Girl's Night Out

Last Thursday night Katie and I went to see Miley Cyrus in concert. I had bought tickets back in the spring and got incredible seats. We were in the FRONT ROW, on the side of the arena. Basically we were about 8-9 rows back from the actual stage.


Katie and I enjoyed a hot dog before the show, and had a good time people watching as thousands of little girls strutted by in their best rockstar outfit. (Katie and I were pretty low-key. She wore her Hannah Montana t-shirt and jeans...but some of the little girls were ALL glitzed out.)


Miley's brother's band, Metro Station opened for her. I had only heard one song of theirs, and it seemed harmless enough. WRONG! What a HORRIBLE choice for her opening act. They were completely inappropriate. Their lyrics went on about 'taking girls' clothes off' and 'getting high' and 'smoking cigarette after cigarette' and on and on. And that brother of hers was THE most annoying front man I've ever seen. After a few songs Katie and I started to make our way out to the hallways to walk around for a bit, but by then, they were done. In the bathroom after their show all the moms had PLENTY to say about what a horrible band they were.



Soon enough Miley came out and all was better. Katie had a great time dancing and singing along. We wished she would have played more of her 'old' songs, but I think she was kind of over them. Once the first song started Katie and I stood up and got all excited. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder, "Could you sit down please, my daughter can't see." I kind of stared at this mother who felt she needed me to sit down 30 seconds into the first song. As I started to sit, the mother next to me said "You shouldn't have to sit if you don't want to. The concert just started!" Then she turned back to the woman behind us and said "Honey, if you wanted your kids to see, you should have bought them better seats!" SOOOO, not wanting a rumble to break out...I sat down for part of the show...and stood up for some pictures and like 1 song. That's ok - I had a better view of Katie that way. The price you pay for front row seats.... :)

There was a lot of hair flying...it was hard to get a picture.

Originally, this is where I thought our seats were (which was fine), but then an usher moved us to the correct seats about 15 feet closer.

And for those of you interested...here are some quick videos.



P.S. Sarah - they even did a Michael Jackson tribute with Thriller...I thought of you. :)

This is a video of Katie dancing - she got even more into it at times than it shows here, but it's cute to see her dancing. Hope it isn't too dark...
