GARTH RULES!

It's reported that Garth sold out NINE - count 'em - NINE - shows at the new Sprint arena in KC. That's 18,000 tickets, 9 nights, $31 a ticket - over $5 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother and sister-in-law, Mike & Diana, managed to get 6 tickets. Diana was just a tad bit excited. I wish we could go, but November is a busy month at the ol' Eagle, and it's hard to get time off.

Favorite Garth memories anyone? Mine is Brandon, about 3 years old, playing one of those electronic Playskool (I think) guitars - singing "Friends in Low Places". I've got a picture (somewhere) of him standing in front of the TV watching a Garth concert and playing that little guitar.

I guess one reason I like Garth is that he's never gouged his fans on ticket prices to his concerts. Let's face it, he could have charged $100/ticket in KC and still sold out 9 shows! That would have amounted to over $16 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you know why I think Garth rules!

It's a Friday night, I think the 9th. Hey, that's when you'll be here, isn't it? The concert was scheduled for Wed. Nov. 14th, but I think the shows they added were before the orig. date. I think they start on the 7th or 8th...

I waited in the rain all night long back in the spring of '91 for tickets when he was here (Martina was with him).
My fave memory of Garth... it was his song "Friends in Low Places" that got me to give country music the time of day anyway. :)
... I took his glass of champagne...

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
