Sunday evenings are usually pretty low key for me. Not this week. I revisited the joy of my high school years with a trip to Atlanta and a Poison concert. I became the 3rd wheel to 5th Street and his misses. And let’s just say the three of us had a BALL!

I should leave it at that, but we all know that I won’t. So, on the drive home at 1:00AM, I made a little list. Some items on this list are reflective of myself and some are just because….but there’s 10 total.

1. Rockstars are hard to take pictures of. They are always jumping around and banging their heads. Truly harder to photograph than my children. Exhibit A….

2. If you wear heals to a Poison concert and spend 4 hours “Unskinny Bopping” your toes will go numb, even if they are a cork wedge (which are suppose to be more comfortable, that’s a filthy lie). I still haven’t regained feeling in the toes on my right foot, seriously, but walk just fine in case you are concerned. And as a side note, probably a good thing my husband didn’t attend this concert with us, because I would have embarrassed him “Unskinny Bopping” like I was 16 again.

3. Sebastian Bach is not the hottie I remember from 1989, what a disappointment. Almost as disappointing as when I figured Aqua Net wasn’t the miracle product for my hair. “Look What the Cat Dragged In” in Exhibit B….

4. I have gone through 33 years of life and never-ever heard of a band called Dokken. Call me sheltered.

5. Does anyone know where I can find a pair of pants like these? They are necessary to my wardrobe. How cool are black velvet pants with studded silver crosses down the side? Exhibit C….

6. Sebastian Bach also spits on his audience as well as drop kicks water bottles. 5th Street can unfortunately attest to this one, so bummed I didn’t get a picture, I was too busy crawling across the couple beside me to avoid saliva.

7. I still know every single word of “Every Rose has Its Thorn.” One of my top 10 favorite songs of all time (don’t make fun). I sang it like I was 15 and had just broken up with the high school love of my life.

8.Bret Michaels shaves his armpits. Why, I’m not sure. But, bet you didn’t get that tidbit of information on Rock of Love, season 1 or 2. Exhibit D…

9. I really didn’t need my earplugs after all.

10. CC Deville is the coolest, coolest, coolest. Exhibit E….

His persona is larger than life and he’s a showman in the true essence of the word. I loved seeing him perform live.

But, the way he fills a room with humility and authenticity is truly inspiring. Thanks for the opportunity CC.
