In answer to the CONCERT question . . . . . .

On Saturday night I took my oldest daughter, Katlynn, to see Keith Anderson, Blake Shelton and Rascal Flatts.

As it turned out some friends of ours that we were going with got VIP tickets, parking passes and such. So Katlynn and I got to ride with them and didn't have to go through the parking hell. We went in and found a spot, oh I don't know a football field away from the stage!! and our friends went off to the VIP section. Some other people we know were coming and going to meet up with us so there we sat.

At about 6:30 my cell rings and it's a friend of mine that was working the beer tent for her sister, (her girls and my girls play together often so she knew that I had taken K for her bday) so anyway she says does Katlynn want to meet Rascal Flatts!! I'm like "OF COURSE" so she has us meet her at the OU tent and off we went. We followed them to the casino and in the concert room there were a couple hundred people waiting in line for a 'Meet & Greet' we were seated and told that we would get in at the end of the line and a pic would be taken and put in these Coors Light autographed cards etc. Katlynn's palms were sweating sooooo badly and she kept saying "Mom I am soooo nervous and excited" So RASCAL FLATTS finally come through the door !! Wow -(oh and I got to meet their tour manager and he was SO hot) Then the line goes really quick and it's our turn!! Katlynn wanted us in the pic together and I had to push her towards Joe Don who was talking to her and Gary and Jay also spoke, she just grinned ear to ear and says she said hi, but I didn't hear it! So I tell them that we're there as her bday gift and she's super nervous and they were unbelievably sweet! So we got our picture. I'd post it, but it's a polaroid and kind of dark. I may try later.
Then on the way back to the concert area, my friend tells me she has 2 VIP passes for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So not only did we get to do the Meet & Greet, but we got to sit really close to the stage!! in the VIP section!!!!!!! I SO OWE THIS GIRL!

We missed Keith Anderson's first few songs, and got there right before he did 'Pickin' Wildflowers' he was great. Then Blake Shelton came out and - oh man- just don't even get me started!!! (next time I want to meet him!)

Katlynn got a t-shirt - she's so sweet she got a bigger size so that after I have the baby I can wear it too! (isn't she a sweety). We danced and sang and just had a really great time. It was hot, but it didn't rain and it wasn't nearly as hot as it was supposed to be!!! The poor kid was so tired that by 11ish she was sitting down with her head in her hand almost asleep! And we were really close to the stage so it was way loud!!!

Since we parked in the VIP parking pass section getting out was easy and didn't take long. LOTS of drunk people walking to their cars!!!

I'll try and bring my stuff and scan pics tomorrow or the next day.

Oh, and I know I am old and all that but "JOE DON ROONEY HAD HIS ARM AROUND ME!!" silly I know, but hey in person he is hot.
All in all those three guys are so nice.

I guess I'll quit gushing now. One more thing, all night that night Katlynn kept looking at me going "Mom, we got to meet Rascal Flatts!" and then the next Monday she wore her shirt and was the talk of the class!! So I made her week. She thinks I rock!!!!
