Dazed

Wow again! Looking at a few pictures this morning from my sister's camera that weren't of my head, leg, the floor....etc! I was attempting to make breakfast at the same time and I burned it! :( However! I made an awesome discovery! Look at Bo's left leg in this picture. THAT IS THE SHADOW OF MY HEAD! Yes, my own little head on Bo Bice's leg. *sigh*

Then while I was checking my blog stats this morning, something I seem to be quite obsessed with these days, I noticed I had five visitors from a site called Bonafidebice! Well now you know I had to go and check that out! I assume that's because I labeled him in my post, which I intend to do again today, so welcome back if you are from that site! Yes, I joined it. Oh you KNOW I had to!!

I was so dazed last night that I left a few things out of my blog. Did I mention that I sang with Bo? I mean looked into his eyes and sang WITH him? Oh, you missed that part? Ha, sorry. Anyway! I didn't mention that the gentlemen from .38 special have aged rather well! They put on an awesome show, and had that been the only band I was there to see I would have left just as content. Well, almost as content. Really. When I first heard the commercial for this concert I turned toward the tv and said "Hey, I would like to see that." Then they mentioned special guest Bo Bice and I think I blacked out for a minute.....

I have seen a few of the 80's bands, bands that I listened to as a teen, and they were one of the better shows! Styx was at the DECC several years ago and they were awesome too. The worst I've seen was, oh crap what's their name, oh you know the ones, ballads all over the place, ball your eyes out, drape and sway at the junior high dances, AH! REO Speedwagon. Kinda pitchy, very geriatric. Yes, that is my official Aging Rock Star Idol judge commentary. Now THAT should be a show! Wait..... there was something on like that once. I remember Mike Reno from Loverboy on it. The show sucked, but I am a huge fan of Loverboy. Yes, I saw them back in...hmmm about 2001 at our fair. Yes, the fair in Superior, WI. Good show! Could have seen "Foreigner" last summer, but I ended up in the country having a bonfire instead. *grumble*

On a side note, Thia should have gone home from idol last week, period. I can't believe the judges used their save so early in the show. I also can't believe I missed the drama of it all because I thought I could just jump in the shower, because Thia was going home. I didn't even find out who left/didn't leave until the wonderful buffet at Black Bear Casino last night. Vicki informed me over the cold shrimp plate we shared. Vicki: Seriously there was so much drama I was in tears! Me: YOU cried? Are you pregnant? Vicki: NO it's the hormones after having the kids. It sucks. Me: I'd cry too if I had kids. I hope this shrimp is o.k. or you and I are in big trouble. :)

One other weird thing happened and it was a odd note to the whole night for me. This isn't just my drama showing, Vicki and Kate can swear to it. We were sitting in our show seats, gabbing before the start, and I notice a guy who looks very familiar. It was Leon's double, same stance, same look, little more gray, little less belly, but man. Had to be a relative. I forgot about it during the Bo portion of the concert, but then saw him again when I returned to my assigned seat. I said to Kate on the way home, " This was the perfect night to forget my life and just enjoy myself....... and there stands a guy who looks exactly like Leon. No matter what I do I can't escape it."

Thanks to my girls for coming to the concert with me! It was an awesome time, and I did need you for more than "the ride." :) P.S. The shrimp was great!
