Last week Ashli and I attempted to go to see Jackson Rathbone's (Jasper in the Twilight Saga for those of you hiding under a rock!) band, "100 Monkey's" at Harlows in Downtown Sac. We were very disappointed when they had to cancel after getting stuck in the snow!! :(
So Sunday night, My friend Jen and I decided to attempt again and go see them in Stockton at the "Plea for Peace" center. We didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into, lol! We pulled into a almost empty parking lot of a warehouse with a spray painted sign about an hour and a half before the concert was supposed to start. We bought our tickets and waited in the car until about 10 minutes before the doors opened. We got to watch the band "smoke" outside the venue... and even had Ben G. one of the members come over and chit chat us.... okay so he was really asking us not to take any pictures of them smoking because they have an "image" to uphold for their young fans..... um how about we try NOT smoking!?
The place was TINY and smelled um... lovely but all of that was okay because it was awesome and basically like we were hanging out in a friends garage listening to their band! There were 2 awesome local groups that opened for them. Suddenly Seymour and Skouts Honor. Hope to see both of them again soon!!
Needless to say the band was awesome. I was amazed at how they just rotated instruments around. Jackson played: keyboard, bass, trumpet, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, drums and sang vocals! VERY awesome! Key notes: Jackson wore his glasses the entire concert... hiding a black eye!?. He also had a plastic Jesus on his belt haha. He has a "thing" for sticking his tongue out. He has the BEST teeth and smile! They were ALL very talented musicians! I can't wait to see them again!! Pretty sure this just made my whole obsession worse :P I love my Kellan... but wow... Jackson was pretty awesome too!! Hope you enjoy the pictures and video!!!

you know what happened in his eye?
The story is that some guy tried to steel his guitar and Jackson chased the guy down and got a punch in the face in the chaos but got his guitar back
Oh My Gosh! That's crazy! Go Jackson!
