Motley Crue and KISS Concert

Months ago Rob told me he was going to get us tickets to go see Motley Crue and KISS. I thought he was joking, but when the tickets showed up in the mail a few weeks later, I knew he was serious. Does my husband know me at all? Does this sound like something I would want to do? It's not often that we get out and is this how I would want to spend my time? A nice dinner would have been more up my alley. Motley Crue is 'ok' but I can't say I like them enough to go see them in concert. I am not a fan of KISS at all....the only song I know is 'I Wanna Rock and Roll.'  I was not exactly thrilled but agreed to go.

The day of the concert, it was rainy and yucky outside. I was secretly hoping that it would get canceled! My luck, the weather cleared up so I knew we would be going to the concert. What does one wear to see Motley Crue and KISS? I am definitely not feeling it in my post-baby body and am not happy with the way anything fits. I had a feeling I'd see lots of girls in skimpy clothing (and I did). We also saw lots of people with their faces painted and other questionable clothing choices. I opted for jeans (which I was surprised that I was able to fit into) and a cute black tank. It was pretty cold outside that I needed a sweater. As soon as Rob got home from work, we hit the road. The concert was at the First Midwest Ampitheater. Rob also had passes to the VIP club (which sounds cooler than it actually was). It was a large outdoor bar area that served food and drinks. It was nice to sit down and enjoy a cocktail before the concert (even if beers were $11 each).

We had seats in the pavillion (thank god). I've sat in the lawn for many concerts but this is one I was thankful we had actual seats for. Motley Crue came on first. I will admit, they put on a pretty good damn show. I was pleasantly surprised. They were very entertaining and I knew at least 5 or 6 of the songs they played. I actually had a lot of fun! I was happy that Motley Crue came on first so we didn't have to sit all through KISS to see them. After Motley Crue finished up, KISS took the stage. We only stayed for their opening and the first two songs. By leaving early, we avoided the congestion of the parking lot and missed all of the traffic getting out. Overall, it was fun getting out with my husband and it was something a little out of the norm of what we would typically do!
