almost honest

Gary, Jay, and Joe Don rocked Fresno yet again. Me and my gang..aka brightillusions and my other co-worker Jessica had an awesome time. Taylor Swift was fantastic and Rascal Flatts was amazing as always. So much love, man. I only got weepy once, when at the end of "He Ain't The Leavin' Kind", they brought out a group of Marines. That did me and Jane in. Haha.

I go to bed now. Need to be at work at 9 am. Woo!

I'm posting this mainly for myself to watch over and over. I finally found a clip on youtube of Jay DeMarcus from Rascal Flatts talking about buying tickets and text messaging. He did the same thing at the Fresno show on July 21st, but this little monologue was from the Chula Vista, CA show on July 22nd.

Let's just say this thing hit WAY too close to home for brightillusions and I. Hahaha.

Jay and his Sidekick.

Amused, I am.

Out at the parents' house this weekend. Feel very relaxed now. Woo.

Browsing YouTube today while I'm at the parents' house, and I found an amazing video of Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts doing "Cool Thing" at the Fresno concert. Hee. I got a little teary, but then I squealed. He was so awesome that night, and I saw somewhere that it was one of the first times he'd done the song live.

"she was on break from Fresno State..."

Gah. So awesome. Will be watching this over and over now.

Sigh.

Um. Guh. So last night brightillusions and I went to see The Wreckers, Gary Allan, and Rascal Flatts at the Save Mart Center. Absolutely amazing. Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp were fantastic, even though they only did like--four songs, which sucked. But they ere great, and then freakin' Gary Allan blew us away. He was sick as a dog, and his voice was incredibly raspy when he spoke, but the singing as awesome. He sang a song he hasn't even recorded yet, and it rocked. He was so gorgeous. "Man Of Me" was dead on, and he did Songs About Rain, which I adore. Right before he did "Best I Ever Had", he talked about losing his wife a year and a half ago, and did the song just perfect. He was crying a bit during the song, and that just tore me up. He's so awesome.

And then, the boys appeared. And boy, can the Rascal Flatts boys put on a show. Geez. Gary, Jay, and Joe Don rocked my ever loving socks. They did all the good songs, and Jay did "Hotel California" and "Jessie's Girl", and Joe Don did "Cool Thing" and changed Ohio State to Fresno State, and I fell in love. Heh. The encore was "What Hurts The Most" and "Life Is A Highway", and just before that, they did "Skin (Sara Beth)" and "I'm Movin' On" back to back, and yes, I got a little weepy. The Fresno crowd was awesome, and held up their cell phones during Skin, and the guys got a little teary, I think. They were literally about 20 feet from us at one time, and my new digital camera got some decent, if not a bit blurry photos of the boys.

It was an awesome night, and now, although I am tired, I am excited for Michael Buble tonight. Hee.

Back to bed now. Maybe.
