I promise I'm 31...


So, I totally went and saw David Archuleta at the Burns Arena last night. My sister MinDee, sis-in-law Kenz, niece Hailey, and two best friends Corinne and Nicole all accompanied me. We had such a great night. We started out our evening listening to Archie's CD on our way to dinner. After awesome burgers and lemonades at Red Robin (yummmm) we hit up Kohl's for a few minutes and then went on to find a parking place for the concert.

After the worlds longest lines, I finally found a door that no one was at. I aproached it thinking someone would turn us away, but sure enough they just took our tickets and let us on in. We sat on the front row right off the floor. They were such awesome seats.

Best things about the concert:

  • Hailey's perma-grin
  • Thousands of screaming "tweens"
  • Making fun of the 2 guys sporting David Archuleta shirts and dancing to every song
  • David singing a song in spanish and a latino family next to us yelling "Hola" continuously
  • Archie singing a medley of "oldies but goodies- some from the 90's and some newer" (as he quoted) consisting of: 'One' by U2, 'You Gotta Be' by Desiree, 'Love Song' by Sara Barellis, and concluded with 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz. Talk about feeling old, U2's 'One', really? Am I seriously that old that those songs are just not "oldies" to me?
  • The girl to the left of us that was doing a lyrical dance to 'Angels', the last song he sang (seriously, laughing SO hard)
  • Using my niece as my excuse for going to the concert (even though I would totally have gone if she wasn't there. Yeah, I'm that lame. ;) But being with her made it ten million times better).
  • Enjoying a fun evening out with my family & friends. Loved it!!!

That is way to awsome! It sounds like you guy's had a great time. We're not that old are we? Those songs are not oldies... are they?

That is not lame that you went to the concert - I was there also. I agree that there is nothing quite like hearing several thousand "tweens" screaming in their high pitched voices! I can't imagine what it would have sounded like if the place was any bigger.

How fun! Concerts are fun reguardless of tweenie-boppers. We have tickets for Brian Regan in May and I can't wait. Are you going?
