Garth Brooks!

Last night was one of the best nights ever! We saw Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood in Chicago, and it was everything I've always dreamed it would be since I was a kid. It was the type of concert where no one ever sat down. There were a few people who sat during one Trisha song, but other than that almost everyone was standing the whole time. It was soooo loud, and I was screaming just as loud as anyone, of course!

It was quite the journey, but we made it and it was AMAZING. Our seats were in the 3rd row balcony, which weren't too bad, but the pictures didn't turn out too well. I got a few decent shots. And I took some videos, but Garth's people take those down from the internet pretty fast, so I'm not even gonna try to post them. These pictures are all out of order, but that's okay...

This was my midnight snack in the train station. Our train left at 12:40am. We got home a little after 2am. Public transportation is nice, but not always timely.

And this was on the drive out, while I was stopped at a toll booth. The Cyclones played the best 2nd quarter ever, but forgot about the other quarters, apparently.

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots...

After the show we got some ice cream to help sooth our throats.

Boots on the train. City slicker.

We had some time to kill, so we found a nice little patio overlooking the river downtown. 

Some of these pictures might be repeats, but they're worth it.

And, after our 5 hours of sleep, breakfast at Nosh. This french toast is to die for. 

Before the show--so excited!

After the show--exhausted. And that was before the 6 hours of traveling back home.

And, Garth now has ALL of his music on sale for $30. All of it. So, naturally, I bought it. :)
