Earth, Wind, and Fire

We have lived in Memphis now nearly 3 years and have never really had the desire to go to the Beale Street Music Festival, mostly because it always rains, you stand in mud up to your ankles, the pot smokers outnumber the cigarette smokers, and you are forced to press your sweaty body against the decay of Western Society.



Well this year I heard that Earth, Wind, and Fire was coming. I happen to really like them (much to James' confusion - he believes I was born in the wrong musical era). Last year I added them to my short, but growing bucket list. James, being the super husband that he is, found us some 1 day passes for Sunday. James spent hours counseling me about the fact that we may have to stand in a downpour, whatever footwear we wore would have to be disposed of, and that if we had tickets - we would be going. He also threatened to deliver Andrew himself in the mud and rain should I go into labor at the Festival. I had a really great time and I think James had an okay time :).He was a good sport at least to take his 37 week pregnant wife to a concert. And, it didn't rain on Sunday!
