Stop the talking and start the squawking!

That was for nick.
This was Bon Jovi's line as he ended his opening dialogue with us and started slammin' on his guitar...it was awesome! As much as I feel like I have a hangover this morning (no, no actual alcohol was involved), I so needed that last night. Who knew a rock concert was all a stay-at-home mom needed to get back in the game?!

My observations:

- Daughtry has only improved since his AI days- what can I say, I've got a thing for bald guys! He's a pretty intense performer and a perfect opener for Mr. Bon Jovi.

- Speaking of Jon, he was different than Denten or I anticipated. He was great, don't get me wrong, but there were elements to him I wasn't familiar with. First, he's a little cheesy. And he's bigger than I remember. Granted, I've never actually been that close to him before, but I remember a small, tight little guy.. perhaps it's age.

- The man can not dance. He can sing, play the guitar, flirt with the camera like it's nobody's business and put on a fantastic show, but really, when he moves I am taken right back to aerobics class. Seeing as I also lack this talent, I appreciated the fact that Denten says I move just like Bon Jovi.

-His hair was a little too short- yeah, this goes against my bald guy thing, but if it's gonna be long, let it at least flop around a little when you're working out on stage! His smile, however, was still pretty. Yes, pretty. He melted the hearts of more than one middle-aged woman in the audience.

- Richie Sambora can play the guitar. I mean really play. I've never had a desire to sit and listen to the electric guitar, but this guy has skills and it was awesome watching him play. He looks a bit like an old guy, but hey, judging by the age of the women flaunting their breasts at him, he's been around a while!

- We had awesome seats, despite the fact that we were positioned "behind the stage." We were closer to the performers than anyone else save the drooling women in the first 10 rows on the floor. When you're close enough to see them sweat, you now you're in a good spot. We also had a great view of the majority of the audience and that in itself was fantastic entertainment. I asked denten if he would be offended if I had worn a "Mrs. Bon Jovi" shirt- he said it would be fine. He'd divorce me, sue me for all my husband's money and live happily ever after. Hm. I'll work on that. My little heart was not, however, going pitter-pat as so many in attendance. Granted they were all at least 15 years older than me and swooning like a 13 year old.

- My ears were ringing all night, but the electricity in that place was fantastic. If you desire another's opinion on the evening, you may check out Shellie, Amy G., Alicia or Janna... all in all, I had a great time! And as for Shellie's "moment," I'll let her have it, although I'm sure the eye contact was directed unmistakably toward yours truly.
