Brad Paisley

Last night, Josh Turner, Sara Evans and the magnificent Brad Paisley was incredible. We started the afternoon with a nice dinner and then a entertaining drive towards are destination, Stockton, California . We arrived and parked about 20 minutes before the concert started. Unfortunately, my dad and his wife were stuck in traffic and were about 30 minutes behind us. We went inside. I would have taken pictures, but camera's weren't allowed. That in itself was bullshit. I saw several people who had smuggled them in. Next time I will bring a big purse with my camera concealed inside. We headed over to pick-up a few T-shirts. Damn they are expensive. I remember when they were $10 each. Now they are up to $35 each. Ouch. $145 later we each had a shirt with an extra one to send to Sniper and one for Lego Man. This is the one Bubba picked out for himself and Sniper. The one above is the one for Drama Queen and myself. Lego Man's has a pic of Brad on the front . He outta love that. He is not into Country at all, he's all Rap. By the time we were finished in the long line, Josh Turner was already into his 3rd song. We went to find our seats. I was fortunate to score us floor seats right smack in the middle. They were great seats, except for Drama Queen is too short and couldn't see much. She sat on her knees and was able to see until some Big Huge Cowboy with his Huge ass frickin hat sat in front of her. I let her sit on my lap. Josh Turner and Sara Evans did a great job. About this time a member of the crew came by and gave Drama Queen one of Brad's guitar picks and a set of ear plugs. He forewarned her, Brad is extremely loud and boy was he right. The whole arena shook. Brad Paisley kicked ass. We never sat the whole time Brad was on stage and boy am I feeling it today. We all had a great time. One of my coworkers also went. Unfortunately for her, they forgot the tickets at home and had to drive a 2 1/2 hour round trip back to get them. She did make it 10 minutes into Brad's set. Poor thing. On the drive err sitting in the parking garage and major traffic, Bubba & Drama Queen decided to play with my camera. This morning I asked Drama Queen if she had fun. Yep, other than it was really loud and she just about went deaf. She also told me, "Mommy, you were loud and crazy last night. You screamed too much." I told her, "Just wait until Toby Keith in September. Mommy will be beyond nuts." I don't know who is more excited on that one. Drama Queen loves Toby. Her favorite song, "American Soldier." I bet we all could have guess that one. Today, my body is hating me for what I put it through. My voice is hoarse and my feet and legs are killing me. Yep, I took the day off to recuperate. dyzgoneby 320 days until Sniper can enjoy this with us
