kickin' it old school...

circa 1993. almost middle school! haha.

wow.
we've been busy--sorry to have neglected the blog!

husband and i went to the stone temple pilots concert sunday night. it was wonderful--and thought-provoking. first, the acutal event...then the thoughts! dropped the kids off at nana's...went out to nice dinner...no rushing...no kids menus...we even sat in the bar. talked. wow. then over to nokia for the concert. we were in no hurry (didn't really want to see the scrub bands) but then, neither was anyone else. got to the show...lots of folks. lots of guys. (stp appeals to the boys?) anyways, the concert was great. every song you could have wanted to hear from them...and some you loved and had forgotten about! husband and i really enjoyed ourselves.

now...some of the thoughts (some of which are funny, and some of which made me feel old!)

1) first thing husband said as we sat down was....(looking toward the pit area) "hey...weren't there seats over there when we saw elmo here?" i had to crack up. then i wondered, (as i surveyed the crowd) i bet we aren't the only people who were just here for sesame street live.

2) before arriving at the show, i had thought that husband and i might be among the oldest in the crowd. i thought, "geez, we're gonna be those old folks that we made fun of when we were teens" not that i cared, but it was a funny thought. nope. wrong. i would say that husband and i were on the YOUNG end of the audience age, unless you counted the teens that were rocking out with their parents. (quite a few of those)

3) the pit. ahhh, a mosh pit. b.i.t.d. (back in the day)....husband and i both took trips down memory lane after the show. the pit at stp was quite calm. no moshing. a couple crowd surfers...but they were not very well received. and few were successful. b.i.t.d. when we were young and dumb (and i mean young....16 ish? 18?) we were the idiots in the pit. i was the idiot crowd surfing (sorry mom!) we were the goobers rushing the stage from the lawn at what was then starplex. we went to all-day concerts in july...with just enough money for a t-shirt and gas on the way home. this show? yea, i was content to have a seat with a good-view, and a cup-holder. man, how times change!!!! husband was grateful that he could sit too. when did we get old? (smarter? nah!)

but, we had a great night out...great music and an uninterrupted night's sleep! does it get much better?
