Rock-N-Romp

Yesterday, we went to yet another concert at the Levitt Shell at Overton Park. But this one was different. This one was a Rock-N-Romp. Click here to read the coverage from the paper.

Rock-N-Romp is when parents get together in a backyard for a concert they would have gone to a club to see were it not for having the kids along. Instead of going out to a bar, Rock-N-Romp brings the bar to the parents and makes it family-friendly in the process.

The Rock-N-Romp yesterday was in a very big yard (the Park) and lots of people showed up. They had kegs for the parents, sprinklers and wading pools for the little ones, and good music for all.

The lineup was: Robby Grant (of Vending Machine), Scandaliz Vandalistz, and the Kenny Brown Band.

I enjoyed our pizza picnic (Ultimate Cheese from Memphis Pizza Cafe) and I danced between bits. I enjoyed walking down the big hill, although walking back up was a little more difficult. But I was not so sure about all the big kids playing in the wading pools and sprinklers. That's okay, though, because we went swimming yesterday anyway.

It was a good day. How was yours?
