My mom got tickets for Brad Paisley and invited Kevin and I to go with them. Saturday, Sept. 26th, we met Erin, her mom, and brother for lunch (my roommate from college). They were in town to run the Tahoe Marathon. Afterward, we headed to Sacramento. We got to my mom’s in time for some dinner. Weston had agreed to watch J-mo for us that night. I think he used him as an excuse to invite some girls over to “help” him. 🙂 j/k. Thanks Weston!

We got in the car and headed out about 6 pm. We reached the concert traffic just after 7 and spent the next hour trying to get in to park. While we were sitting, waiting, we watch the crazy fans around us. Guys in their lifted trucks, not even trying to hide their beers.  There were a few girls that hopped a fence for a potty break. Well, traffic started to move faster after the girls had headed out. A few minutes later, a guy hopped out of a limo to go fetch them. They all came running back, and we started laughing. One girl had pee pants. I don’t know if she realized it at that point, but I’m sure she did once she sat back down.

We missed the opening guy, but got there in time for Derks Bentley. He got the crowed going. He even borrowed some guy’s beer to make a toast, then asked if he had the swine flu. Later, he brought him another beer. So nice of him. By the way, his base guitarist, from the side, looks like Keith Urban. He finally cleared up my concern, when he introduced the band.

 

It didn’t take long in between acts, but we made good use of our time.

 

Brad Paisley didn’t dissapoint. He was all over the place, and would play in front of the screen a lot giving a neat effect.

 

We had a great time! I would go see Brad any chance I got. Kevin even had a good time at his first country concert. Traffic coming home wasn’t as eventful, and we got home a little after 1 am. Thanks, Mom and Don, for letting us tag along!
