A Day At The Harvest Festival

The weekend before last (Nov. 21) we visited the Harvest Festival that took place at the Miami Dade Fair Expo. The event featured music, arts and crafts, independent vendors, food, and unique things that make for great Christmas gifts. Here are pictures from the event.

The event featured a few classical and vintage cars.

Lot's of country style ornaments.

A reminder of the days left to shop for the Holiday!

This antique lamp was worth $350.

These margaritaville signs were a hit. It seemed like everyone had purchased one.

Finally we approached our friends at The Nikki Bee Bowtique. Plenty of bows on sale for the little cuties and a huge success for the bowtique.

Even Santa joined in on the fun by listening to children grant their holiday gift wish.

Because there was no funnel cake I had to settle for an elephant ear and may I add it doesn't compare. Funnel cakes taste way better.

MuteMath concert

Wednesday night we headed to the MuteMath concert at Revolution and were very excited to see them yet again as we’ve seen them 3 times before. This time around we had new things to look forward to which were our VIP passes and finally watching them perform their new album, Armistice. It was also a special night for El Novio as it was his first MuteMath concert.

With our VIP passes we were let in half an hour before general admission and were treated to pizza, cold drinks, first look at the band’s merchandise, and a spot in front of the stage. AsTallAsLions were the opening band. These guys did a great job with a very animated performance full of facial expressions, grooving, and eclectic songs.

When Mutemath came out performing “The Nerve” the crowd went wild! This was the craziest crowd we’ve ever experienced at one of their concerts, with moshing, crowd surfing, sing alongs, and energetic fans. This band is known for their great live performance and yet again they did not disappoint. The set list included both new and old songs. Lead singer, Paul Meany was just as much fun as he was in the past, jumping and flipping over his keyboard, intriguing the crowd with what is known as The Atari, and jumping into the crowd with the microphone stand and all. Drummer Darren King always kills it on the drums. This time around, King had fans hold up a drum while he stood on top of it, and jumped into the crowd to crowd surf. It was one amazing concert with an amazing band. I took tons of pictures but here the best ones.
