Saturday:

WAS THE TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA CONCERT. Yes yes, no more caps. I was to pick Amanda up at noon & as soon as I headed out the door I was concerned. You see it was raining. We were forecasted to have "flurries" ha yea right. I pick up Amanda and we head to Jose Peppers to eat some lunch before the concert. As we're driving there I notice that the rain is changing to snow. UGH. The good news is that dad had purchased insurance for my car the day before :) We get to Jose's and dad texts Amanda saying it's supposed to do this all night long. I'm trying to stay positive but I really don't want to have to leave the concert early. It was downtown Kansas City at the Sprint Center & I love TSO. We'd left in plenty of time so we just take our time going to the Sprint Center and we got there about 2:30 and it didn't start until 3.

We got in the souvenir line & I bought dad some drum sticks and myself a T-Shirt. Amanda ended up getting a ornament. We made our way to our seats after a bathroom break of course and settled in to enjoy the show. We went the first time in 2006 and we had floor seats. Well all we really got to see was the lights and not a whole lot more. This year Amanda got seats in the first raised section off of the floor & they were amazing. You could see so much more from there than our other seats. Of course the show was fantastic! They even played a new song called Enchanted Night that's going to be on their new cd (Night Castle) and of course it sounded phenomenal. The only problems we had were that the lady beside Amanda who had bathed in old lady perfume kept huffing when people clapped which I still don't get & that I got sick in the middle of the concert.

Keep in mind that I don't do well with strong smells. The old lady sitting beside us really did bath in perfume it was beyond anything you could imagine. That alone didn't make me sick it was the addition of the coconut hand sanitizer that the lady in front of us used after going to the bathroom. The two combined made me extremely nauseous and I had to run for the bathroom. HOWEVER the guy who was with Mrs. Perfume didn't want to get up so I practically had to sit in his lap to get by him. I was very annoyed because I was trying not to get sick on him.

When the concert was over we made our way to the parking garage where we proceeded to spend an hour sitting in the exact same spot waiting for the line to move. I kid you not we didn't move an inch for an hour. Twenty four minutes later we were out of the parking garage and headed home. After a quick stop at a convenience store to get some drinks since Amanda's blood sugar dropped & a pervo eye balling Amanda's ladies as she asked to use the restroom we were headed home for real. The weather cooperated and it was a mix of rain & snow the rest of the way home but it wasn't very slick.

You're not allowed to take pictures at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra & they're very strict about enforcing the rules so here's a video of my favorite song to enjoy if you don't know who they are or if you enjoy their stuff!!

So you've read the transcript from yesterday right? I thought so!! After hearing Stephenie explain the book it made more sense than it did before. There were definitely a lot of ah ha moments, even though I liked the book before she explained. As they were having people line up to get their book signed some lady with the publishing company decided to let people show everyone their shirts they made. This boy sitting by us had one that said, "I went gay for Edward Cullen" and apparently everyone thought it was the best thing they'd ever seen and had to have their picture taken with him. Which I thought was kinda funny, it's a shirt girls calm down. Any who, here's my pictures of Stephenie and Justin from Tuesday night.

Are you going to a Tim McGraw concert in the future? Then you'd better plan on behaving right otherwise Tim himself could be pulling you from the crowds and teaching you a lesson. Apparently the fan rushed to the front of the crowd where he attacked another female fan. Tim witnessed the incident then decided to take care of it.

How many people do you know would've done what Tim did? A lot of people would have stood by and not interfered. I don't blame Tim a bit for doing this. The man was out of line and someone needed to let him know that it's NOT ok to hit a woman.
