UDPATE:
Concert was fantastic. Getting to the venue (Arrowhead Stadium) was a freaking joke and horrible. We were an hour late just trying to get to the parking lot. Thankfully the concert started 1/2 late, so only missed a few Stevie Nicks songs. But what a joke it was. Someone was telling us even football games are the same. But Billy Joel was awesome. It was SO hot.. over 100 degrees even with the sun down. I always forget how hot/muggy it can get there. But this was on the next level.. blech.. I bought my overpriced tee-shirt and a sweatshirt (I REALLY liked the graphics on both). It was funny, I wore my tee shirt on the drive back home. I got no less that five or six comments on it on our drive back home. So guess it was worth it.
------------------------
It's been a weird summer.. I know I posted before.. first Taylor Swift and now tomorrow heading with my friends to see Billy Joel in Kansas City. KC is kinda my hometown so I am excited that I know I can pull into town and basically know where I am going.. lol.. We are having some good BBQ at Smokehouse (if you are from KC I am sure you know this place).. then heading to Arrowhead (BOO Chiefs.. haha) to see the concert and basically back home Sunday. Phew. Oh and one stop before heading out of town, picking up a bunch of my favorite pizza, IMO's. They now sell it frozen at Price Chopper. IMO's isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's my favorite!

Have a wonderful time. Billy Joel is excellent in concert. I saw him back when he did the dueling pianos show with Elton John.

A bit ago we drove from MD to Ohio to see the show. I love Billy Joel and it was a great concert. Started around 7 and after the 2 of them sang it was like 1130/1145 for us leaving.
You. An tell it has been a while since Stevie toured, and Billy seemed so much more comfortable performing and keeping the crowd going. After seeing the show I am now looking to get tix to see them again in October here in Baltimore.
Have a such a fun time!!!

You better pack all the ice, because we're back under Excessive Heat Watch through Thursday. I hope you have a great weekend though! I'll be staying in the a/c down here in Olathe.

I been checking the temps.... it's brutal. It's hot here too but it's "dry" heat.. not MO/KS heat. I have a couple of portable little fans that we used at the Taylor Swift concert that I am bringing. They are cheap little things so hoping they will last and if they won't let us bring them in, I can toss. Olathe sure has grown since I left KC.. used to be hardly anything there.. lol.. It's really a great town. |

Safe travels to and from KC!!!! Pack sunscreen! You can take 1 20oz sealed bottle of water with you. If you have a medical condition, you can go online and fill out form for an exception to take more in with you.
Have a fabulous time!!!
I'm out by the Speedway!

I see it in my future. You know I was born in raised in Gladstone.  That makes me sad about the stadium. I also grew up going to games—my dad had season tickets. Section 180, row R, seats 1 and 2. So many memories! |
