No rock star, no cry

Well, the rock stars didn't happen for me.

We did go to the concert hesitently, as our daughter was running a fever (around 101) for most of the day. My parents were taking her over night so that we didn't have to worry about her. We had a babysitter watching our son at home.

We got down to the show around 7 p.m. (it was to start at 8 p.m.) and moved right up towards the front of the stage after walking around the grounds. (During that time, we passed by and spoke briefly to the guys from the House Band, including Paul, Nate, Raphael and Sasha . It was an outdoor venue, with no actually seating. Either you stood, sat on lawn chairs, or planted yourself on the ground. We were about three-people deep from the stage, so decided to camp out there.

Nothing happened until about 8:40 p.m. when the opening band came out. They were called Fairfield or something, and were okay - but most of their eight songs sounded the same. During their concert, we could see Dilana, Marty and Suzie at various times back stage and such.

Fairfield played until about 9:20 p.m. and we were told it would be a little while longer before the main act. At 9:45, my mom called on the cell phone to say that DD's fever had gone up (she was approaching 103) and suggested it might be best if we come home.

Sigh. So we missed out on the concert. Of course, my daughter's health is paramount (she had a rough weekend, but is doing much better now), but this is definitely a show I wanted to see.

From what I've seen on rockband.com, the set was a good one too:

Ty was up first - Cult of Personality, I Believe in Love, No Woman No Cry, Fire

Storm - Suffragette City, Surrender, Ladylike, Uninvited (in tribute to playing in Canada-Alanis Morrisette song)

Marty - Take me Out, Don't Change, Trees, Wish You Were Here

Dilana - an original song, Zombie, Mother Mother, She Talks to Angels, Roxanne

Suzie - Losing my Religion, Bring it on Home, Hung Up, Bohemian Rhapsody

Oh well.

*shakes fist at the time disruption* If only things would've been running on time, you could've seen SOME of them.

Your daughter's health is way more important than any concert... especially since Lukas wasn't there.
