Concert Stuff

Tom Petty was awesome!!! Go ahead and make fun of me for going to see someone that old, and YES, Tom was looking pretty frail, I don't care! That concert kicked much ass. Brad and I had a great time. I'm ready to go again. Some of my friends here and my brothers made fun of us for going to see Tom Petty. They think he is a has been and we are getting old.... one of my friends even said something about us having to fight our way through the walkers and canes to get to our seats.... BLAH on that one. We were right up front on about the 5th row, just left of center stage....awesome seats. Got some great photos and video clips. Hopefully I'll be able to get them up here for you guys to see.

Was an interesting trip. Tip to everyone....reserve your room ahead of time! We didn't do that this time and almost ended up having to sleep in the van....*down by the river*. There were more people at that concert than have ever been in that venue before and there were no rooms anywhere. Considering there were only 5 hotels in the immediate area...totally understandable. We got the last room available. I was very happy! We also saw a nasty head on collision. Got to watch as the firemen dragged a person out of the car and put them on the stretcher...kinda freaky. Other than that was a great outing for us.

Got paid one of the best compliments by a kid standing in a group of his buddies. As we walked by he says: "I hope my wife looks like that when I'm 42." Now, it was kinda crappy that he put our ages at 42, but I decided to take it as an overall compliment. Coming from someone who looked all of 16, it had to be.

Going to this concert got me to thinking...who all have I seen in concert. So..here is a list, not really a meme or anything like that, but I'm gonna give you all my list *the good, the bad, and the 80's* and I'd like to see yours. Besides the first one, this list is in no particular order. Link me if you make one! Yes, I know I was a semi metal head......I was in highschool between the years 84 and 89 everyone was! There is also a huge gap... from when I was married the first time til I met Brad...didn't go to concerts besides Green Day.... I don't know why my first hubsand and I didn't....
