Party Weekend

Now that I'm home from this weekend I will tell you all about it!
First we'll start with the Bachelor party:
Matt's best friend had a bachelor party this weekend. Just a bunch of friends and a campfire all singing and hanging out. While he was there I was with a few of my friends running some errands and relaxing at a house down the road.

on the way to the bachelor party I stopped at the state fairgrounds to meet a friend. she gave me a big bag full of baby boys clothes (no I don't know what it is yet but who can pass up free baby clothes?)

The next morning I drop my friend jazz off at her friends house and me and Matt take the bachelor home ,a 2 hour drive. After stopping for lunch and visiting with the bachelorettes mom we are running slightly behind schedule.  10 miles from our exit the car makes a loud POP and I am forced to pull over. One of the tires had lost its tread. since the tire was still inflated we call one of matts friends to meet us with a jack (matts jack was broken) and we proceed to limp the car the last 10 miles on the shoulder of the interstate.
luckily we had a doughnut ad that got us to the concert and back.

The Concert:
NICKELBACK with Three Days Grace and Buckcherry!
We bought floor tickets and somehow managed to make it there in time. It seemed like the gates had just opened when we got there and we didn't have to wait very long in line.
We got down to the floor and there is the stage on one wall with a runway that has a circular platform at the end. we stood against the railing next to the stage at the corner of the circular platform, up close and personal!
Buckcherry was ok, I dont know many of their songs so I wasn't quite as interested in them. Three Days Grace was great! Very energetic and got the crowd going. and Nickelback was Phenomenal! They had amazing pyrotechnics, great music selection, and interacted with the crowd well. They also passed out shots of Yeager bombs and tequila to those close enough to the stage with ID' over 21. Matt got a tequila shot.
in between the bands me and the girls next to me talked to one of the head security guys. he was real nice! later in the night I asked if there was anyway he could get me a guitar pick (the bands were throwing them into the crowd but never close enough to us.). He said they were out and then a little while later the other security guard came out and handed me two! One was Nickelbacks the others Three Days Grace!

I was afraid being that close to the stage that the volume would be intolerable.  But, it really wasn't all that loud, the bass however, made my tummy rattle all night which I'm sure the baby was none to happy about.

Me and Matt both agree that the concert was worth the aggravation of the tire blowing.

now it's time to get back to work and get some more projects done :(
