The Family that Rocks together ... hhhmmmm ...
... if you've got an interesting other half to complete this statement, feel free to suggest it in the comments.
Last night, I took my little one to her first concert - Fall Out Boy, with three other bands on their Friends or Enemies tour, in Raleigh at the Disco Rodeo. With the weather being what it was, and me never having been to Raleigh (passed it lots going up and down I-85 and I-95, but never made the 40 mile side trip to check it out), it was a rather long and slow journey.
She had a little trouble with the noise at first, being her first concert, but as the photo would suggest, she finally got used to it, once we found a quieter place up in the balcony. The show wasn't bad, and given the teen appeal those bands had, there were a lot of teens and near-teens with parents in tow, but Bonnie was one of the few kids there under the age of ten (she's 8).
The bands were pretty family-friendly with no drunken rambling, a few four-letter words, but no drugs or booze in their comments or stage behavior. I guess one could rate the show a PG-13 event. Not bad, considering what else is out there. When she finally tired out, the concert had been going on for three and a half hours, and was probably thirty minutes from wrapping up. Not bad for thirty bucks a ticket.
On the way up, we finally figured out the call in number to Radio Disney on my Sirius radio, so she can call in on every contest they're doing now. This outta be interesting ...
Not a bad show, even if it wasn't exactly my kind of rock. It was definitely a good show to take kids to, which is rare these days, but since they're fixing to head out to Europe, you'll have to catch them next time they're stateside.

some of us see through this hollow facade and know what kind of a fake you really are.
remember, you can fool some people some of the time, but you can't fool all of them all of the time. what you do and how you treat women will catch up with you.
i can't wait to see what happens when it does.
Trust me, if there is disco, you wouldn't find me dead there.
Be careful buddy. Obviously there are some nuts out there.
perhaps if i was a failure in my life, they would feel better in knowing that i was everything they told themselves that i was.
believe me, in many ways, i'm nothing like i used to be, nor do i intend to go back and be those things again.
i, and those around me (both then and now) deserve better - and i'm trying my best to do better.
enough pyschotherapy for today.
