I'm throwing this week's post back to August 2010, when I attended the Backstreet Boys'
This Is Us Tour at Nautica Pavilion. It was my second time seeing them live; their stop at Gund Arena in 2001 during the
Black & Blue Tour was my very first live concert without adult supervision.
It was a beautiful summer day on the Cuyahoga River, and I felt terribly nostalgic. AveMarie's love of BSB had led me to join her for the concert, and a couple other members of our high school clique were present as well. Impromptu meetups with friends are the best!
I visited Nautica Pavilion for the first time in 2004 with a friend and saw
Modest Mouse perform. It was very exciting to be a high school graduate, arriving to the venue by boat, and having men buy me beer. My very first beer was a Michelob. I remember it was smooth and rich and tasted like freedom. Beer is not my drink of choice, but that beer in that situation was the epitome of summer.
BSB put on a good show (even without Kevin, who was my personal favorite of the group). I felt like they never took themselves too seriously, but obviously put forth a lot of effort for the fans, and the love they received from the crowd was fun and uplifting.
