This past weekend I heard that Rascal Flatts would be playing up at Bethel Woods (the original Woodstock site). I called my mom to see if she wanted to go, but then when I was talking to Sean, I realized that I would have to work that night. Bummer!!!!
But, I had a message the next day asking me if I wanted to call in sick and go anyway. I wrestled with the idea of calling in sick, I honestly did. I have only done it one time and it was because the nit-wit forgot to take me off the schedule after securing the day off for me. Truthfully, calling in sick this time would have been along the same lines. I had been told my request to work Mondays and Tuesdays after Sept 1 was authorized. But the nit-wit did schedual me for Thursday, Sept 2. Last I checked, 2 comes after 1. Anyway, if I worked I would have been up for 48 hours when my Thursday and Friday classes were factored in. I assessed that if I called in sick and went to the concert, at least I would be able to get some form of sleep that night and not be a raving, exhausted lunatic like I had been for most of the week. So, yeah, that Taco Bell really kicked my butt. =o)
After my class on Thursday, I headed right up to Pine Bush. Still drained from my earlier activities of the week, I tried to get some studying done until all appropriate family members were home and ready to go again. At about 5:30, we headed out to Bethel Woods. For those of you that are not aware, that's the original site of Woodstock.
Since the tickets were a last minute thing, we got lawn seats. I really can't complain about the view though, since it was great. The drunken fools next to me, however, I could complain about. I wish Joe could have been there because he would've shut them up, especially after 1 guy told my little sister to "shove it" after she asked him to sit down so she could see the concert.
Anyway, back on track... Chris Young was the opening act. He's new to the country music scene and I do believe, he will go very far. You might recognize his songs Gettin' You Home and The Man I Wanna Be. I got quite a few very good pictures of him. He was followed up by Kelly Pickler. I have to admit that I'm not her biggest fan and her voice doesn't project well, but her songs are cute and make you sing along. I got some pictures of her as well, but she wasn't wearing her red high heels that night.
Rascal Flatts wrapped up the show, as they should since it was their tour. Pure awesomeness is all I can say. I've waited so long to see them and they didn't disappoint! I would've taken lots of pictures of them, but the camera batteries chose that night at that time to die. Oh well, I've got this blog and the memories of that night. Hearing my favorite song, Fast Cars and Freedom live was thrilling. I blast that song over and over and over when I'm alone in my car and sing it at the top of my lungs.
Now I've got to figure out how to get into a Reba concert....
