I had 2 friends who committed to attending with me - Cat (my school's art teacher) and Sarah (a friend from church). Last night we left town at 4:30pm & rocked out all the way to Denver listening to "To Be Loved" via my iPod.
We got to the Pepsi Center & had dinner across the street. We ate dinner & enjoyed some conversation, we were just excited for a chance to see the concert - even from our nosebleed seats in section 322 {at the tippy, tippy top}.
Once we got inside we decided to do the "concert things" like t-shirt buying & poster pics etc. So we waited a good 30 mins. between purchases & getting pics:
It took a little help from a few passers-by, but we finally got the pics we wanted. We headed up the 3 escalators to our seats:
But the story changes, DRASTICALLY here! We never made it to Section 322...What?!?! you say, WHY is that, you ask?
Well, we ran into Linda - Pepsi Center employee OF THE YEAR!! She waved us over near concessions & handed us 3 seats ON THE FLOOR! UPGRADE, YEAH!!
So we head down to Section EEE, Row 11...Hello new seats:
We were 4 rows from the mini-stage & we crossed our fingers that it was set up for him to perform from there!
Enter Naturally 7 - a great acapella group that got us all jazzed for the show.
Now bring on:
Yep, he was basically as big on the prompter as he was from our seats folks!!
Then, he walked to the mini-stage & I about peed my pants:
I swear I almost got to touch him - my cup runneth over! Look at those pics...that's CLOSE people.
And then came the confetti:
Yep, I am in love - "All You Need is Love" don't ya' know?
BEST. NIGHT. EVER!!
I still can't believe I scored an UPGRADE to the floor - ROW 11! Cat asked if our tickets included backstage visits - hey, can't blame a girl for trying to score the ULTIMATE UPGRADE!
