So, I know what you’re thinking. The fainting is supposed to come after an encounter with one of the coolest people on the planet, isn’t it? However, almost passing out had nothing to do with being starstruck.
Here, I’ll set the scene:
It’s our fourth year of going to Basilica Block Party hosted by Cities 97, and we are beyond pumped. Per usual, the July heat leads us straight to the food ticket booth so that we can stay hydrated. We get a piece of pizza and some drinks, run into some old high school friends, and walk around to check out the different stages. We’re looking at the schedule deciding who we want to see most and when. Ultimately, we decide on first seeing Mat Kearney, staying a bit for O.A.R., and then heading to catch the tail end of Weezer.

*It was at this time that I decided my blog post about Basilica would be on concert etiquette. But meeting Mat Kearney was way cooler. So the date on that blog post is TBD.
(Also, shout out to Becky. We wish you could have been there to experience this one with with us. But I still plan on photoshopping you in on this pictures.)
Thanks, Gina! I saw him a couple of months ago on his Just Kids Tour in Madison haha. I never dreamed I would ever get to meet him! 🙂
