REBA

Oh yes, I did actually go to see Reba McEntire this past weekend. My sister is a huge fan, I said obsessed, of Reba McEntire. I also lost the best on the NCAA tournament so I had to pay for both tickets and later lost the Emmy bet by just one and had to buy one tshirt for her. I'm still mad about that.

Anyhow the opening act was Terri Clark. She was really good and new more songs of her's than I thought I would, and I really don't listen to country music all that much. She was really funny and put on a good show. She said this years color is Green and Pink is so 2004, hahaha.

Then the next act was Brad Paisley. I thought he'd be a little more wild, but he really didn't talk much just played his songs and said a few things here and there but nothing much. I did like when they were doing the Spaghetti Western Swing they had this cartoon up on the monitors and it was rather funny. It was of him and his band playing and I noticed all the audience in the cartoon was female and they had large boobs. At one point one of the cartoons flashed him. That was really funny. I knew some of his songs but not as many as Terri Clark, but I did buy his tshirt for myself.

Then Reba came on. Oh my sister was like screaming and shouting, it was funny. She put on a really good show. I loved most of the songs. I was a little mad when people weren't standing up during her portion of the concert though cause when she sang Love Revival I wanted to do my little dance to it you know how those people in those choirs that are really into do. Well I wanted to do something like that but alas no one was standing near us. So instead I just did the hand movements. It was great. But when she came back for the encore everyone was standing, it was great she came back out with Fancy if I remember correctly and I was all excited because I love that song, it just amuses me. Also near the end Terri Clark came out and sang with her the one duet song Reba has, that I can't quite remember the title of it now. Then Brad Paisley came out and played guitar too. It was a great concert and I wouldn't mind seeing any of these people live again.

What really suprised me was how tame the audience was. They didn't seem really into it, or maybe that's just because normally the concerts I go to people get up at least during the second act and continue standing for the rest of the concert. Other cool thing is my sister one VIP parking from Q104 on one of their locations things so we got into the parking early and got to park sort of close to the entrance. But now we have this Q104 flag for no real reason.

We then got home and stayed up for a while because my sister was still overly excited about the concert. After about 2 hours of being home she got sleepy and went to bed but now I was back awake, cause see right after the concert I was dog tired. So I decided I'd just go to my room and watch something on the satellite. Well I did that for about 20 minutes then all of a sudden I heard what I thought was some car with their music going loud going boom boom boom. Then a large dog started barking and I was like what idiot is out around a neighborhood at 2:30 in the morning with their music loud. Then all of a sudden I started to smell smoke. Then I heard like a fire truck horn. So I got up and went to the back door and went outside my shorts and tshirt and a pair of tennis shoes I just slipped on to see what was going on. I see flashing lights on the other side of the street but I can't quite make out what's going on exactly. I then see this haziness that looked like smoke come from the drive way of the people diaganolly behind our house. Then I turn to go back inside and see if I can see any better from my sister's room. Just when I do that I see a large fire truck pass by the front of our house with it's lights on.

So I go back inside and go to my sister's room and at first I don't say anything and try to be quiet I still can't see anything though. So I said did you smell smoke. She's like what, what what's going on. She then smells it too and looks out and can see some of the lights going so we both go back to the backyard try to look. Our neighbor next to us comes out and asks if we know what's going on and of course we don't we just tell her all that we know. We then decide to go check it out first we get in the car and drive by the street and try to look over but we can't tell much except there was smoke coming near the side of a house of someone we knew. Then we go back to our house and decide to just walk over there on the other side. Well we did that and I didn't go as far as my sister. She went over to the house that was right next to the house that apparently caught on fire. She talked to some other people who were out but they didn't quite know what exactly was going on. Eventually she came back to me and told me what they told which wasn't much.

We eventually went back and inside and tried to go to sleep now it was almost 4 am. I could still hear the engines of the fire trucks running. well later on Sunday we went by and the windows were open and there was foam in the driveway and some burned furniture in the front yard with caution tape from the side of the house of the people we know to the other side of this house. There was also TV station filming it. So I watched that station that night and all they said was it caught on fire and still no word on what caused it.

So that was my enteresting weekend.
