Bon Jovi Concert 3/9/13

Mom and I went to see BON JOVI in CLE on March 9th 2013

It was a freaking AWESOME show!!

We had such a great time.

Plus it was streamed live over the Bon Jovi website so Q and Hubby got to watch too!

I think Hubby got better pics than I did haha.

My tee shirt from the 2001 One Wild Night tour

May 5th 2001 (I love google, you know I can pull up that set list?? Saw them Aug 30 1995 too on the These Days tour, I have that tee shirt too, and I can pull that set list too. I just might have to do that... )

Anyway- back to 2013.

All the screens had this on them.

You could even get a pic with the cardboard cutout Jon...

Hubby got me this program

****they had the set shift into the backdrop of Downtown Cleveland. At the end of this you could tell they still had one more song in them. At this point JBJ was like, One last song, I'm tired LOL however earlier in the encore he said they had no where else to be. MMMhmmm. Then the drums started and...

***** I WAS SO EXCITED, love this song =) And at this point they had only played it at 2 other venues.

Apparently if you have XM/Sirius Channel 142 is ALL BON JOVI for now. I don't know for how long though.

WIP Wednesday: For real this time

So here is a real WIP for Wednesday!

I am making this as part of the Bernat CAL (Crochet-a-Long)

It was supposed to be a scarf...that was going to be LOOOOOONG.

A nice stash buster I am hoping...

So I modified it to be a blanket...that might still be long..

.and might be 6 months instead of a year long project...

http://belladia.typepad.com/bella_dia/2006/11/vintage_vertica.html

Started Feb 24 2013

At the beginning of March (when I had finished what would be January) It was already 27 inches long. So mow my 6 month CAL blanket will now be a 3 month....
