TWILIGHT CONCERT SERIES

Salt Lake City does some amazing things.

Every year they put on the Twilight Concert Series at Pioneer Park. It's every Thursday night from mid July until late September and it's $5. You hear that? It's $5. Total.

It used to be free, but they began charging money last year - probably to keep out the homeless people, Juggalos and people that didn't want to actually watch the show.

They always have some great bands and this year is no exception. Belle & Sebastian - a band from Glasgow, Scotland that I love - kicked things off last night, so of course I went. Blitzen Trapper opened, and I'm not a huge fan of theirs, so I mostly wandered around the park to take part in favorite pastime - people watching.

Luckily for you, I documented the whole thing via Twitter.

Tonight I start my Twilight Concert tradition of winking and smiling at every cute girl in hopes of becoming a Craigslist Missed Connection.

I may have to rethink this "wink and smile" strategy. It looks like 25,000 of these girls are still in high school. #TwilightConcertSeries

LET'S BE SOCIAL

There are a ton of social media sites out there. I'm on pretty much all of them, but I really only use two or three.

I have a thing about not wanting anyone else to have the username trevorhale, so whenever I hear about a new social media site I sign up immediately—even if I don't ever plan on using it. Maybe that's a dick move, but I've got a brand to protect here!

Two that I use on a regular basis are Instagram and Twitter. I like both of these far more than Facebook—mainly because I don't have to deal with bullshit, long-winded political discussions that go nowhere and repeat themselves every few days.

I still log on to Facebook every other day or so, but usually it's to repurpose a joke that I don't think got enough attention on Twitter and to accept friend requests from people that I'm probably never going to talk to in real life.

But anyway. You've got both of these things, right? Let's be Internet friends.

@trevorhale on both Instagram and Twitter.

ANYONE USE TWITTER?

Add me.
