Shawn and the boys left this morning at about 4am for Bakersfield. Kale's friend CJ went, too. All I gotta say is Shawn is one awesome Dad! They are playing at the 2009 Rockin' Root Festival at Stramler Park today. As a matter of fact, they are probably on stage right now, as they are scheduled to play at 12:15pm on Stage 4. My clock shows that it's 12:18pm.This is a pretty big deal. It's an all day festival. Tickets are $30, and there are approximately 80 bands playing on 8 or 9 different stages throughout the day. There's food, vendors, various contests (I'm sure some bikini-related ... haha), and wrestling (kind of weird). They are spending the night in Bakersfield so the boys can experience the rest of the festival. There are other big bands playing later: Taking Back Sunday, Anberlin, Saosin, Suicide Silence. I'm sure it will be an amazing experience for the boys. Shawn, I'm not so sure what he'll do to keep busy. Haha. Maybe go back to the hotel and sleep, or rent a movie? Call in some room service? I just don't see him hanging out with the boys all day and night. I will update later when I find out how it's going.

We were planning to go, but money is just too tight for us right now. :( I really wish I could have been there to see them, and to see all of the other amazing bands! (Saosin is one of my faves!)
Maybe next time! :)
Ya... we thought of the boys today and how excited they must have been!! I'm sure this experience was totally different from the other shows they have done. Well, I hope it all went well and lets all give a big "high-five" to Shawn for being so supportive!! Very cool Dad- he must be trying to get extra points right before Fathers Day.... smart man!!
