HANNAH MONTANA WRAPUP

The girls squealed and bounced up and down like little Whack-a-Moles all the way through the concert. It was actually a pretty good show; here's the Herald review, by Howard Cohen. My lone complaint was this woman I ended up behind in the line for concert merchandise when I went to get posters for the girls. This woman had surgically enhanced lips that made her look like she was wearing military face pontoons, and she wanted to buy a T-shirt, but first she wanted to see, and discuss, and compare, and discuss some more, every single one of the roughly 20 different T-shirts they had. She would look at one for a good two minutes -- holding it up, turning it around, examining the label -- and then she would say to the saleswoman, "So do you think a 13-year-old would like this?" And the saleswoman, seeing that there were people waiting in line behind this woman, would say yes. Pontoon Lips would look at the shirt some more, then say, "Can you get me the purple one again? With the sleeves?" And the line would groan. But other than that, it was a nice evening. The girls giggled and squealed all the way home.

First!

Glad to hear you survived, Dave.

Will Pontoon Lips and the Whack-A-Moles be opening for Hanna next time she is in SoFla?

[crossgirl]

dave goes to a tween concert with giggling squealing girls and declares it a "nice evening"?! there musta been beer.

i hate people like that. decent salespeople should shuffle them to the side of the line, and wait on ready-to-pay customers. course, that would get decent salespeople fired, i'm sure.

She will also be the first person in line on Black Friday shopping sprees. At least she didn't follow this man's example:

Drinking may have been involved

[casey]

Yay for Sophie and her friends! I'm sure she'll remember that always.

OT ALERT

I'm not sure this is the right time or place, but our young friend Alfred's sister had some complications from her surgery. I believe some blog love needs to be sent in the direction of him and his family. (((((Alfred & family)))))

They interviewed Pontoon Lips on the news last night. She paid $1600 for 4 tickets to the concert. Can you believe that?

[judi]

but sophie will never, ever, ever forget it.

[Steve (The 24 Guy)]

Yup. Judi's right. Nothing like doing something like that with your kids.

"He said words to the effect of: 'I'm going to have sex with that fence'," said Philip Lemoine, prosecuting.

Alias - somehow I think the words were otherwise.

After watching the morning shows I'm even more impressed with Mrs. Blog's scoring the tickets. I mean, if Hannah Storm and Rep. Dan Gelber (D-FL) were too cheap to pay the price couldn't get tickets for their kids (conveniently, if suspiciously, named Hannah, and Sophie), then Mrs. Blog's connections are clearly the ones to have.

Kudos all around.

Casey, thanks for the info. Prayers going your way, Alfred.

Dave, glad you survived apparently intact.

[OkieDokie]

Dave, You're the best daddy ever!

*zips in*™

Sophie has wonderful parental units.

Good job, Dave. Would it be correct to infer that Mrs. Blog did not attend?

Maybe the t-shirt people should have had more than one sales person.....

[DeskDiva]

LOL, Jeff - on the "words to that effect" line - GMTA!!!

[Annie]

Dave is such a good daddy. And Sophie will be able to say that her first concert was Hannah Montana! (Which is better than mine .... Poison. 1989. Shudder.)

[Layzeeboy]

Way to go, Dave and Michelle. Sophie has some serious hugging to do for the next few days.

Annie, my first concert was John Denver - 1976. Starland Vocal Band (Afternoon Delight) opened. YIKES!!

[Eleanor]

Layzee, that's one hell of a combination.

It makes me smile just to think about it. :) I love John Denver and am not ashamed to say that out loud. RIP John. *snif*
