Brooks' New Favorite Game

WHAT A RUSH!!!


David and I have seen Rush MANY times, including August of last year, and it's ALWAYS an awesome show. That said, Friday was the best Rush show we've ever seen. The vocals were incredible, the instruments sounded awesome, and Neil Peart...well he was Neil Peart. Most anyone that follows the great bands of all time will tell you there is not a better drummer than Neil Peart. David and I have seen hundreds of live shows from some of the greatest bands in history, and to us it's not close. We were in the pit again so, it was very loud and wild, but standing in the pit for a Rush concert is a guaranteed 3 hrs of goosebumps.

WOW! Different Breed of Folks!

Jenn (obviously a parrot-head) has seen Jimmy Buffett a couple times before, and has told me time and time again that I had to experience at least 1 Jimmy Buffett concert. We had great seats Saturday in Frisco...actually too close to the stage...being that the closer you are the crazier these folks are. The smell of many exotic "folliages" filled the air, and everyone there seem to be having a FABULOUS time. Jimmy made the comment after the first song, "If you've never been to a Jimmy Buffett show, you're probably asking yourself, 'What the HELL is going on'..." Hit the nail on the head. At no point from the moment we showed up until he walked off the stage the final time, were there less than 50 beach balls going at one time, many of which Jimmy had to dodge mid-song...you could tell he was used to it. The show was pretty incredible. Jenn was right, he is one hell of an entertainer.
