The Continuation of my Perfect Night

I didn't get any pictures at the concert. I was so mad because they wouldn't let me take in my camera. Only cell phone cameras and disposables were allowed. What a bummer! I could've taken some AWESOME pictures. Then I would've been like a teenager and pasted them all over my walls.

The name of the opening band was Antigone Rising. I've only heard one of their songs on the radio, and they were fun, but I was too busy paying attention to Rob while they were singing. A few ladies that were sitting behind me had come down and sat about six seats to my right. I had no idea what they were doing, because it was on the side of the stage where all of the control panels were. I looked down at them and they motioned for me to come sit by them. To our suprise, there was Rob, standing by the controls with a beanie on. Maybe so he wouldn't be recognized, but obviously that didn't work. I could've jumped right over the wall and touched him--He was that close! Of course, I'm too shy to do anything, so the ladies (who were drunk, might I add) were saying his name. I think for a while he was ignoring them, and I was embarrassed by them so I went back to my seat. BIG MISTAKE! As soon as I sat down, Rob turned to them, smiled and waved. MELT MY HEART! At least I was still close enought to see, but dang it! A minute later, he pulled out a cigarette, lit up, and stood there and smoked while he watched his opening act. I felt like a school girl with a crush. I was all giddy with butterflies and all. It isn't every day you are 10 feet away from your favorite singer!

The best part of all this is that my cute husband sat there and laughed and let me have my little crush. He didn't understand all these women with this crazy obession with one man. He thinks it's so funny that everyone goes crazy, just because the man sings good. ( I think he looks good too, but I guess Ray doesn't see that).

After the concert, we cranked my Rob Thomas cd. We drove around till we found a Denny's and shared a piece of carrot cake. On a scale of 1-10, I'd have to rate this date an 11. It's taken me two days to come off of my cloud. I hope it's not TOO long before I get to climb back on again.
