Easter Weekend

My family and I were at a concert on April 7, 2023 for my sister Marin’s birthday which was the next day.
The concert was at a venue in downtown Richmond called the National. the national does not have a bad seat as all general admission tickets are pit tickets.
The main band of the concert was Judah and the Lion a favorite band of my family’s ever since they released their hit songs suit and Jacket and take it all back.
