Johhny Goes To A Concert

This past Sunday I took John to a concert by Grupo Fantasma (Austin, Tx not Peru) and it was a great time. I've wanted to see them for years so now I can mark them off of my concert wish list. It was sponsored by the Tulsa Children's Museum (which doesn't actually have a building yet) and was aimed at children and families. The band encouraged children and adults alike to get up and dance or just move in the aisles in any way they felt like. About two songs in Johnny told me he wanted to dance so I took him down into the aisle and after he barely moved for a bout a minute he told me that he was done and wanted to go back to his seat. From there he did not wish to get up again and even wanted me to stop tapping my hands along with the music. Towards the end the band started pulling some of the children up onto the stage to play percussion instruments. Johnny wanted to go up on the stage but didn't want to go down front to be picked. I finally got him to go down front by going with him but it was too late. They had already gotten all that they could handle and he was not happy about it so he went back to his seat and got angry when I tried to take his picture. Still, it was a great show by a great band and at least I had a lot of fun.
