I should have Googled it!

What a weekend!  Full of fun, concerts, friends and several adult beverages thrown in for good measure.

Friday night I was in Downtown Dallas at the Nasher Museum of Art, on the lawn to see the lead singer from BFS  play an acoustic show.  It was nice.  The best was when he sang the theme song from Phineas and Ferb!  Not sure how he was able to wrangle that gig but when I have The Kidlet, I hear it on average 10 times a day.  If he gets paid per episode including repeats, he is bankin' mad cash like Jay Z.

Saturday was spent in Funky Town (AKA Downtown Fort Worth) at Panther Island Pavillion in Trinity Uptown for the Solar Powered Music Festival which was benefiting the Pug Rescue.  The pre party was at Rob's house by the pool where I met "the friends".  I knew that it was going to be a good night when the two other women and I bonded instantly.  We arrived in enough time with our VIP Pug Passes to enjoy cocktails and people watch before The Romantics hit the stage.  Time has not been kind to those guys at all but they still rock, "Talking in Your Sleep".  I really should have worn tacky lingerie and big hair to mirror the 1980-something video models.

Rob has been psyched about seeing English Beat for the last week.  In my head, I was thinking that I only know of one song and for the life of me; I could not understand why they were headlining this concert.  Whatever, it was going to be a fun night out with fun people so I went with it.

At 10:30pm we leave the VIP tent and head toward the stage.  Positioning could not have been more perfect, we were in the front row.  The band starts playing.  I'm thinking that this must be a new song because I don't recall.  Same with second and third.  I was having fun, dancing with the crowd while Rob knew every word of every song behind me.  Finally, I turn around and screamed in his ear (it was crazy loud), "When are they going to sing, I'll Stop the World and Melt With You"?  He was grinning from ear to ear, "Girl, that is Modern English not English Beat".  Hmmm, I felt like a total ignoramus and wished the ground would form a hole and suck me into it immediately.

Luckily, our group found my little state of confusion to be humorous rather than dense.  I will say that I was able to redeem myself when we piled back into the car to head home. I was able to sing word for word, OMD (If You Leave) as well as a little Led Zeppelin (Stairway to Heaven).  Neither song was in tune but I was not being scored on my vocals as much as my ability to recite lyrics.  Yeah me!

It was a great weekend and no, we did not leave with a new Pug.  Lucy is all the bitch I can handle at this time.
