BEIRUT!

Last year, James gave me a Beirut record for my birthday. This year, he gifted me tickets to see Beirut in concert for Mother's Day.

Tonight was the perfect evening for a concert. We parked downtown and walked to the Burton Cummings Theatre. On the way, we stopped off for some Smoke's poutine, which happened to be right in the middle of the Fringe Festival with lots of shops, people, and a live outdoor act on the stage. 

The concert itself was so goooood. And hot. The theatre wasn't air conditioned. You could see the band constantly wiping their faces and their shirts were soaked from sweat by the end of the show. The crowd was also hot. We were randomly offered a few cubes of ice from a girl sitting behind us to help cool ourselves off.

We went home afterwards for some chocolate milkshakes by James, then to Grandma and Grandpa's to be with our kids who were being babysat and spending the night.
