WOW! Where to begin? Well, we went to see RUSH on Tuesday night. It was fabulous! (as always) Altho we missed the first 1/2 hour of the show because we took an alternate route instead of taking 75. See there was a fatal accident on 75 at Baldwin, just 5 miles before we had to get off to get to Pine Knob (yeah I know...DTE Energy Center, but it will always be Pine Knob to me:p~) so I searched for an alternate route online before we left. Found one, it was golden... Until we took it. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get from West maple and Livernois to Pine Knob. It should have only taken us about 1/2 an hour. Traffic was ATROCIOUS!!!! And we didn't even have RUSH music to keep us company because we didn't have a CD player and Joel's RUSH tapes were stuck at home :(

So we got there in time to hear "Roll the Bones" and right after... yeah that's right... YYZ!!!!! I LOVE that song!! Instrumental and I can still sing along with it lol... Some of the others were 2112 overture... Tom Sawyer... Some Vapor Trails songs... A couple of covers... Neil Peart's amazing amazing Drum Solo... And they ended with Limelight. It was a fabulous show... Not much different than the last time we went a couple years ago...

I almost forgot the most important part tho! Kevin wasn't able to go!!!! We had made these plans way back in like march with Joel and Jason and everything was golden until 2pm Tuesday afternoon. I get a phone call from Kevin. Tony had an "accident" and so Kevin had to work a double. The one day we planned something and he had to work a double! I was so pissed! Not at Kevin, altho I'm sure I sounded like it, but at his workplace. They so totally take advantage of him. The only positive of it is that they have given him the Saturday before we leave on vacation off too, so we can do all the last minute stuff we have to do then. It works out golden. But it still doesn't totally make up for the concert that he missed that we had to pay for anyway. Luckily my mom was able to go. No wasted ticket. And she had a great time. She kinda knew RUSH, they just aren't a band she's totally a fan of.

So we all had a great time, altho I know Joel and Jason were upset that we missed the first 1/2 hour. they were already making plans to see them again in Toronto in August.

So our trip is coming up. We leave in 10 short day. June 20th. My fantastic friend Cindy is going to be watching out Kikyo for us *hugs* love you girl! We finally got a digital camera.... $50 at Office max (clearance) It's an off brand (Digitrex vs. something like a sony or kodak) but it is such a nice camera!!! Only 2 megapixels, but really we don't need much more than that. We just bought a 128MB Compact Flash card thru Ebay last night. It should be shipped in time. $17!!! It should allow us to take over 100 pics on the super high quality.... over 200 on the middle quality.... and perhaps over 400 on the lowest!!!! (i'm guessing here, cuz with the 7MB it comes with we get 6 / 12 / 26)
