Last weekend Katie and I went to Chicago on Saturday for the Paisley Party Tour! We had a good time :) Brad is an awesome performer and puts on a great show, but I was bummed with our seats. They were not good. They were Row 13, but off to the side really far. Oh well; could have been in the lawn I guess. What was a real bummer was that when CW came out, there were SO MANY empty seats in the front - I'm talking like whole sections. Katie and I went up there just for Chuck's like 5 songs and got kicked out. It's so dumb - I understand that people paid for those seats, but we were just going to sit there for the first opening act....and not to mention they paid the same amount we did! Whatever, so after we almost got kicked out for trying to sneak to another section, we just gave up and sat in our crap-tacular seats. This is strike two at First Midwestbank Ampitheater in Chicago. This place needs a SERIOUS lesson from Pine Knob. They don't let you tailgate - in fact if you are in the parking lot after the gates open you have to be walking to the entrance...not even allowed to sit in your cars and hang out. Stupid place. Whatever...
We were both a little hungover on Sunday - okay one of us was a lot hungover :) It was fun to get away for a girls night out though! And to those of you wondering (mom and grandma!) - we took a cab between the hotel and concert :)
I wanted to get a CW hoodie made since all of his shirts they sell are ugly. There was a minimum order though, so I ordered them anyways and put them on ebay. I got 12 and only have 2 left! In 3 days! His mom ordered 2 of them last night and sent me this message today:
First off - Thanks so much for going to so much trouble to promote Chuck. He is our son - we are purchasing the sweat because we really liked the way they looked. Very cool !!! I will check around with everyone for sure - we are actually leaving to go up to Delaware on Thursday (too bad we won't have the sweats by then) and will let everyone know about them and tell them. Thanks again for all the trouble you are going through :-) I'll keep the sizes in mind - but I did see where quite of few from the message board plan on ordering also, so I'm sure you will be selling them all - - - Thanks again, Deb and John Wicks
Chuck told me on Saturday that he liked them too! Katie has a pic on her camera of him "promoting" them for me :) I need to get her pics! I hardly took any at all - here are a few. I don't have any of Jewel because I did not like her at all - she whines instead of sings for the most part....oh, and she yodeled (sp?). Was not impressed... Brad was awesome though as usual! He has more energy than I have ever seen in a performer - except maybe the NKOTB circa 1989 :)
The best part of the night had to be when we were leaving and saying good-bye to Chuck after the show. He asked Katie if she wanted a picture with him and she said "no - I'm not into celebrities...you put your pants on the same way I do everyday" :) He laughed and looked a little stunned at her response!
