Eddie Vedder Concert

Well, I got to see my boyfriend in concert last night!  This is a solo tour with Eddie on stage with just acoustic guitars, ukuleles, his beautiful deep voice, no frills stripped down to the bare bones best concert I have ever been to.  The soul and emotional feelings he puts into his music is beyond words!  

Now I need to bitch and vent a little.  Maybe it's my age or maybe I'm a bitch, but the people at the concert were very annoying!  The drunks next to me came in late (so they blocked my view), got up 5 times to get refills (blocking my view again) and when they had to go to the bathroom I yelled at them to enter at the other end of the row next time (plus a few cuss words).  The people in the row in front of me were giant tall and they also were up several times getting more beer.  In the audience, I think some left over Pearl Jam fans thought their voices wanted to be heard over Eddie.  When I purchased my tickets I thought they were going to be pretty good seats in the clubhouse level, but I was wrong.  

Here is a not good at all photo (none of my photos turned out) of an encore song performed with Glen Hansard.

Funny things that happened after the concert:  Couldn't find my car in the parking garage......then figured out we were in the wrong garage.   Stopped at a convenience store in downtown Phoenix to get my daughter munchies for the trip home........looked like a murder had just taken place......cops, bums, etc......we were dressed up & mistaken for hookers.

Check this event off my bucket list!

Halloween, Owls, Book Update and My Boyfriend

Happy Halloween

A touch of vintage.....

I finished LIFE AFTER DEATH last night & for me this is very Halloween appropriate, because I can't think of anything scarier than being in prison.  It broke my heart thinking of an 18 year old being sent to death row for a crime he did not commit.  Damien was in prison for 18 years enduring beatings, solitude and unjust inhumane treatment. It's a wonder he survived!  I don't think I would have been as strong. Thank you Damien for sharing your story. 

PS. My youngest will be 18 in February & I can't imagine this happening to him!

Which leads to my "boyfriend" (ha ha I wish), Eddie  who recommended the book.  He was a big supporter in releasing Damien.  I'll be seeing him in concert this Sunday night!!!!  I can't wait.  On the bucket list to see Eddie.

Dreamy Eddie

Was having a fantastic dream about Eddie Vedder when I was rudely awakened by my husband.  I've been thinking about him (Eddie not hubby) all day!

If you want to watch a beautiful video of my boyfriend, ha ha, here is the link..........

GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL

There are a few things I fear.  Spiders, driving a stick shift, using a sewing machine and the fear of going to jail.  The last one is my biggest fear.  I can't imagine anything worse than having my freedom taken away from me.  Year after year of the confinement, boredom and not seeing my family.  I don't know how someone can survive being in prison, especially one wrongly accused and convicted.

I'm excited to begin reading "LIFE AFTER DEATH" by Damien Echols who was sent to prison as a teenage for a crime he did not commit.  Thanks to Eddie Vedder for posting this new book release on Facebook and thank you Barnes & Noble for mailing it to me so quickly.  I can't wait to get started!
