American Idol Concert

Steve had a business trip to Japan this week so he decided to take Brooklyn with him. They left Monday morning and will be gone for a week. Steve has a day and a half of business meetings and then they are taking the next 5 days to go site seeing in and around Tokyo. We have had several e-mails, text messages and pictures sent to us over the past couple of days and they are having a great time. We do miss them but Mackenzie and I are not sitting around here all sad and depressed while Steve and Brooklyn are in Tokyo playing! No way...we are livin it up! Yesterday afternoon I purchased 2 tickets from a guy off of Craigslist for the American Idol concert in Tacoma last night. We have never purchased tickets from someone off of Craigslist before but everything worked out and the tickets were legit!
On our way down to Tacoma we stopped off at the Cheesecake Factory for an early dinner.

Mackenzie wanted cheesecake but we didn't have time to eat it there so we took a slice to go and we shared it on our way down to the concert. Yum...chocolate raspberry truffle!

Here we are just before the concert started.

Mackenzie and I were up on our feet and jammin to the music most of the night. See the lady behind Mackenzie in the pink sweater. She asked Kenz to sit down so they could see. HELLO...we are at a concert you know and 3/4 of the crowd was up on their feet rockin to the the tunes! So we ignored her and enjoyed the concert up on our dancing feet!

Matt Giraud rocked on the piano!

At intermission Mackenzie bought this cute American Idol t-shirt. She put it on for the second half of the concert.

Allison Iraheta was so good and really had the audience rockin!

Danny Gokey sang the Michael Jackson song, "Pretty Young Thing" (PYT) as a tribute to the King of Pop! He also sang the Rascal Flats song, "My Wish" which I loved.

Adam Lambert was by far the best of all the performers and was the audiences favorite. He sang 4 songs and a couple of groups songs but our favorite was "Mad World".

Kris Allen was amazing. He played a little guitar and also piano. Mackenzie and I had a great time. Our seats were awesome - 8 rows up off the floor on the left hand side of the stage so we were really close. Steve has our good camera with them in Japan so I only had our small camera but it was fun to capture our fun night out on the town together. Mackenzie and I have decided that we are definitely going to the 2010 American Idol Concert! It was awesome.
