rocked

We're had a stomach bug sweep through our house and I so very ignorantly ignored the signs that I would be the next victim.

I had tickets to the Bret Michael's show at the Grizzly Rose. I was promised a peek of the Rock of Love tour bus and a very eccentric crowd - I was not let down! Before I headed to the show I made a BBQ meatloaf for B and the girls & much to my surprise B told me Annabelle ate nearly an entire slice. I HATED meatloaf when I was a kid so this was a very pleasant surprise!! I guess B is right - everything tastes better with a little bbq sauce.
I met up with Gus, Sheila, and Jen for a quick dinner before the show and then headed to the Grizzly Rose to meet Sarah. WOW - what a crowd!! There was quite an age range and some very interesting clothing choices. Luckily my friends and I are not judgemental or we would have had a field day discussing what people should not leave their home wearing. ;) I was quite impressed that women can still get their bangs to poof up like that - mine didn't even stand up that high in the 80's.

I was having a great time and just enjoying all the people watching when I had a sudden rush of nausea. It felt like being pregnant all over again! I ran to the bathroom and suprisingly I wasn't the only one throwing up in there - mine was probably the only one not alcohol induced though! I tried my best to stick it out but I lost my cookies again and it was 10 pm, two cover bands later, and still no Bret. I decided to head home and cut my losses. I didn't get to see Bret Michaels but I did see Amber - the winner of Rock of Love 2. Those women are nuts!

I got play by play updates about the rest of the concert from Gus and Sheila via text and crazy - Bret didn't go on until 10:45 and only played an hour. I spent the rest of the night making sure I had absolutely nothing left in my stomach and feeling very very sorry for myself. I was also feeling pretty bad for B and GG who had the bug earlier this week!

Hanging out with The Gus like old times - lots and lots of fun!
