My quote of the week:


"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Cultural Event # 2


Due to the fact Cultural Events are rather subjective, I choose to do my next cultural event on a concert I went to. It may not be a cultural event of DU but it is very much a cultural event of Denver. The Concert was for the artist Trevor Hall. Trevor Hall is able to captivate even the most reluctant of audience members. The Ogden Theater was filled with adoring fans of all types, straight edged suit wearing men to couples with matching dreadlocks. The concert began and fans clamored to the stage. When Trevor hit the stage the place lit up and was jumping through till the end song. There wasn't one member in the audience not belting out his lyrics as he sang. The interaction between Trevor and his fans was phenomenal, he is so humble and really engaged everyone. The concert was one of the best things/events I've experienced at DU! The talent on the stage blew my mind and Trevor Hall's appreciation for his fans is clearly communicated when he jumped the top balcony of the Ogden Theater to surf the crowd! (into my friends hands) The drummer jammed with such passion. Every single person kept on jamming. The people that the Trevor Hall concert brings together is such a wide variety but as everyone starts singing and dancing unity is felt across the crowd and the energy created is out of this world. Keeping with his normal concert tradition, at the end left the whole audience in anticipation of an encore, which he of course obliged and appeared back on stage after a few minutes of ecstatic chanting. Still his concerts are some of my favorite things, seeing him preform in CO was such an amazing experience.
