Bye-Bye!

Leaving for Tulsa to see Elton John & Billy Joel tonight!!!!! Yipppee!!!!!! I hope to share pics when we get back!
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

The Pianoman & The Rocketman

I'm sooo stoked! I bought tickets this morning for us to see Billy Joel & Elton John in concert in Tulsa on St. Patrick's Day!!! I just couldn't pass up two of my favorite legends so close to home! My parents saw them years ago and loved the show.


From the website:
They will open the concert with a series of duets, playing twin pianos and trading vocals. Each artist then will perform a set with his own band. A grand finale brings the two superstars and their supporting musicians back together for a closing encore. This includes some of both their greatest hits along with an unpredictable selection of rock ‘n’ roll classics.

Therun-onsentenceofwhathappenedlastweek:)

I'm still alive! I can't remember the last time I went a week without posting! This week was eventful...
I got to have lunch with my best friend, Tori. It was so nice to talk and chill with her for a while.

Then on Wednesday I worked and then went to the Wal-Mart shareholder's concert with my parents & sister. I got to see Journey! They were so good! The new lead singer sounds just like Steve Perry and the story about him is inspiring!
All American Rejects opened for them (who? I'm the only one who doesn't know them I guess! I don't listen to that station. Anyway...) And they surprised us with One Republic! They came out and sang 3 songs (2 of which are on the radio & I love them both. May have to invest in that cd) It was a fun night.



Then Thursday, I worked & got off early & went to Party City in Fayetteville & bought more Backyardigans themed stuff for Mason's upcoming birthday, grabbed some food from McAlister's & met up with my family again to go to another W-M concert-- Carrie Underwood & Keith Urban! Besides waiting in 40 mph winds and standing in line 35 minutes for a bottle of water, it rocked! Carrie was so cute and Keith was too! He is such a great guitarist & put on a wonderful show. He came out to the audience several times and even gave a fan the guitar he was playing!!




I forgot my camera both nights (what's up with me lately?!?) so I took some pics with my phone. I'll share them as soon as I figure out how to do that. I'm still getting used to my new phone. ( I did NOT take these pics) So Wayne & Mason got to spend 2 nights together without Mommy. I heard they went great.

Foo Fighters Concert

Friday night's Foo Fighters concert ROCKED!!!! It was well worth the wait and even better than I anticipated! They really put on a great, high-energy show that was also funny. There were only two bad things: #1 my camera didn't make it through the frisking (that's right--everyone got frisked before the show!) and #2 they did not play my very favorite song of theirs, Best of You. :( I had to take my camera back to the car (along with most other people) So needless to say, I did not take these awesome pics below! They are taken from the Foo website--but they're pics from the concerts they played right before coming here--so they're very recent and look very much like what we saw. They played all of their hits--more old songs than new (with the excpetion of MY fave song! Yes, I'm a little bitter but I'll get over it since the concert was so good.)

The triangle solo guy (Dave made him come to the front of the stage and play a mean triangle solo--he said he makes him do this all the time and I guess he was telling the truth since this pic was from another concert!) It was funny.

And hmmmm...here's their set list. Look at the last song. Best of You. Hmmm...they played it a few nights before coming to Fayetteville. Rrrrr!


To see the Foo Fighters sing "The Pretender" on Letterman, go HERE.
To see a funny duet Dave sang with Will Ferrell (Leather & Lace!) go HERE.

Happy Leap Day!

This day only comes along every 4 years, so make it a good one!
Tonight we are finally going to get to see the Foo Fighters in concert!! I'm anticipating a fun evening. We're going to go out to eat first and my mom's going to watch Mason for us. I hope they allow cameras because I want to take lots of pics to share!

No Foo Fighters Tonight :(

Well our evening out has gone down the drain....the Foo Fighters are sick and must reschedule. I totally understand though and Dave (we're on a first name basis) wrote a very nice little letter on their website explaining. (posted below)
I think we may still go out to eat for dinner, since we have a babysitter (my mom) and we were all geared up for a fun night out.

From foofighters.com:
Jan 27, 2008 – Fayetteville, AR and Oklahoma City, OK Shows Rescheduled:...

Jan 27, 2008 – Message from Dave regarding postponed shows...
Current mood: Dazed
Current temperature: 101.1

Hey everybody.....

Laying here in my Nashville hotel room, sick as a dog, but I had to write you all something, because anyone who knows this band knows we RARELY ever cancel gigs. Someone's gotta be pretty thrashed in order for that to happen.

Well........yours truly is down for the count. Big time. The last thing in the world I want to do is jump up on stage and give you guys some half-ass version of what a Foo's show is all about. That's just not fair. And, it would break my heart. Unfortunately, in my current (crappy flu) condition, you wouldn't be getting the show you guys deserve. And, that's the most important thing to me.

You have my word that we'll make it up to you. We always keep those promises. I'm so sorry for any inconvenience. Knowing that you guys will be bummed makes me feel even shittier, believe me.

See you soon. Thanks, guys....... Dave

Fighting Foo

I'm so excited! Last night we bought tickets to see the Foo Fighters in Fayetteville! (say that 3 times fast!) Just a little treat for ourselves. I will definitely be posting pics after the concert on the 28th...

John Mayer Concert

Since I posted The Eagles concert pics, it reminded me that I've never posted the John Mayer concert pics from my 30th b-day in February! He is my fav singer and it was a great concert! We had good seats down low, but on the side as you can see...

The Eagles Concert

I was so excited to be able to see one of the best bands EVER!!!!!!!!! The Eagles were in town for the Wal-Mart Shareholder's meeting concerts. They were so good! They played easily 20 to 25 songs--and they sounded just like the CD (which is what I like) To name a few:
Take it Easy
Witchy Woman
I Can't Tell You Why
The Long Run (my personal Fav!)
Heartache Tonight
Life's Been Good (to me so far)
Lyin' Eyes
Dirty Laundry
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Tequila Sunrise
and they saved
Hotel California and
Desperado for the encore!
Here's some pictures I took...
