Last night, Mayce and I trekked to Fort Worth to see Pat Green, Texas songwriter extraordinaire, play a show at Billy Bob's Texas. This was a special night because it was the 10th Anniversary of him recording his "Live at Billy Bob's" CD back in the late 90's. 
He is a Texas Country artist who is kind of a kick*ss, boot-wearin', Fort Worth kind of guy (he even ripped on Dallas during the concert!).
He is from Texas, sings about Texas, and currently lives in Fort Worth, so this concert is kind of like 'coming home' for him - and the crowd definitely welcomed him with open arms! He even has a neon sign of his name at Billy Bob's! (See below)
Yesterday was Mayce's 35th birthday, so we went out for dinner to celebrate and then on to the concert that started at 10:30pm. It was supposed to start at 10pm, but the crowd was enthralled by the Cowboys game on the big TVs - the last regular season game at Texas Stadium in Irving (they will be moving over to my neck of the woods in Arlington in their new $1.4 billion stadium next season). Unfortunately, they lost to the Baltimore Ravens, so everyone was pretty upset.
Luckily, Pat Green took the stage just a few minutes after the game ended (I bet Pat was swearing at the TV backstage just before going onstage, just like the rest of Billy Bob's!).
Here are some pics that I took at the concert - it was awesome!
This next one is my favorite pic from the night. He had a lot of energy and it was electric!!
