Kenny Chesney Concert 9.19.09

Brittany and I made our annual trip to see Mr. Chesney this past Saturday night.  The highlight of the evening for me is that Kenny sang "Me and You" for the 1st time in 6 years.  I know the number of years because he told the audience he wanted to do a song that he has missed singing to the Indy crowd.  "Me and You" was a song that played at Chad and my wedding.  Kenny sounded GREAT and was in a good mood!  I have seen him enough times to know when he isn't up to par and he definitely was that night.

I didn't know that when I bought tickets I bought club seats.  At Lucas Oil they have the Baker Daniels Club, which entitled us to a special entrance, a private bathroom, our own concession stand/bar, and the lobby even had Colts carpet!

this is Brittany being impressed that the stall had individual lights!  TOO CUTE!  We had visited the normal bathrooms before we went to our seats so she said these made her feel extra special!

The security crew even went and got her ear plugs.  I thought you would be able to see them in this pic but not really!

Someone was nice enough to take our picture!  Maybe we do look a little alike!  Just not in coloring!

Sugarland, Zach Brown Band, Miranda Lambert, and Montgomery Gentry were great!  Sugarland is fabulous!  I saw them a couple years ago at Verizon before Kenny (imagine that?!?) and it was good to see them again!  Overall, Britt and I had a great time!  The night was beautiful so the roof was open and I really do think they fixed the sound problems.  Even in the Colts house, we had a BLAST!

My Kenny Chesney is not touring next year!!!!!!

As an avid Kenny Chesney fan, I have looked forward to this coming Saturday since last September (last year's concert). On 9/19/09 Britt and I will be attending the Kenny concert in Indy. It has become a mother/daughter tradition that we get down right giddy about!

Then, the announcement was made that Kenny needs some time off, needs some time to creatively reboot, and to have somewhat of a life outside of his career. As I am picking my jaw off the ground, I am telling myself, "it is fine, it is fine." I must say the last few years Kenny has sounded different during interviews, maybe even since the whole Renee Z. thing. He said he was sitting with Bruce Springsteen and Bruce put it very bluntly. As I paraphrase, Bruce told Kenny that you can write 1/2 a song, put it in a drawer for 5 years, and go back to it a it will still be there. Life isn't like that. It keeps going whether you take time to live it or not. I KNOW very compelling, right???? I must say I totally agree but I might just have a little bitterness toward Mr. Springsteen for taking away my chance to see Kenny once a year. My once a year event that is about me! Just me! My 1 day for the entire year that I let loose, that I not only sing outloud but I dance too! I DON'T do that, ever; except at Kenny concerts!!!! I feel the end of my tirade coming, so I will sum this up by saying-everyone including Kenny Chesney deserves to know and feel the happiness of coming home to a family, a spouse, maybe even children. Everyone deserves to have someone walk thru life with them and so far, Kenny hasn't had a partner to do just that with.

So, my message to Kenny is...I will be waiting to hear when you are creatively rebooted and ready to tour again. I will be waiting with my bells on (my dancing shoes too)!!!
