ooooohhhhh, where to start?

first off, YES, i know that i went to a nickelback concert.

NO, i can't figure out how to justify it. i've spent months composing a post in my head as to why i would do such a thing.....and words fail.

suffice it to say that it could be the best value for your entertainment $$$ if you have a high tolerance for white trash, skanks, & beer consumption. oh, AND a bit 'o naughty language. (note to self: do NOT bring any minors along.)

that being said, where else do you find a dog the bounty hunter look-a-like? fo REAL:



the theme of the night was 'DEVIL HORNS' and jody & i dressed accordingly:


thank goodness that i conned a 'real blogger' into going (tiburon) who likes to take fantastical footage of each concert attended--unfortunately, she got a bunch of footage of my double chin. but, really, the footage of my b-i-l neal screaming and fist pumping is enough for me to post these magical clips:

(warning: middle-aged people jumping up and down. WITHOUT a support bra, i might add.)

i must also state for the record that we are STONE. COLD. SOBER. just high on life!






oh, the JOY.


truly, one of the best parts of the evening was talking with this gentleman from kearns (who's name i missed--and will regret for the rest of my life!!) who talked with us afterwards about what a great, "80's style concert" it was.

he also told us that he had a bottle of jagermeister in the freezer at home if we cared to join him--when we asked where he lived, he replied, "four blocks up and turn real subtle-like to the right."


here was the BIG FINISH to the night:
