Yesterday morning, we got up at the crack of dawn to see TobyMac and the Diverse City Band performing in Midtown for one of the morning shows yesterday morning.
TobyMac has a bit of a special place in our hearts. I saw TobyMac and DC Talk perform in 1990 when I was young and not too many people knew who they were. After DC Talk hit it big, I saw them again in 1998. Shortly after we met, Wife saw them in 2001 in one of their last concerts as DC Talk. After we got married, Wife and I went to see TobyMac in Dallas at a mud-covered musical festival in 2007 that is definitely one of the greatest, funniest memories of our marriage. Back in 2015, we took the girls to see TobyMac and Diverse City in Times Square. So, when we heard that TobyMac and his band would be here yesterday, we decided we had to get up to go see him. I'm glad we did because it is another family memory that I know we'll treasure.
As TobyMac and the band were on stage chatting with the audience in between commercial breaks some guy in the packed crowd started screaming something to the musicians on stage. Despite the guy screaming at the top of his lungs, I don't think TobyMac heard him. But Elizabeth's ears were only a few feet from the guy. Elizabeth, without missing a beat, immediately turned to the screaming guy and yelled back at him, "Dude, seriously??? Be quiet!!!"
A women next to us spoke up, "I'm glad she said it because I was about to!"
I'm glad it was a crowd there for a Christian concert. They are much more understanding as we try to teach Elizabeth that sometimes people are loud at outdoor concerts.
