Happy Day!
I snagged free tickets to the CheapTrick concert in town! The local radio station here had their van at an intersection across town giving out free tickets to those that arrived before they all ran out and thankfully I got there early and snagged a couple.

Bob and I went to the first concert in OMG 2 decades! Shit, can you believe that? 20 freaking years! The band members though a bit older than I remember them rocked! I was up on my feet shaking that thang! Singing, I want you to want me! As well as their other big hits of my day. They had a great opening act! The Damnwells from Brooklyn, NY! Unfortunately the zoom on my digicam wasn't up to the challenge of taking pics that were clear enough. Otherwise I'd have posted some here for y'all. I tried to snap some of the opening act for my daughter I just knew she'd love the lead singer.... I know I thought he was a hottie and I'm sure I'm old enough to be the boys mother but you gotta say so when it is true? Am I right or am I RIGHT?! They had some great music too.

There are some great old bands appearing here this summer and I hope to see more of them. Lynard Skynard, Foreigner, Huey Lewis and the News, REO speedwagon just to name a few. I'm looking forward to making up for lost time and seeing as many of them as I can.
