The concert

What a most awesome night!  There are WAY too many pictures up there, but keep in mind that I took over 190 in all.  35 doesn't seem so bad now, does it?  It was smoky (manufactured, not cigarette) and there are some obstructions, but I got a lot of good ones.  I am one HAPPY camper this morning.

I will try not to bore you to death, but here are some concert etiquette suggestions, some observations, and some general thoughts from last night:

1. Old ladies should NOT hold their arm up with the "devil horns" sign through an entire concert. You look ridiculous and I'm trying to take pictures of the hottest man on earth.

2. If your child is going to kick off her flip-flops to stand on her chair, said flip-flops will be soaked in beer when she puts them back on.

3. No, it was NOT my beer.  I didn't pay their elevated prices. 

4. Plastic doesn't always work.  The Tshirts were "cash only" and I feel cheated.  Who wants to go into a crowd of 10,000 people with a wad of cash on you?

5. A good, loving husband is an amazing thing to have around.  I can't believe he drove that far, waited that long, and put up with all of that for a country concert.  He doesn't listen to country!

6. A fat drunk girl, charging the stage, won't even get close.  She'll get ejected from the building.  Even if she begs on the way out.

7. Watching your daughter high-five Craig Morgan as he sings his way down the aisle is a priceless thing to see.

8. Old, drunk people dancing is both sad and amusing.  Take some lessons or something, would ya?

9. Trace without a shirt makes my knees weak.

10. No matter how many comments I make about his hotness, or how weak in the knees he makes me, I would NOT leave my husband for him.  I bet he wouldn't drive me to St. Joe for a concert, or buy Burger King at 1:00 in the morning on the way home.  I bet he wouldn't put up with my comments about another man.  I bet he's not half the man that Kevin is.  A couple of hours to find out wouldn't be bad, but then I'd be RIGHT back here at home.  Honest!

I really enjoyed this entry. Your pics are great...and those guys are both damn good lookin'!!
How cool it is to both take your daughter to a concert!  She will remember that forever.  Nobody I know takes their kids to a concert.  You watch, when she's older and going on her own with her own friends, she'll mention "My mom and dad to me to this concert when I was nine" and they'll all say "NO way....how cool!"
Really enjoyed reading this.

Shirtless men do nothing for me unless they weigh over 300 pounds...it's a thing with me.

Those were really some great seats for sure. I've always called that hand thing "Dio Fingers" because Ronny James Dio invented them back in the 80's. Why someone would use them at a country concert is beyond me. I was happy to see that you got to listen to Godsmack on the way there.
