we had a fantastic time at the faith hill/tim mcgraw concert saturday night. i bought tickets several months ago, but by then they were almost all sold out. however, i was quite disappointed to discover we were in the VERY LAST row at philips arena. this was our view of the stage:

bummer. that was not going to dampen our enthusiasm, though! now, i am deathly afraid of heights. deathly. so, being all the way up at the top was not so good for me. apparently, many others were scared of being up that high too. two girls were next to us on the left, and one grabbed onto my shoulder when she was walking by us. i didn’t blame her. i would have too. we chatted with them from time to time, especially when we were laughing at the *incredibly* drunk woman right next to me. i lost count of how many beers she had. she was screaming her head off and waving her budweiser bottle in the hair because that’s not redneck at all. she started screaming again at tim mcgraw, and out of nowhere, joe started screaming and throwing his hands up in the air. every time she screamed, he did the same thing. it was hilarious. i think she caught onto it, though, because she asked me if she was bothering us. we were happy about the extra entertainment. 🙂

despite being up so high we got some pretty good pictures. my only disappointment about the concert was that tim mcgraw only did three songs that i knew. i thought he would have done more of his big hits, but he did a lot that i’d never heard of. oh well.

kenny rogers did a song with tim mcgraw also, which was a great surprise.

the concert was about four hours, but i could have stayed all night. it was great. next time, though, we’ll have to remember our cowboy hats.
