Andrea Bocelli

Once again I won tickets from the KDWN radio station and Heidi Harris show! This time to see Andrea Bocelli!! Decided it was a good idea to take friend Karen because our freindship had waned lately and needed to be renewed!! Found out a few things about her too, but that's another story,,, Karen drove as my Requip makes me unable to drive after 8pm, the time of the concert! We left here at 6:15 pm and got gas, dropped Sarah at her friend's and hit the freeway, Oh my goodness!! Backed up on the exit ramp, backed up on Tropicana and it took 35 mins to go 2 miles,because everyone had to be in our lane to turn into the MGM and they were all in the wrong lane, Karen is as bad as me in no patience with jerks on the road and the so called 'nice' cars that let the fools in our lane!!! Anyway then had to park on the 5th level as the valet was full, the escalaters were broken and it was already 8:30!! Walked about 2 miles thru the casino, shops and hallways,,,finally got to the arena and there is crowds filing in , all late like us!! Funny lady takes our ticket saying, Andrea Bocelli didn't wait for you, Ha Ha! finally found our seats, some guy is in one of our seats goes oopps and moves,settle in for an AMAZING CONCERT!! Cried at various parts but it was GREAT!! We figured out during the intermission that karen and I have gone to more concerts together than with anyone else!! We saw Davey Jones,FREE I won tix,Chigago, Karen got freebies, Engelbert Humperdink, Karen's freebies, but was cancelled after we got in our seats, he was sick, and the this concert!! I have also won Bette Midler tix last summer and took Myrna.
Ok so we are on the way out of the arena like a herd of cattle, slow moving and only 2 sets of doors out!! took 35 mins to even get out of the shuffling madness, needless to say my meds make me weird on regular nights but here it is 11 pm and I am loopy by now!! We got ice cream at Haggen Daz~$16 bucks for 2 sundaes, walking out to the car I got all woozy and nauseas, that passed when we sat in the car, It took 5 mins to get to the freeway!YAA But on the way home I had her pull over and lost my sundae!! Darn,$8 bucks tossed on the side of the road! Karen is a great friend to have put up with me!!We had a great time cept for the traffic, herding and puking!! Hope I can win more concert tickets soon!!
