What an adventure!

For quite some time now I have wanted to go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas show in Memphis. I just knew it would be fantastic and would indeed get me in the Christmas spirit. I LOVE when the infamous Christmas song comes on the radio and I have been known to blast the speakers and dance along with a giddy smile on my face. Okay, yes, it's about that bad. So, this year, Scott surprised me with tickets. I knew this was a BIG deal because he has NEVER been excited about the Christmas song like I am...it ranks right up there with Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" in his book. I knew this was a treat and I was thrilled.

So, off to Memphis we go. We went to The Peabody for a drink and to check out their Gingerbread Christmas display, then met some good friends for dinner and headed over to the FedEx Forum for the concert.

Wow. That's all I can say. Little did I know that the Trans-Siberian Orchestra had hours of thier own personal material other than the Christmas songs....and I certainly wasn't expecting to see a band that could cover for an AC/DC concert. It was intense. It was silly. It was a little over the top for me. And sweet Scott. He just sat patiently while I took it all in. There were lights, and lasers, and smoke, and LOUD music, and jumbrotrons (multiple!) with wolves and helicopters, and lots of drunk people head-banging. Wow.

I was glad we had our date night. But can definitely cross this one off my list. I think Willie Nelson concerts are more my speed.

Oh, and Baby T had quite a month--concerts from one extreme to another!
