The kids have their costumes all ready. The Girl-Child is going as a gypsy (a scary gypsy, she tells me), and the Boy-Child will be a vampire. Both costumes we cobbled together mainly from thrift store purchases, and I think both kids will look great. T and I are going military this year. I still need some dog tags and maybe a different hat than ( Read more... )

My taste in music is actually pretty wide ranging and eclectic. I loved the Aerosmith concert... I have a particular weakness for the rock star scream, and hearing Tyler do it in person was awesome. I felt like I personally experienced one of the classic elements in rock and roll.

But I probably wouldn't go see them again. The crowd was the flat-out rudest crowd I've ever been in. Just lots of unpleasant, in many cases extremely drunk or stoned, people. I don't care if people want to party... I occasionally like to get drunk, too. But don't use it as an excuse to trample me or puke right beside where I'm sitting or curse at me because you're so confused that now you think I'm in your seat. Bleh.

I've seen so many concerts it's difficult for me to make a list. U2 several times, Elton John, Billy Joel, Duran Duran, the Rolling Stones (I actually worked that concert), Paul Young, Howard Jones, Stevie Nicks, the Thompson Twins, Simple Minds, INXS (3X- with Michael, not whoever is singing now), Depeche Mode, Lillith Fair (Sinead, Sarah, and I'm drawing a blank at the moment on who else-oh, and that was THE nicest concert crowd), Allison Krause, Kenny Rogers, Patti LaBelle, the Stray Cats, Robert Palmer, Melissa Etheridge, the Indigo Girls, Bobbie McFerrin (so much fun!), Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Art Garfunkel...

Add on to that several Cirque du Soleils, BMG twice, quite a few Broadway shows, operas, dance performances (including seeing Baryshnikov dance twice, Nureyev once, and Savion Glover once), ethnic music performances...

Truly, I'm a performance junkie. :o)

other than one cirque du soleil show i went to in vegas years ago (and as i recall, one of their traveling shows in minneapolis) the only 3 artists i've seen perform that you listed are u2, howard jones and thompson twins. several of them i would see, then or now, if given a chance, but i'm not a big spender when it comes to live entertainment.
