Tay Swift :: Red Tour

This was my third annual Taylor Swift concert and once again she did not disappoint!  I am pretty sure I will go to every Taylor Swift concert I can. I went with my three-peat concert goers Casey and Kate, and Lauren joined us this time. Casey and I made a day of it and went and go our hair blown out then met up with Kate and Lauren. The concert was held at Cowboy's Stadium which I was not a huge fan of. I wish it had been at AAC but I guess she is too big for that now!

 She's so pretty.

Speak Now: Taylor Swift!!

Last Saturday night, I went to the Taylor Swift concert at Cowboys Stadium! I went with my two Tay Swift veterans, Casey and Kate, and my cousin Jenna came along this time! Taylor puts on such an awesome show and it is such a blast to see her live. She is so sweet and I think she genuinely loves each and every show she does. This was my first time at Cowboys Stadium and I cannot say I love the venue. It was nice and huge, but is is so inconvenient to get to! Last year it was at American Airlines, which is just so easy to get in and out of.

 Gorgeous! I love her sparkly dresses! In fact, I kept calling the dress I wore to Lady Gaga my Taylor Swift dress.

 We had good seats, but this speaker thing was right in front of the huge jumbtron.

 Trouble makers :)

 Pretty sure this is Better than Revenge.

B.O.B.!! The rapper came out on stage and they did "Airplanes" together. Such a fun song and a highlight of the concert!

We had so much fun! I cannot wait until next year! I am definitely going to every Taylor Swift concert that comes to Dallas, that is how much I love her! Yes, I am aware I am a dork. At least I didn't wear my Taylor Swift t-shirt (thanks Mom and Ashley!) to the concert!

The weekend before last Eric and I went to see Jimmy Buffett at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco. Now going to Jimmy Buffett is not just going to the concert. People tailgate, sometimes for days before the actual event. This is our second year to go and while last year we had a pretty good tail gate, we did it up even better this year. We went with a couple of Eric's coworkers and their significant others and we had some extra tickets so our friends Kate and Pete joined us, as well as our friends Lindsay and Danny who happened to be going already.   We got there at about 9:00 am and got a prime spot in a parking lot just outside of the stadium where the concert would be held.  Eric and I were in charge of the grill and meat and fortunately since I work for a food broker, I scored a bunch of free food for the day. We started off by making breakfast tacos - eggs, sausage, bacon. Gotta fuel our bodies for a loooong day!

Eric looked quite handsome in his festive apron. After breakfast, we had chicken wings, deer sausage, hamburgers, and hot dogs! Lots and lots of food!

fun fishie table cloth and all of our food for the day

The highlight of the day! Renting a port-a-potty! Seriously. The company was driving around just waiting to see if people wanted to rent them. It turned out to be an awesome idea. We formed a port-a-potty "coop" with some of our neighboring tail gaters and for only $95 (what a steal!), we had our very own port-a-potty!

Erica had honestly never used one before. I don't think it is fair that this is her first use of one. It is way to clean! She even asked us if it flushed! 

Our neighbor happened to have this lovely toilet paper holder. Classy, isn't it?

Walking around and seeing everyone else who is tail gating is always a good time. These are the Fin Men, a group from Arkansas that come to every concert. They have these cool fin hats and they light up so you can see them at the concert and they move around in cool formations.

Chef Eric and I - doesn't he look good?

It was a long, but fun day of tailgating! 9:00 am until 7:30 when the concert started! The concert was a lot of fun and we were able to get out in time to see the last quarter of the Mavericks game to see them win! We are super excited about the Mavs being in the NBA finals. Game 1 is tonight! Let's go Mavs!

Ke$ha @ the House of Blues!!

Some of you reading this blog might not know who Ke$ha is. No, that is not a typo in her name, she really does use a dollar bill sign for the "s" in her name! Well, this is Ke$ha.

On Monday night, I went to see her in concert at the House of Blues with my friends Kate and Lauren. We have super excited for this concert for months. She put on an awesome show! The HOB is a small venue and we were sitting in the center balcony and could see great. The whole show was a dance party, with everyone in the audience dancing and singing along to the songs. (Well, except for the 60 year old man who sat next to me. Poor guy - I warned him I knew the words to every song when he sat down!) We had an absolute blast and I am so glad we went! Here are some pictures from the fun night.

The opening act of the concert was an interesting man by the name of Beardo. I definitely could have done without Beardo. His name should be Beardo the Weirdo. He had a guitar and a lap top and he basically put on recorded music and he played the guitar and screamed obscene lyrics the whole time. I will let you figure out how weird he is by the pictures.

Trying to get a picture of all three of us...

So we asked the girl behind us, much better!

Some interesting concert goers...

The Horned Frog is Hooking 'em!

Notice Kate crimped her hair for the occasion

Having fun!

Dance party!! Such a fun night!!

Gaga oh la la

On Monday, March 14th,  I went to see Lady Gaga with my friends Tracy and Karla. We had a blast! After seeing all of her antics at awards shows lately (wearing a dress made out of raw meat, arriving to the Grammy's in an incubation egg...), I was excited to see what she would be like live. I have to admit, she did not wow me in the same way that I thought that she would, but she still put on a great show and the people watching was priceless! Here are some pictures from the night. Unfortunately, my camera did not really take that many great pictures of the actual concert.

An interesting choice of outfit

They wouldn't dress like this if they didn't want you to take a picture with them!

Who wears short shorts? This guy does!

Unfortunately my camera didn't get very good pictures of the actual concert
