Help us, thank you and WOW!
In today’s What I know… I’m warning friends about wedding plans thus not avoiding their Christmas parties, telling you what I thought of last night and thanking you!
What I know … the December 11th edition, eight days before I get married:
Tonight is the last Christmas party until we get back from the wedding. Joanna leaves for Austin Sat morning. I pick up the kids from the airport on Wednesday and spend time with them until I head down to the wedding site. You are sooo Lucky Lubbock Mustang Club, we are able to fit you in tonight.
I’m sorry to the many people we had to turn down, but Joanna’s going to be gone and I want to spend some quality time with the kids before the wedding.
And my deepest apologies to Matt…
I know that I promised to make your party this year, but you scheduling it on my WEDDING DAY, even though you were INVITED to the wedding seems wrong. Or maybe you are doing it because of it… And I TOLD YOU that the Browns would beat the Steelers. HAHAHAHAHA Dinner is on you when we get together next.
Trans Siberian Orchestra
Last night was a sight and sound extravaganza. TSO put on one of the most amazing shows last night at the USA. Joanna would have like to hear Wish List. I was scared about the lack of “play” and fun portion of the program as TSO concentrated on some of the new songs from their album Night Castle. They were in the middle of 8 shows in 5 days, and when you are the 4th show in, fatigue has already set in.
I was extremely impressed with the new violin players that TSO – West had picked up for this year. They won me over with the “play” piano section where Patrelli highlighted his wife’s incredible talent. Though it isn’t a guitar battle (three years ago) or piano battle (two years ago) … it was amazing.
The additional trucks that they had to have for the video presentation was money well spent. I think that the images of marching toy soldiers was really good.
I love listening to comments of people as they walk out. Most of them are, “Wow,” “Now I understand what you are talking about Dad,” and “We’re getting tickets next year!”
But the best comment of them all , from a 40 year old man, last night was “This is the closest thing that mom and dad would come to an acid trip!”
I couldn’t help but start laughing.
Then I was stunned into ewww mode.
Now the USA has catwalks that go to stairs that escort people from the second level to the main concourse level.
The USA staff had turned on the fans to suck out all the smoke and haze from the USA and with the wind caused a fairly plump 40 year old woman’s dress to fly up…
and show those of us who heard her gasp…
her lack of underwear.
Ladies, if you can pound down a dozen donuts and call it a snack, for the sake of those around you. WEAR UNDERWEAR!!!
All I could think of was Wynonna’s Big Brown Beaver from Primus.
Thanking You!
For the record, I’m not nervous about the wedding. I have to thank my family, friends and co-workers for supporting me during this Perfect Storm of events and things till the New Year!
First it was big work event, followed by TSO, followed by the kids, then the wedding.
You guys are making this EASY!
So let me ask you one more time to get me your song titles for the music that you want to hear at the wedding.
Otherwise…
It’s hearing the 17 song play list over and OVER again!
Love, Luck and Lollipops , ROCK ON!
