Luke Bryan - Klipsch Music center

Shauna & I headed to Indy to see Luke Bryan last Friday night.  We weren't able to leave from home until 5:00 so by the time we jumped in the car & stopped for a gas fill up we got there around 8:00 & the 2nd opener, Little Big Town, was performing.  
We worked our way through the massive crowd in the grass area (that's how I know I'm getting old{er}-all those young people acting like fools & being all up in our way totally irritated me).  We stopped so I could potty, we could get drinks (priorities...) & we found our seats.
We were lucky enough to get a mini-show from the girls in the row in front of us.  
Now-I don't know how I look when I'm dancing around...but I'm betting it looks NOTHING like this.
NOTHING.
I don't even think my hips work in those directions...
As we walked in it hit me that we had forgotten to stop & eat dinner.  NO I don't normally forget to eat but we were just chatting & driving to get there & it didn't even OCCUR to me to stop for food.
And then once I started drinking I didn't even CARE that I was hungry.
I would regret that later....

So the main man came out & I was pretty tipsy.  I'm a lightweight after all & I hadn't eaten anything since noon.  
By 10:00 pm I decided that I was, in fact, drunk so I did what any normal wife would do & that's text my hubby to inform him of my drunken state.  Please note the time was 10:00 pm & we had been drinking for 2 hours... on no food....


He didn't answer me back (until much later) but I figured he had fallen asleep.   I took a video of one of my favorite Luke Bryan songs 'Move' & I barely remember that.  I know Shauna was away from me at this point because I DO remember yelling at her, "You missed him singing my FAVORITE song".
That's another way I knew I was lit - I would never have said anything to her that she missed my favorite song.  What does she care?  
Now-If you're interested in seeing more pictures - there are none.
BUT if you're interested in 3 second videos - I can HOOK YOU UP.
Wait, you need a 2 second, black video?
GOT.IT.
And if a 2 second black video isn't enough - 
I HAVE ANOTHER.
(Marcia-this is about the time you need to turn away...)
So I'm not gonna lie to ya'll - we drank a LOT at this one.  At one point I was finishing my 2nd drink, but had my 3rd in the cup holder ready to be drank.  We walked out to go pee & when we came back (like 2-3 songs later) my drink was gone.
So I asked the lady next to me, "Did YOU drink my drink?"  Of course she lied said, 'No'.  I said, "Well then - WHAT happened to it?"
(this is another way we know I was drunk...I wouldn't talk to someone that way normally.)
She tried to sell me some story that 'oh there were a lot of people in & out of here {we were on the end of the row} while you were gone - maybe one of them got it?'
Then I had to report to Shauna that I thought the lady drank my drink & she proceeded to ask her the same question.
Lucky for HER the concert was ending so they left.  We always hang out for a bit in our seats to let the crowd clear & I looked down a few seats & there was an almost full drink JUST LIKE THE ONE I HAD.
HUH.
So I snatched it up & on our way out of the venue we drank it.
No, that wasn't the best idea in hindsight...but we were drunk what did we care?

Ok-so we sat in the parking lot for a few hours to talk sober up & pee.  Shauna has a whole elaborate system where we pee next to her car & no one sees us & it's way better than the nasty port-a-potty.  We open both doors & then we take turns holding a towel or blanket while the the other one pees for privacy.  
And by the 3rd time I had to pee there were a few cars still in the parking log but it was dark & I didn't care about privacy.  I think(??) I remember announcing that I didn't care who saw me peeing - if they wanted to watch me pee that was their problem. 
I'm not proud of myself, people...

Now if you think this is the low point of the night - it's not  - it was gonna get worse.  So we sat for a few hours & headed to the gas station right outside the venue.  We pee'd (for the 4 millionth time), got a Sprite & some snacks to eat.
We sat in THAT parking lot a bit longer & then we felt like we were ready to leave.  We got onto the on-ramp of the interstate & Shauna lit a cigarette. The smell of the cigarette combined w/ the few combos I had eaten hit me, my stomach turned & I had to make her pull over ON the         on-ramp so I could vomit.

Good times.

B-rad finally decided to get back to his drunk ass wife at 2:15AM.  
And the conversation below is kinda why I love him. 
We never miss a beat to make fun of each other...

We made it back to Shauna's safe & sound.  I had to drive home & I got there around 4:30 AM(!).  B-rad was still awake (yes, he's a night owl) & I didn't remember until the next day when he reminded me but I had asked him what he ate for supper & he said, 'White Castles' to which he said I responded, "UGHHHHHH".

Typically I don't drink enough to do that kind of damage to myself because I'm a control freak so NO I'm not proud of myself.  B-rad said, 'you paid $20 for a drink but wouldn't buy a $5 hot dog?' 
UHM it never occurred to me to buy food...I started drinking & that was it.
Game over.
Even though I'm not proud of myself we still had a hell of a good time & really isn't THAT all that matters?
I think so!

Well, I have not always been a old lady, BUT what in the world were you doing picking up a random drink. What if it had been drugged and then you got raped and scraped! Don't leave your drink unattended. Love you!

Marcia- I know, I KNOW I was a very bad girl! (That's why I told you to stop reading! HA!) Next time (good LORD I hope there's not a next time) I will snatch up my extra drink so no one steals it/laces it with date rape drugs! ;)
