Unfortunately, I had to chair a 1-2pm work meeting so I left work right after 2pm. This cut into seeing some of the lesser-known acts that played earlier Friday. I arrived during Saint Paul and the Broken Bones show. Great horn-based soulful music fronted by a flamboyant singer/showman with a matching voice. Worth seeing again.

During intermission, I ran into an ex-neighbor Elizabeth. Elizabeth was with 2 friends and I assumed since they were about 24-25 in age that they were there to see some of the acts targeted for the younger audience (i.e., Fall Out Boy). No, they were there for Hall and Oates, and Jimmy Buffett. Then I noticed their matching Hawaiian shirts.
Hall and Oates took the stage. They were excellent and the crowd was into them. Most songs became sing-alongs. Check seeing them off the list.

I walked around during the next intermission. Kaaboo did have the acts stick to the schedule probably due to their hard shutdown of outdoor concerts of 10pm. I did find Vietnamese noodles ($10) that were tasty. But $18 for a gin & tonic didn’t make me want a gin and tonic.
Jimmy Buffett took the stage. Parrot heads were everywhere with gaudy hats and shirts. I moved about to avoid several Bro packs that were loudly talking amongst themselves. Hey Bros, enjoying the concert?
I burned out with 30 minutes left and started the walk home. Already the Lyft line was 150+ people waiting and a steady stream of cars queued into their area.
