fighting the foo

earlier this month, richard's cousin john invited us to go to the foo fighters

concert with him and his wife jen.  we don't only own one foo fighters

album between the two of us, but we love john and jen (and a free concert),

so of course we said yes.

we met at their house, with just enough time to rile up their kids

before the babysitter came over, and then headed to the show.

the husbands aren't allowed to be the only planners anymore because

apparently we were supposed to all have dinner together, but i never got

that memo and ended up making dinner before we left.  jen and i will

be checking in with the masterminds for any future plans.

the tickets we had were for one of the luxury suites, but we started the

night down on the floor.  the opening act was ok - nothing to write home

about.  although, dave grohl did play drums for them!

we eventually made our way up to the box seats.

jen is really this tall.

we ended up knowing a lot more songs than we thought we would, just

like with U2 and kenny loggins.  we had a rockin' good time.

dave grohl is amazing.  they played about a million songs,

just like he promised they would, and he did a lot of screaming,

but you really couldn't hear it in his voice until the last song.

also note, he dances like a muppet.

they fought the foo until almost midnight, which means they played for

nearly 3 hours!  it was a great show, but i think its safe to say that we

were all about ready when it ended.

the ericksons know how to have a good time, and we are so glad they

took us along for the ride!
