6/15/11 - T. Swift!!!

Today was the day...the day of my very first real concert. I was literally on pins and needles all day, I just couldn't wait! I was a kid in a candy store. I ended up taking a half day off so I could do our weekly Target shopping, get home, do a little cleaning, eat some lunch and take my time getting ready.

I found a bunch of cheap pool and sand toys at Target, and snatched those up. Got my and the girls' father's day cards and a little extra gift for Christian (the Twins game on Sunday is his actual gift), and the usual food and necessities. I really think I could spend all day, and every penny I have, at Target. I swear, we'd go broke if I actually bought everything I wanted! LOL

Finally, I was showered, "gussied" up and ready go to. I met Nate and Gini at his parents' house so he could drive us to the show. We arrived, and had no idea what to expect. Gini's been to a million concerts, but nothing like Taylor Swift. The first guy to play was a solo artist, Randy Montana. He was REALLY good. Then, NeedtoBreathe took the stage, and I really enjoyed them...they had a different sound, and were actually very good as well. Then, finally, Taylor took the stage. It was actually a really great show. She had a costume and stage chance for almost every song, with a fun surprise entrance every time she came back. She walked through the crowd to the other side of the stadium to play a few songs, then came back. Her encore included my favorite song of hers, "Fifteen". And, she ended the show by getting into the "flying" balcony, and floating around the stadium, over the crowd (including us because our seats were AMAZING).

I couldn't believe how great the show was. Even Gini, who was a little apprehensive about going to a Taylor Swift concert, thought the show was really good, and was pretty impressed with her. I mean, she plays a ton of different instruments, writes her own songs, and puts on a pretty great show. All in all, it was a great night!

We got out of the show a little before 11:00 (it took FOREVER just to get out of the stadium), and I finally got home a little after 11:30. Pumped, and PASSED out. My plan is to go in late tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

Here are some of my favorite concert pics. They aren't the best because I didn't bring the good camera, but it did the job.
