Kayla' First Concert

"It almost blasted my ear drums out, but I had fun anyway". Those were Kayla's words to sum up her first concert! We went to a local Christian concert last night - just me, Craig, and Kayla - and boy was it loud. It made me realize that, well, I'm getting old! I found myself holding my head a couple of times because I honestly was scared that it was going to fall off!!! Kayla insisted there were speakers under all of the chairs that blasted the music out and made you and the floor both vibrate! Really, I mean you should be very afraid, when a young band comes to stage and says, and I quote: "Tomorrow morning when you wake up and your neck hurts and your voice is gone, let it be because you head banged and rocked out on this next song". Excuse me??? Well, my neck and shoulders are killing me this morning but not because I head-banged, but because I was tense the whole night over being afraid that I was going to have a seizure over the flashing strobe lights! Yikes! For a few minutes there I was transported back in time to the Guns-n-Roses "Welcome to the Jungle" video on MTV! I'm sure that their lyrics were Christ centered but I couldn't tell you for sure because I couldn't understand any of the words. All I could think was, if my mother was here her eyebrows would be all the way up to her hairline(love u mom!).

Okay, it was fun to watch Kayla and there were two bands there that were excellent! We had a great time with Kayla. She was pulling my arm to take her home when we first walked in because it was dark and LOUD, but once we got settled she settled down as well, and before the night was over, she was head banging with the rest of the crowd.

If anybody calls me today and I don't answer it is because I cannot hear the telephone over the ringing in my ears!
