We had to get a picture of his fiddler for Baylee!


that was me with the pink shirt trying to get an autograph.  I've never been one big on trying to get someone's autograph but I got caught up in the moment :)

I haven't made time to post about the Kenny Chesney concert (but my sweet Tori is making Cole breakfast for me for a Mother's Day present).  It was easily one of the best nights ever!  We got to the Hard Rock about 5:00 because we were going to have dinner before and hang out for a little while.  But when we got there they were handing out wristbands for the line to get into the concert.  (It was general admission to the concert because it was in The Joint)  we happened upon the wristbands which made us some of the first like 200 people into the concert.  But we had to get in line then. So at 5:00 we got in line for a concert that started at 8:00 in a standing room only facility.  It was totally worth it and we would do it all over again!  The only downside was that we had no dinner and were STARVING by the time the concert was over.  At one point I almost passed out during Miranda Lambert so I wriggled my way out (we were right by center stage and the people were packed SO tight it was HARD to get out!) and went to the only place I could sit for a minute, the bathroom.  But in the bathroom at The Joint they have Jolly Ranchers and Starburst by the sink so I ate a couple of those and the tiny bit of sugar saved me. But the best part of the night was that when Kenny finished his normal set he continued to play for another 1 1/2 hours.  He played everything!  Travis wants to right his recording company and beg for them to publish just the songs he sang that night.  He had other band members sing songs, he had crew members sing songs, it was so awesome!  And for a little while he stood up there and sang with just him and the guitar.  By the time he couldn't sing anymore, it was 12:30! We had the greatest time, and I love Kenny even more than before (I know you all didn't think that was possible :)

I love him! I would have grabbed his butt if I was that close! I will teach Sunbeams anytime.

Um, I'm going to assume you wore ANOTHER shirt while you were tossing the pink job up for the autograph. Cuz the whole "Here's my blouse I'll just stand here in my garments" thing is having a hard time working in my head...

Sounds like you had a fabulous and possibly misdemeanored evening. Fully successful!
