The Brooks Family: Chuck Wicks Concert

Okay; I don't like negative stuff on the top of the blog for too long, so I will blog about the concert on Friday night! It was as far from negative as you can get - I had SO much fun!

I think that I had more fun before the concert though! I got to Santa Fe Station pretty early, figured I would play a little blackjack and hang out somewhere new. I went into the Chrome Showroom where the concert was going to be to see where our seats were because there was no seating chart when I booked them. When I walked in, Chuck's drummer Trey said "hi nice lady" and came over and we started talking. I told him I just wanted to see where our seats were and I'd be out of their way. Then he introduced me to the other guys in the band and Chuck's tour manager. They were all getting stuff set up and said to come back in about an hour for sound check if I wanted to. Of course I did! It was really fun; I was the only non-employee in there and they did a lot of songs. It was his first show using ear monitors so they were trying to get them calibrated. I got to meet Chuck and talk to him and the guys for quite awhile while they were fixing one of the feeds (I sound like I know what I'm talking about, huh?). They were all really fun and super nice! Unfortunately I don't have any pics from that becuase I didn't want to be "that" girl. I thought it was nice enough that they let me hang out with them, I didn't want to turn into crazy fan. I was surprised though because I had sent him a message on myspace telling him that I was coming to see him from Illinois and that we were having a mother/daughter date... When I met him and he asked where I was from I told him Illinois and he knew the story! He asked where my mom was and I told him at work still....then after the show, he said to her "you must be the mom who lives here in Vegas". I was impressed that he actually maintains his myspace and not his record label! For those of you who like Country music, I highly recommend his CD!

Our seats turned out to be perfect! We were in the 4th row right in the center. During "Mine All Mine", Chuck came down into the audience and sang right to me! I did let mom take a picture of that :)
