Sunday's concert at the KISS Country Chili Cookoff ROCKED!!! We got there late and missed Trick Pony, but we were just in time for Craig Morgan. Next up was Van Zant, oh my gosh they were so awesome!!! They didn't beat Skynyrd of course, but they came close enough. They played almost the entire country album, as well as Sweet Home Alabama, Wild-Eyed Southern Boys, and Red White & Blue. We were about 250 feet from the stage, to the right, under a giant tree. The roots were a pain to sit on, and people kept walking all over us to get over the small hill we were on, but other than that it was an awesome view!There's tons of pictures from the entire concert on the KISS Country website. I was still getting over my cold then and had a bad cough, but it improved enough so that I could scream like a howler monkey and sing along to every single song!! Of course, that really irritated my cough and I could hardly speak all day Monday... Gretchen Wilson was on after Van Zant, how much do I adore her!!! She did all of her best songs, and even threw in a bit of Jimi Hendrix. Keith Urban was next, I loved him too! He was awesome, but we decided to leave during his set to beat the crowd. Not only that, the friends we were with had to get going, and we were all tired anyway. On the way out, we stopped by a vendor that was selling hats and I got a lovely "tea-stained" brown straw cowgirl hat. It has a black chord around it with black, tooth-shaped beads around the front. I like it much better than my white hat - it's a better contrast to my skin coloring, and matches my eyes. It's more Native American style too, with the beads and all. Reguarding my stupid internet connection, I tried once again to hook up the stuff Earthlink sent me, but it turns out I need a phone jack in here after all. ARGH. Dad's going to install one for me, hopefully in the next couple days. I hooked the retarded cable modem back up and it's working fairly well now. When I called Earthlink it was very confusing. I spoke to two guys with either Middle Eastern Indian or Arab accents. Nothing against them, they were very kind and tried to help, but I couldn't understand what the crap they were saying half the time. Anybody applying for a job answering phones to help people shouldn't be allowed to have a thick accent like that. The only thing I was able to determine from my call was that I do, indeed, need a phone jack in here. Even though I was told I wouldn't, since we got a wireless router. *siiiiiiiigh* Three people told me a bunch of different things, but when I hooked the modem up to the phone jack in the other room, it seemed to work, so hopefully when I get a jack in here, it'll work then. I'm confusing myself just typing this. Nobody I spoke to seemed to get it that we don't have a phone jack in the room that the computer is in. Plain and simple! So the guy finally understood and told me to take the computer in the other room. ...............easier said, than done, buddy. I'll end this post with an intriguing photo of mushrooms.  |

The concert sounds like fun. Haven't been to one myself in years. It's funky to see all the same bands that I grew up with still popular today. Guess you just can't beat a classic, eh!

Glad you had a great time at the concert! :D
I'm getting over a cough too, but as with you, it's improving! :)
Love,
