What A Surprise! The B-52s!!!

My parents really know how to surprise a little girl. They had known about this for months but somehow kept it a secret! See Grandma, my Mama CAN keep a secret if she really wants to. Anyway, this was my first "real" concert. It was the first time the B-52s had played in Athens in a very long time. And it was such a special concert. Here is a picture of us before we left. We first went to Utage to have some delicious Japanese food. And then we walked over to the Classic Center to enjoy the show. I could hardly contain myself when Kate, Cindy, Fred and Keith came out on stage. I shook my cosmic thing for 2+ hours. What a memorable evening.

The B-52s were also having this concert filmed for DVD release. Their manager said that although they play all over the world, when it came time to film this DVD, they wanted to come home to Athens. It was an amazing night. Maybe you'll see us on the DVD! Here is a video (shot by someone else since ours didn't turn out as good) that recaps some of the highlights of the evening that I will never forget.



Alright REM, when are YOU guys coming back home for a show? I'm not getting any younger, you know!
