Morning Janice……

Sounds like other than the two drunks behind you, it was a great concert. I’m jealous!
Regarding SATC, every woman I know got all dressed up, went to see the movie and
went to an all girl party last night here in Denver. I kept thinking, if I was a smart guy, I
would have found a way to go as well. Boy would I have had the pick of the litter…..all
those gorgeous women all dressed up!

It will be a beauitful weekend here in Denver, sunny and in the 80s. I am planning to go
for a motorcycle ride and also help my daughter move into her new house.

Stay safe and have a great weekend.

Sunny

By the way, I have not ever been part of a blog before. I wanted to say, this is a very nice place
to meet and interact with people from all over. Everyone is very nice, respectful and generally fun.

Janice…..I think it is your personality and demeanor that has set the tone here. Thank You.

Sunny

Glad you had fun..NOAA radio just went off…Tornado watch till 5:00 pm

Ooooh, the Eagles!!! That would have been fun… except for the drunken concert rats. I was among the hoards of girls & women going to the SATC movie. FABULOUS!!!!!!! Charlotte and Samantha shone. It was fabulous and I’m going to have to go again. Have a fabulous time tomorrow night!

JD I love Glenn Fry. But honestly once they start playing you just enjoy every song and every vocal you hear. I know they don’t speak to each other but I only want them to play, they don’t have to like each other for me to love the music they play.

I bet the drunks were my age, sad they paid that much and won’t remember most of it clearly.

Your first job sounds like a dream come true!

I’m not a good one to comment here because I have never been a band follower, nor a passionate TV series follower. But it does sound like fun!

My passions have been my Family and my Vocation (yep - capitalized!). Unfortunately, I all too frequently put them in the wrong order. Now, I regret that.

I really enjoy your weather reports on FoxNews. You make the science behind the weather more understandable to those of us in different areas of life. Thank you very much!

Your struggle with MS is one I understand, as I struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis and other autoimmune problems. Keep on keeping on, gal! You have a whole family down here in the SE in your cheering corner!

Hey JD glad the concert was a blast. as for rude people i know what you mean , i took my wife karen out a few monthes ago for a her birthday for dinner at a local french restraunte, apart from the crap service due to the chef going sick and the owner running around doing everything, we had these stuck up little student brats across from our table who were drunk all night and making comments about how my wife was eating her food so slowly and basically being pigs, my wife has a hand deformity that she was born with and its bad enough people stare at her alot over here , but it is annoying when your trying to have a nice night out and one or two people spoil it through their ignorance and self centered selfiousness, my wife may be only 5′2 in height and a size 8 waist but she is full of rage at people like that because people like that are just plain rude , anywayz the chick flick isn’t for me, its ment for chicks thats why they made the whole show in the first place, now how about American chopper the movie.?……. hehehe!, hello to Rob “sunny ” Roseman, take it easy

god bless Janice , to you and yours and all at FNC & fellow machine bloggers everywhere!!!!!!!

Deb

Hey to all the Bloggers..have a great weekend!!
Deb

Concerning the weather,

Every day is a sunny day for me, depending on my attitude. It’s usually good.

This is the first time on your blog. I like your giving the weather report. You are really great person.

Warning # 403 as of 3:05 pm Tornado Warning till 9:00 pm

Hi Janice! I have that group around me when I go to concerts and Broadway. I usually turn and say: “Who sings this song?” When they reply with the artists name, I quickly say (and loudly) “YEAH, lets keep it that way! Put a cork in it!”.

Good luck with your SATC hootenany. We came out of the Indiana Jones movie last night and saw the hen party forming up for the next show of that. There were a few guys (less than 10) and as we walked by each one, we made the whip sound and laughed at him. I don’t expect gals to come with me to see James Bond or any “guy” movie, women shouldn’t expect heterosexual men to go to this

Goddess,

You almost lost your Halo, LOL

well I have to admit that although I caught on the show pretty late (I must have missed the first two seasons) I liked Sex n the City for one main reason: unlike Friends or Seinfeld (which I love), it was REALLY shot on location in NY and although they often changed the names of bars and restaurants, you could recognize all of them. And needless to say it was easy and frequent to run into scenes they were shooting on location.

And I do think the show was clever & funny, and not exclusively targeted at women, especially if you were a single living in Manhattan!
This said I’m not sure I really need to see the movie. Is it any good?!

It’s ironic to think that since last time I saw the show on TV, I ended up living in the West Village (which is very European) and I do spot once in a while the SATC heroine, her hubby and their cute little kid. They are very cool. What I hate is Magnolia bakery and all the tourists who flock there because of the series: there’s a line every single day!
Honestly, everyone is capable of baking the same cupcakes. I call them kids cake.

I’m ashamed to admit I only know one song by the Eagles. WHAT?!
Yep But what a song!
It’s Hotel California.
When I was 11 or 12, the juke box in the arcade where my friends and I sneaked in to play pinball machines (it was forbidden to people under 16) used to play it all the times non stop.
When my brother got the record, I was scared but also completely fascinated by the cover album…(I didn’t understand the lyrics at the time!) and all the rumors about what really was Hotel California. (no internet at the time but rumors were buzzing all around the planet!). And I remember that during our first teenage parties, the song was notorious for being sooooo long for slow dancing

I still love that song.
Did they play it yesterday night???

Last concert I went to was Bruce Springsteen’s two years ago for the Seeger Session and I have to admit I couldn’t believe the audience was not dancing much despite a great rhythm’n blues music (this said, I was pretty far from the stage and I understand the music was different for true Bruce’s fans) and I felt disappointed. But I wouldn’t have stood up and danced if I were in the way of people behind me.

but I understand your feeling of frustration Janice.
That’s not fair when people ruin your experience; it’s very selfish. But I’m glad the Eagles performance was louder than your rude neighbors!

Going to the movies has become a real challenge for me: now everyone is making comments out loud around you as if they were home! I love audience laughters but not comments! It really annoys me and I end up only going to the first early shows during the weekend or the very last ones.
The worst is people taking their babies to movies that are clearly for grown-ups…or people eating smelly food next to you…especially during a dramatic scene :O

I went to the terrace of the Metropolitan Museum today. It was awesome. Nice view and funny sculptures.
With the view on midtown buildings over Central Park trees, I bet Margie would have taken the best pictures!

Guillaume

I ended up having to work…We got a few showers but not enough to keep customers away…

Truth be told I have only been to a handful (or less) concerts in my lifetime…For one thing when I was a teen there really was no such thing as “disabled” seating so finding a spot that I could get to was tough…Plus like you have noted people love to stand up etc etc..which means I end up looking at a bunch of backs and butts….

Now adays with there is “disabled” seating but if you are with a group you end up being split up because its you and one companion…

Same thing with sports arenas and stadiums…Unless you are in the very front you have people standing in front of you and see nada…

For me…things like going to a sporting event…a concert…and yes even a dance…only caused me pain….So along time ago I decided to not put myself thru that any more….Its not too often that I find the hardware shoved in my face to remind me that in the big picture I fall into a “different” category ….the above mentioned shoves it flat in my face….

Too painful and is part of the 1/4 empty glass that is normally 3/4 full…

Janice I am glad you had a good time though….Count your blessings that you werent staring at someone’s butt is the only perspective I can give you…

AFA SITC goes…Havent seen an episode to be honest and I dont know how much I would identify with them if at all…But the creator Candace Bushnell grew up in Glastonbuy and is a GHS graduate as I am…So..that is about the only “connection” I have to SITC…

Not sure if she would remember my mother who worked in the high school during that time….Everyone knew “Molly”….My mom rocks!!

Ooops…SATC….sorry about that…Been a long day…What am I saying??..Been a looong month!!

And its OVA..!! YEA

very good perspective Dawn about your experience at concerts; to be honest I’ve never thought of it but I’m glad you mentioned it.

The reason I don’t go anymore to big concerts myself is that the tickets are way too expensive. In that regard, Janice, I’m sure your hubby was happy and super appreciative you got him those tickets. Concert tickets are very nice gift.

I only go to small concerts in tiny places or bars in the city where friends play; and you could come to these places, Dawn, because they are never over crowded.
And there’s always the best ambiance because the artist can easily connect with the audience. (although no, no famous stars could afford - or would be willing - to do such small venues!)

When you come to New York, Dawn, do you go to museums? I find the museums to be very convenient, and accessible to everyone. Love the Met and the Moma.

Guillaume

I have only been a the city a couple of times Guillaume….When I was a kid we went to MSG for an equestrian event put on by the US Olympic team…Beautiful!!..

ANd then a couple of years ago I treated myself to a birthday trip and went to the city for a few days….Didnt get to either the Met or MoMA because 1)it was too cold and snowy 2) I did have some plans..IE the Christmas Show at Radio City and I wanted to see Ground Zero, Central Park…

I have so much more that I want to see when I venture back.. :).. and those are on my list..

Lady Liberty as well

I loved LOVED the access that I found when I was there…and though I found New Yorkers busy they were far from rude and were always more than willing to offer me some help if/when I needed it….

It was a positive exerience all the way around

OK so you have to come back to the city Dawn to go to the Metropolitan & MOMA museums AND Lady Liberty!!

I say that and there are still many MANY things I haven’t visited yet in the city :O

And I also definitely need to go back to Connecticut

Guillaume

LOL….and what parts of CT have you seen??

It really does have some beautiful areas..from the coast to the hills…

HI Janice just dropped by to say hello,and tell you to keep up the good work~we all love you
here in KY.

Hello to all the other bloggers~everyone have have a great weakend..stay safe….

Hartford and West Hartford

and Greenwich and Cos Cob..but I guess those don’t count, do they?!

Guillaume

Back in the ’90’s I saw James Taylor at the U of Iowa. I managed second row seats right in front of the stage, the only time I’ve ever had such phenomenal luck at a major concert. Besides the incredible seating, the audience was quiet and respectful for the most part. They were enjoying the show, but without the antics you had to put up with. We were there to hear the music, and we did. I wish every concert audience had that attitude. I’ve been through a similar experience to yours at many concerts, and I feel for you.

Hey Janice..

As I was thinking about your concert experience today..I remembered going to a Eric Clapton concert in Knoxville back in the mid 80’s with a group of people..one was a local teacher here..boy did she ever come out of her shell when she got to the concert!! She made a fool of herself BIGTIME..She did have a few drinks..but I think she a little too much of something I didn’t see..but witnessed the outcome of..She was jumping around screaming “I wanna hear Cocaine!!over and over..she was slurring and having a hard time even standing up..but she was determined she was going to meet Eric Clapton…so we let her brother deal with her..and we continued to enjoy the concert..After the concert was over..we started rounded up the people to go home and she was missing..we finally found her passed out under the stage..She had missed the whole Eric Clapton set..she didn’t get to hear Cocaine after-all…!!!!

Weather Update..we got some rain late this afternoon..and when I went to do some shopping this evening I saw a couple of trees down and alot of tree debri on the road..so south of me got hit a little harder..but nothing severe..

I’ll check in tomorrow..
Deb

Its 615am…58 out with good weather predicted for today..

Guillaume….The farm is not to far from either Hartford or W.Hartford…If you are up this way you have to stop in..Esp with veggie season coming in Aug-Sept…The farm is just a couple miles off of I91 (I believe the exit is exit 23 which is West St in Rocky Hill) …..really easy to get to…. So if you ever had a hunger for real fresh veggies…I know just the spot ..HA!

Our customers rave…RAVE I tell you…about our stuff

Gotta scoot….every one have a great day….

(Janice just watching the local news…There is a MS Bike ride going on in Windsor…27th annual if I caught that right..Been a bit distracted this moring)

(oh and I forgot to mention…We picked our first zucchini the other day…only getting enough for an every-other-day picking situaiton, but still…Its fresh from the fields )

Another great vocalist/drummer of the Classic Rock era is Levon Helm of The Band(remember The Last Waltz?).I really enjoy your blog. Thanks!!!!!
