Do, Do, Do, Da, Da, Da

Tonight Ricardo and I are going to the Police & Elvis Costello concert. I'm excited because it's pretty rare we share the same taste in music (except our constant love for the gangsta rap). I grew up bopping to the 80's pop scene. Ricardo may or may not have sported a mullet while listening to metal and rock. I like Van Halen with Hagar. He prefers David Lee Roth. But when it comes to a superdelegate band like The Police, we both appreciate it. And dont' get me wrong, we are total bandwagon concerteers. I just downloaded The Best of both bands. It's fun to go back to that song and time.

I am especially excited because we never go out. Ever. I mean it. Seriously. Typically, we just enjoy hanging out with our kids. Or, one of us stays at home while the other goes out. We go out together so infrequently that we've pissed off babysitters. "Oh, you? I haven't heard from you in 2 years. I sooooo have moved on to better kids to watch." Super. So, Julz(Holla!) is stepping in to the rescue for us so we can go to see this concert.

I wonder if Sting is going to give a brief seminar on the whole Tantric Sex gig. Hmm.

And I like Elvis Costello. I didn't have much of his music, but he just oozes cool to me. Including the fact that he's married to Diana Krall. I LOVE her music. She's jazzy, saucy, fun. Check her out. Even more of the bond I share with ol Elvis is that they just had twins. How fun is that family? Who sings them to sleep, I wonder? So cool.

Back in the 80's I was young enough to bring a poster to concerts. I never actually had the gumption to do it, but I've considered it a few times for this concert. Provided that Ricardo wouldn't leave me at the concert, go pick up a hot chick without a poster, I would probably have one of these on a poster for Elvis Costello:

"I have twins, Elvis. I can help you."

"I have ALL of your wife's albums!"

I so stalked Ricardo to get these tickets. There's just a handful of concerts that I hope to go to before I die. I'm still sick that I never made it to a U2 concert. I hope they come back on tour! I'd also like to see Elton John. It's a pretty short list of concerts I MUST go to. But for tonight, I'll scratch one off the list.

What's your dream concert?

I hope that someone gets my MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. That's how I roll.
