Today is a very special day in Kyle's life as he complete's a veritable rite of passage. Colette is taking him to the
Verizon Center tonight to see
Bon Jovi and
Daughtry in concert. This will be Kyle's first concert and a walk down memory lane for Colette, who last saw Bon Jovi in concert in the mid 80's. They met up with me for lunch and Kyle was so excited that he was talking a mile a minute. I really am not sure that allowing him to have a Mt. Dew was a really great idea, but at least I don't have to live with the consequences of that one.

So no more, mon amour! ;-)
Now I got the damned song stuck in my head - thanks Sean!!
My first real concert - and I don't know why I'm admitting this - was Nick Lachey. NOT A FAN myself (ahem!), but rather went as a gift to my wife. We were the only people over 20 who were there without their children...
The best part of that concert (IMHO) was having Drake Bell - the "kid" from Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh, sneak into the back of the theatre to see the show (small theatre - I assume he was checking the venue as he was scheduled to perform there the next night) and watch the little kids both charge Drake and abandon Nick...

Since we are admitting first concerts, mine was John Denver at the Capital Centre. I was 7 or 8 and I knew all the words to "I'm a Country Boy".

My first concert was Kraftwerk, when they visited Stockholm in 1991. The next one was Meatloaf, a few years later (1994 or 95?), then Tony Braxton (invited by IBM to their skybox together with my then-wife) and finally Alanis Morisette in Dallas (birthday gift to my then wife in 2002). That's it. :-)
