AWESOME

Yes there are few words to describe what I experienced this evening. It started off innocently enough, a few last minute tickets to the Rolling Stones concert (Dave Matthews Band opening BTW!!!) When we showed up to pick up our t-shirts that came with our tickets (special 4 pack of tickets through Qwest Field came with cool t-shirts!!) the gal that was handing out the t-shirts pushed a piece of paper towards us saying that we'd won VIP tickets and that we'd be sitting in the balcony above the stage. Um, WHAT?! I was desperately trying to figure out what the catch was- but then after much reassurance from the t-shirt lady there WAS no catch... we walked into the VIP area and stood there dumbstruck. It turns out that the stage that the Rolling Stones had designed had balcony seats above the stage and they needed some extra peeps to fill out the remaining balcony spots. We got to see Dave Matthews Band play and it was AMAZING! Amazing, amazing, amazing... I've still got a smile plastered on my face.

Then the Rolling Stones came on. I was so close that I could actually see that Mick Jagger wore black Nike Shox and that Keith Richards looked a tad bit like death warmed over. I could not believe we were above the stage, watching Mick prance around in pants I wouldn't even fit in! It was A CRAZY show, fireworks, a big huge inflatable mouth and FIRE! It was so cool!

I do feel like a lucky girl, I've got a streak going lately. Perhaps it's the good karma I've been trying to bank.

The view from our seats, although my phone takes crappy pictures and the real thing was much better. That's Mick Jagger in the purple coat!!
