CARRIE AND KEITH



 So last Saturday I went to Biloxi, Mississippi to see Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood. First, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe because none of us had seen it before and it was really really nice! We hit up the buffet and we each played a dollar on the slots! haha Then we spent forever in the car trying to get 5 miles down the street ... that was annoying!! Then we had to park in egypt, because Yates was doing construction! While we were walking Lacey said I hope they don't give us any problems because I emailed ticketmaster yesterday because I could not find the tickets. Yeah well we get up there and the guys says "you will have to go to the will call window." We stood there listening to Carrie while these people decided if they were going to let us in or not. 

So we finally got in and found our seat ... Carrie was AMAZING!! She hit every note perfectly. It was hard to believe she was really singing because it was so perfect ... but she would start talking or laughing while she was singing ... so she was for real! I love her. I think she is so pretty and I love that she doesn't get caught up in Hollywood. She graduated High School Salutitorian and although she won Idol, she still finished College Magnum Cum Laude. She is also a vegan and advocate for Peta. She rocked out, but she dances like a white girl ... it was funny. 

Then it was Keith's turn ... and although I really liked his songs ... I wasn't crazy about him. Well now I am. He has the cutest, sweetest personality. He was so appreciative for everyone being there. He is an awesome guitar player. He just rocked out the whole time. There were four other guitar players with him, two were old friends of his. They were all just having so much fun. You could tell how much they really love what they do, and although I am sure the money helps ... they don't do it for that. It was so funny because since he plays the guitar he needs a mic stand. Well the people would run after him with the stand and one time he went out into the crowd, and stood on the stairs and sung. There was a girl trying to take a picture with him, even though he was singing ... well he stopped signing in the middle of the verse and took the picture with her. Then he takes his guitar off, grabs a sharpie out of his pocket and hands it to a guy! Talk about an amazing electric guitar!!!! Then later he put his guitar down and picked up the mic to sign and walked down the stage, well about half way through he had to start playing again so he just threw the mic into the crowd! They must of given away 1,000 guitar picks too. 

FUNNY STORY AT THE CONCERT:

So where we were sitting we had the best view of this woman that was standing behind the chairs on the floor section and she just would not stop dancing. All through Carrie she was gettin' down and holding something pretending she was Carrie belting out the songs. It was so funny, and we kept talking about her. Then in between Carrie and Keith this woman just kept on going ... it was so funny. Well then this guy shows up and starts dancing next to the girl. Well a few minutes go by and he looks up and says 5 minutes! His friends/family dared him to dance with her for 5 minutes. It was hilarious! We could not stop laughing. This meant that the people ALL the way at the top were watching this girl too.
