live music

david and i are headed to a concert next month in lexington and got in a discussion one night recently about all the concerts we've ever been to. i thought that this would be a fun post and want to encourage others to post the same if they want to. after thinking about all the concerts i have ever been to, i realized that i have dropped a butt load of money on concerts. but oh so worth it. i also have gone to the most random concerts that would probably make you laugh. i got to thinking about my other friends that blog and wondered what concerts they've been to (jo, you've gotta list yours!). so if you want, blog and list all the concerts you've ever been to. i am going to list my first concert, then the rest in random order, and then the last concert i attended. the starred ones are artists that i've seen more than once (unfortunately one artist...five times...obession?...nah). this is not a blog that is saying look at me, look at me...if anything it's for you to laugh at me. :o) and for you to hopefully share who you've seen. concert attendance says a lot about a person i think.
