Central Park brought in many different walks of life as the band, "Cake", hit the Summerstage in Rumsey Field Thursday, September 16, at around 8:00 p.m. The journey to the concert was just the half of it, after asking where it exactly was the answer was: "just follow the music," from a horse-and-carriage rider.
The area was a good escape from the hussle and bussle life in the city that we were just steps away from. Upon entry, the concert, along with the band, gave off a great vibe. My friend leaned over and said to me, "I feel like we're in a certain crowd, like back in high school." But it was not the type of clicky crowd; Cake brought people together through their music. For those who are unfamiliar with Cake's music, they are an alternative rock band from Sacramento, California who are known for their laid back but distinctive appeal.
Throughout the show, John McCrea, the lead singer, definitely accomplished a goal of connecting with the audience. After each song was over he made sure he thanked everyone for being there despite the troubled weather conditions. I had said to my friend earlier in the night, "This better be worth it," referring to the explosive rainstorm we had just got caught in, and it sure was. Cake left their crowd of fans happy and dancing after using hit singles "Never There" and "The Distance" for the encore songs. I would definitely go to see Cake play again, inside or outside, rain or shine!

Katie-
I loved the article that you wrote about. It was a very interesting piece and I could tell by your writing how enthusiastic you were about this event that took place. Only minor thing I would correct is in the beginning make your sentences a little more simplistic and to the point. Other than that I thought it was a great, interesting, enthusiastic article!
