The things we do for our children. My son, who just turned 12, wanted to go to this concert. His favorite band was playing and it was right after his birthday, so could we go for his birthday present? Please please please?
I reluctantly agreed and bought the tickets. Three bands that I’m not particularly fond of - they all sound the same! I feel old saying that! - and guess what?
It’s tonight.
Sigh…I don’t really want to do this, but I’m telling myself it’ll be fun to watch my son have fun. It’ll be a great place to people watch (the freaks come out for concerts, don’t they), and it’s only one night of suffering. And my husband is staying home with the little ones, so he can have some nice bonding time with them. Ha ha.

I know what you mean *sigh*, although my kids are all younger so I usually have to do different kind of stuff. You know, like spend the morning making playdoug then spend the afternoon removing little blobs of it from all over the house.

think of it as research. Maybe your next stry will have some element. A heroine who dropped out of society and became a roadie to escape her past. A hero whose sister is a runaway and Mr. Classical Music has to dive into the grunge scene to find her, helped along by the tatooed heroine who thinks he’s just hysterical, until she realizes he’s serious. Or the heroine who’s learned her father is a rock star and wants to bond with him, but she’s bonding wit teh bass player instead…see, it’s all work.

So funny you mention that Jenna cos I was thinking the same thing as I was sitting there watching everyone Fri. night. “How can I turn this into a story?” And I came up with a few. And I ended up having a good time considering we had to stand 1 1/2 hrs in the rain before we got in.
Since it’s research think I can write off the cost of the tickets??

LOL, oh yeah. Hope you had fun anyway!
