Kenny Chesney

Wednesday, Sept. 10th was the end to my summer. I know summer had really already ended but it wasn't officially over for me until this day. It was my last Kenny Chesney concert of the year. He was the beginning to my summer and now he was end. It was held at the new BOK center in Tulsa. Tony was supposed to go, but how convenient he had to leave for CA that morning. Sarah was going instead. We left Miami around 4:15 drove in the rain to Tulsa. It had been years since I had been to downtown Tulsa and wasn't for sure where I was going. I followed the signs. By the way it was raining so that didn't help the situation. We made it downtown without any problem and found the BOK center right off. Next, on the agenda was to find somewhere to eat. However, downtown is horrible! It's all 1-way streets. UGH!!! I couldn't find anything! Again, it was raining. Sarah remembered there was a Spaghetti Factory close and we found it. There was a little problem though. I was driving on a 1-way road and was going to turn into the SF and some stupid lady tried to pull out when I was going to pull in. She almost hit me! She pulled out at an angle, so I couldn't turn into the parking lot. I had to keep going. She pulled out behind me and get up on my tail, swerving erratically and trying to hit my car. I turned the corner to go around the block and stopped at a stop sign. How she didn't hit my car I have no clue. Next thing I know, she is out of her truck coming up to my door. Sarah is on the phone with Brooke just yakking away. This skanky lady (40 years old I'd say) comes up to my car and starts cussing me out telling me she's going to punch my face in. She apparently though I flipped her off, however I didn't. I had my arm propped on the window with my fingers at top of the window. I could smell alcohol on her breath. She kept rambling on about how I was a bitch and needed to get the hell out before she hit me. It was really quite funny, all I would've had to do is open the car door and she would've fallen over. After that little episode, we made it safe and sound to the SF. We only had to wait about 15 min. While were waiting I overheard some people talking about how LeAnn Rimes wasn't going to be there as she was sick and that Miranda Lambert was taking her place. I sooo thrilled!!!!! I went to ask the couple to confirm. They did and I told them I was so glad!! They proceeded to tell me that they've watched LeAnn grow up and really loved her. Oops! Don't think they were too thrilled I was glad she wasn't going to be there. Oh well! Sarah was just as excited! I love Miranda! Our dinner was awesome. Sarah and I both had Manicotti (half with Alfredo half with red sauce). Delicious! After dinner, we made our way to the BOK and parked for $5 a few blocks away. The BOK is so awesome and beautiful. Our seats were wonderful. We are the 1st full section right by the stage where it T's in row 17. GREAT SEATS!!

I really don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Brother Trouble was the 1st act (Next Big Star). They were really good and I loved some of their songs. Next, came Miranda Lambert

She put on an awesome set. She is so full of energy and has the best kick-ass attitude! Sarah and I were so happy and impressed! She's not this skinny little thing, she's real and sings about real things and events! She rocks!!! After her high energy show it was time for Kenny. This makes my 9 or 10th show and each time it's just as amazing as the last. I know it would be rockin! The lights went down, the screen came on and the little Pirate intro started and the music came on and up he came. The crowd was wild!!!! He put on a amazing show. Another surprise was Uncle Kracker was there. There were only 3 more shows left (counting this one) and UK was there for them. They did their normal, WTSGD, Follow Me, and Drift Away. He ended with my fav. song She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy. The show was loud, amazing, and most of all it made me forget about all my troubles! That's what his shows do for everyone. It was over about 10:30. We were home by 1:00. It was easy to find the HWY and get back on 44. I was so tired on Thurs. though. It was well worth it!!! Hopefully I'll be able to go next year but with marriage and all who knows. Tony owes me one!!!
