American Idol on Tour

For all you reality fans out there.... here's a news flash!  A couple of my girlfriends, their daughters and I went to see American Idol winner, David Cook, when he came "home" to Kansas City at the concert held at the Sprint Center.  I didn't know they made seats that high up!  It was downright scary.  The ride up there in the escalator was so terrifying that we had to take the elevator down, no matter how long the wait.  OK... next time we'll cough up the extra dough for the good seats.  But, hey!  We were there to scream with the best of them as David rose up through the stage floor, wearing his Kansas City Chiefs jersey, among the smoke and fanfare.  It was awesome.  Who needs to be a teenager.... we "girls" know how to have fun!  I would post a picture of the Idols (all the other 9 were great, too, but I'm a little too biased to give the others a line here.....) but my camera can't take decent photos that far away.  Anyway, here's one of us at the Sprint Center - not the best quality because iphones don't have flashes - and be sure to check out the T-shirts that the girls are wearing.  Yes, we had an Archaletta fan among us.  We love our Davids.

Keith Urban Rocks Kansas City!

Last night, to celebrate our 17th Anniversary (which is actually today), Terry surprised me with tickets to the Carrie Underwood/Keith Urban concert in Kansas City. We had awesome seats (a million thanks, Debby!!) and Josh even babysat Caleb for us. The concert venue was the brand new Sprint Center. We hadn't been to a concert in a while and had fun during pre-show text messaging to the big screen on stage [they displayed Terry's "Happy Anniversary" message to me] and Keith Urban taught us the "cell phone wave." Concerts are getting so high tech these days. We love Carrie and she was good, but not even in the same league as Keith Urban. He was so down to earth and generous with his fans [he gave a guitar to a woman sitting just down the end of our row]. The quality of his show was top notch. We give the concert 2 big thumbs up!
