It was a wet and chilly time outside the Phoenix last night, but despite the constant drizzle, fans of the bands and music lovers from far and wide devotedly waited in line with their trusty umbrellas. The rain seemed to be bumming people out, so we started to serenade the lineup with positive rain-related songs. Its rainin’ men. Halleluiah!

I thought I had a decent umbrella until I saw some of the umbrellas people brought last night! Some of them could probably shelter a handful of people quite comfortably. Some looked like they belonged on the beach, protecting entire families from the sun. Some were massive, like decent-sized hotel suites with room service and everything! My umbrella is miniature, flimsy, and purple. OF COURSE the colour matters! It’s a fact that purple deflects precipitation better than any other colour, you know.

All in all, the night was alive with people and music. The beats and bass rumbled from inside the Phoenix and carried a sunshiny energy to everyone outside in the rain. Umbrellas all over the city got to come out of hiding to do what they do best, and the night came to a satisfying close with a performance by Temper Trap!

Until next time!
All my love,

Emily
