Rockin Dropkicks!

Alright so last weekend was my last hooray before the baby gets here! Off to Chicago for the Dropkick Murphy's show at the house of Blues! Okay so It was to be ME (Of Course) and Shawn (Stepson 17 yrs old) and my cousins son Nels (15 yrs old). Since they put an extra show on later that night they actually made ours earlier and it started at 6:30. So being the positive roll model of a parent that I am I took the kids out of school early so we could get there on time! I know I am going to win Mother of the Year!
So off we go and when we get to Metamora my cars starts acting up! So we drive back to Peoria to trade cars with my mom and an hour late we get going again. We are staying at the W hotel on LSD. Pretty nice place. But off to House of Blues. We get inside while the first band was playing.
Okay so the line up was to be Aggrolites, Sick of it All and then Dropkicks!
Well Lead singer for Sick of it All was out because of back problems so The Briggs started off the show and the Aggrolites went on second. Nothing really fun to report on the opening bands.
So I found a safe spot on the stairs with the banister protecting half of me and I could actually see over the pit. So told the guys to meet me downstairs after the concert.
Finally dropkicks came on and as planned they did not disappoint!
Highlights:
**Sang Forever &Good Rats! They usually don't play these songs!
** Commended us for being true fans who bought there tickets months ago before the movie Departed!
**Shawn got up on stage for the last song...Skinheads on the MTBA. Got to sing with Ken Casey!

Lowlights:
**Being Pregnant at the show didn't allow me to get on stage for Spicy McHagggis Jig or Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced!

BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT!!!!
they never play my favorite song "Dirty Glass" because they have a guest singer named Stephanie Dougherty. Surprise she was there and they sang it!!! KICK ASS!!!

So we survived the trip and all is well!

Rock on!
