Neon Trees-This Weekend

This is big news. You should pretty much cancel everything and make it to this concert. It's Neon Trees, and its free! There's not really anything else you could ask for. Downtown Provo is closing off center street and the local Provo band is performing in front of NuSkin. It's going to be EPIC! So you should go. I almost didn't post this because I didn't want tons of people showing up and ruin my chances of getting good seats, but I figured that cant be helped, so everyone should just come party.
