of the fear of rejection. Anyway, I digress, the concert was great and the rest of the trip was great as well. I will definitely have to make a trip back.  Her are a few pics and a vid.
