of museums and ruckus.

Hey there!  It feels like I haven't talked to you in forever, due to this whole blog challenge thing.  Though I'm postponing it for this [awesome] post.

On Saturday, I went to see The Museum in concert for the second time.  I was totally pumped, seeing as they visited my church last year.  I'd forgotten to get my T-shirt signed, so I was hoping to get their signatures and drop a friendly "I LOVE your music!" sort of comment.

And if you don't know who The Museum is, this song might ring a bell...


Yup.  That's them :D  Anyway, they signed my shirt and I got my nice little "You guys rock!" in.  So it was pretty sweet.

But here's the ruckus -- I discovered a new band that's insanely awesome [for those who like hiphop anyway].  Their name is Rapture Ruckus, and they are suh-weet! They came all the way from New Zealand, and they all have adorable Aussie accents.  He called skinny jeans skinny pants and asked what tailgating was.  It was really cute to say the least.

During the concert, the lead singer was giving everyone high fives, and I was the last in the row.  Yes, I was in the front row. *eep* Anyway, instead of giving me a high five he shook my hand!  Nerdy as it may seem, I felt special :)

This song's on repeat right now...



Both bands are teaming up to help fight human trafficking, which is basically modern day slavery.  Over 27 million people are being forced into all sorts of labor across the globe -- even right here in America.  Check out more about it here.

So there you have it.  My splendid weekend of meeting The Museum and Rapture Ruckus.  And some eye-openers to what's really going on in our 'free' country.  Any abolitionists out there?

You're so lucky. I LOVE BOTH BANDS SO MUCH!! The closest I've ever gotten to my favorite singer would probably be in the same city, but blocked from them by a kajillion screaming fans. Great post :))
