Its a Shamu and Rick Springfield fest...

I survived the 5th grade field trip. Sadly my back, shoulders and neck did not. Quick tip: do not believe a nine dollar, thin, foam pad from Walmart will save your bones from stiffness, when you sleep on... concrete. You will be sorely "mistaken".

I did enjoy the 8 hour bus ride. Did you know kids don't sing "99 bottles of beer on the wall" anymore? I was expecting to hear it all the way to Southern California. Instead, kids were allowed to bring their ipods, Nintendo DS, cell phone, (Maddie does not own a phone...yes, accordingly to her she is the ONLY girl without one), etc and the kids were so quiet. They texted each other, and "versus" on video games.

I decided to forgo the water rides and Shamu show "soak zone" that make you so drenched, you'd have your underwear stuck to you for the rest of the day. Thankfully, their math teacher, Mr. G was kind enough to do that soggy job. I sat high (and dry) in the bleachers. Holding the ipods, and cell phones.

On to the rest of my weekend...

Saw a great concert Saturday night. Rick Springfield, Eddie Money and Lou Gramm. (John Waite was there too, but we were busy drinking Mango Mojitos and munching on appetizers with friends). Now, I sorta thought this was a tribute to the 80's but quickly reconsidered this when I heard the songs and remembered I was perhaps a bit younger when these guys were famous. Remember, 8 track?

Lou Gramm surprised me though. I thought each of his songs were: Foreigner or Boston, but who knew? He was the lead singer for Foreigner!!

The music was a little loud, wow spoken like a true old person there, whoops!

Rick Springfield is having a comeback, so if you enjoyed Jesse's Girl, you will love his new stuff, like Victoria's Secret and all the other songs where he just changes the girl's name and sings the same lyrics. Rick is now 59 and looking good for his age, I might add!

So, don't be embarrassed, tell me who you saw at your first concert. Or, first few concerts. It couldn't be any worse than my list: ZZTop, Rush, Huey Lewis,... Captain and Tennille was my first, remember "Muskrat Love"...?

Okay, comment now!
