Flashback Friday - Concerts!

Linking up again today with Emily for Flashback Friday!



I have been lucky and blessed to have attended sooooooo many concerts in the short 27yrs I've been on this earth.  I used to be a REALLY good record keeper, but have slacked on that as of late.  When I was still in high school and just after I could literally sit down and write out every band I had seen live, even the ones from Music Midtown.  Now thinking back on that I have no idea how I could remember all of those...sheesh!

So in honor of Flashback Friday, I thought I would show off *some* of the shows I have attended.  This is a photo of all the ticket stubs I kept track of throughout middle/high school.  After that, most of our ticket stubs are kept in a special book I bought Hardy for Christmas one year and I don't feel like taking a picture of every single stub....

Instead here are the ticket stubs I had neatly secured in my Senior Book and below is a list of each one.  FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANNOT GET BLOGGER TO STOP POSTING IT LANDSCAPE INSTEAD OF PORTRAIT.  I hope you all enjoy giving yourself a crick in your neck trying to look at it...argh

I have lots of guitar picks that I caught at various shows, as well as wristbands and autographs...but who has time to take a photo of all that???  Not me :)  Over the last few years our concert days have slowed down.  We still attend some, but it's not nearly as frequent since we're the ones paying for them - ha ha.
