Jamie's concert Thursday night was so awesome! They sounded, oh, my God, so good! Jamie is very talented, but he had to practice his ass off to get up to speed playing this type of music. So I really loved seeing him on stage, which is something he's wanted to do for a long time.
The day of the concert, I asked my friend, Brenda, via email, "Should I throw my enormous white undies at Jamie while he's on stage? Isn't that what ladies do at music concerts?" and she responded, "Why yes, you absolutely have to throw some granny panties at him. It's expected and offense will be taken if you don't. And remember the proper throwing etiquette: you must first twirl them high in the air on the end of your upthrust index finger while yelling "YOOHOO! YO, JAMIE!" until you've gained everyone's attention and possibly a spotlight, before throwing them onstage. Removing your shirt is optional and sometimes inappropriate."
Anyway, I was too busy talking to people to do the underwear thing. Actually, I talked a little too much because I missed one of Jamie's songs. Other nice things, I got asked to dance and lots of strangers complimented me on what I was wearing. Oh, and I was asked for my ID (they ID'd everyone, but whatever!! That never happens to me anymore even though I look Really Young!!).
This is the best photo of the band I managed to get. Jamie's on the right behind the bass player.
The girls spent the evening with a family we're friends with and had a great time.
Oh! And *major* thanks to my fabulous friend, Jana, who got me un-lost all the way from Louisiana!

I don't know why I bother to impart my hard-earned wisdom when you're just going to ignore it. Don't come crying to me when one of those notorious Pride of Indy Jazz groupies snags Jamie with a skillfully thrown pair of drawers.
The girls are all just darling, by the way. A marshmallow roast over candles!
Hi, Brenda! There will be *lots* of other concerts.
And thanks for the kind words about the girlies!
