We went to a rockin' concert Friday night with some friends. We clapped and cheered. We sang along and Curtis almost threw a bra onstage (ala Brooke and Co.). It was soooooo cool. The group we saw was Rockapella and we were one of the few young people there. It was held at the Wig Wam Resort in Avondale which is very close to retirement community of Pebble Creek (amongst others). Actually there were several high school choirs there, and a group of college kids from NAU. I guess we were actually part of the "older" crowd...(sniff)
Anyways, it was so fun to hear live. I actually got the autograph of the lead singer, he's an Owen Wilson-look-alike, but my scanner went on the fritz and I don't know what's wrong with it, so I can't brag and show. I can only brag.
The percussionist was amazing. He could beat-box like no other. He had these little microphones attached to his neck as well as a standard microphone. His face was so fun to watch. It twitched and contorted with every sound. He was making so many different sounds that I'm sure even his eyelids made noise. And the bass singer....George (sigh).....was dreamy and sexy. He had the deepest, smoothest voice I've ever heard. He made Barry White sound like a soprano.
The lead singer (Owen Wilson's stunt-double) reminded me of a blond Steve Perry.
The other two singers were also fabulous. Their voices were like angels.
The group was funny and so entertaining. If you get a chance to go, you should. I think they are going to be in Texas next week. Check them out at http://www.rockapella.com/.
On a totally different note: I went to card club last week. The 40 tags I got in exchange for mine were so fancy and cute. They made mine look pieces of paper that got stuck to my shoe in the bathroom of the state fair. Pictures to come, but I wish my scanner worked so I could scan some of them. They are truly amazing and could give you great ideas to make your own. I'll work on the scanner.
Hope your day is great!!!

We saw Rockapella in concert a few years ago! We were so totally impressed and thought they were really fun and good. Did they do where in the world is carmen san diego? too bad we didn't go with you. We love them!
I LOVE Rockapella!
I actually saw them at a mall back when I was like 13. That was in the days of "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego". Ahh good times!
