Two Reasons I’m Glad We Bought Rock Band 2

1.  Because Kaitlyn LOVES drumming.  Earlier tonight she picked up the drumsticks and yelled “I WANNA ROCK”. How awesome is that? Plus, I got this photo of her which totally rules:

2. Because one of the things you can do in Rock Band 2 is give your band a name, and Ryan named his “Teh Rofflewaffles”. Their motto? “Rock Hard. Eat Waffles”. And if that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is.

Reblog this post [with Zemanta]

I’m going to my first concert in 15 years!

Isn’t that crazy? The last concert I went to was to see the Steve Miller Band play at Kalamazoo Arena in 1993! And then Chris and I got married and started working our jobs and then I got pregnant, and money for things like concerts was always on the bottom of the priority list. But when I saw the lineup for this summer’s Common Ground festival, which is held every year here in Lansing, I saw a show listed that I just had to buy tickets for, no matter what. No, not Madonna Tickets, she would never come to Lansing, Michigan! lol

We are going to see “Zappa Plays Zappa”. Chris has been a Frank Zappa fan since he was a Freshman in High School, he owns almost every FZ album which is a LOT, and now he has Ryan and Nathan listening to it as well. He went to three Zappa shows and still talks about how amazing they were. Frank passed away a few years ago, but his son Dweezil Zappa is touring now, playing his Dad’s songs. It was an opportunity that I just couldn’t pass up, I know how much the show will mean to Chris. Sometimes, you have to move things up to the top of the priority list because doing so will mean doing something really special for the person you love.
