Mummer's doing the Mummer strut down Broad St, Philly

Most adorable mummer ever

Absent from these photos…Jen and Jeremy

Last Friday, me, Nat and Major went to the Jack’s Mannequin, Paramore concert at Festival Pier in Penn’s Landing.

Here’s how it went down:

• Paper Route was great; I think I’ve now become a fan.
• Phantom Planet was fine musically, but great when it came to interacting with the crowd.
  They brought on Paper Route for a song and it was insane.
• After a long way and the arrival of a baby grand piano, Jack’s Mannequin started their set and the crowd went nuts.
• They played a new song of their soon-to-be-released album, the Resolution…beautiful song.
• After what seemed like forever waiting for them to set up the stage, Paramore played as fireworks burst behind us over the Ben Franklin Bridge.
• They played all of the favorites: Brighter, CrushCrushCrush, Broken, Misery Business, etc It was something else, one moment we were jumping up and down rocking to the song, the next they were putting us to sleep with a slow jam.
• It was a pretty sweet night, despite parking miles and miles from the venue, the expensive beer, the high school kids, and cheese wiz cheeseburgers.
