Shareholder Concert

Who are those tired looking people? 

A set of parents, out on a mid week date night! Someone send those poor baggy eyed people away to a retreat spa for some r&r! 

The concerts were good! American Authors were definitely our favorite, but it was fun to hear the Goo Goo Dolls and reminisce about high school. Every time I hear the goo goo dolls, I think of my childhood friend, Katie Renville. She's and her mother were killed in a tragic car accident just over 10 years ago. Katie loved the goo goo dolls and really would have loved this concert! 

I digress. 

The pre concert energy at shareholder concerts is amazing, especially the international sections. So much enthusiasm!  Everyone is a friend in that room. 

American Authors were our favorite act. They didn't sing one song we don't like, and we have several of their new stuff on on our summer playlist. Great show. The front man is just enough of a peacock to keep the audience entertained, and you could tell he really loves to perform. 

The goo goo dolls played a good show, too! We had silly laugh at the likeness of the second guitarist and his likeness to Jon Lovitz. In case you've forgotten what Jon Lovitz looks like...here's a little collage for ya. 

I don't know why we thought this was so funny we had bursts of hysteria throughout the show. We completely lost it and surrendered to laughter when he stepped up to vocals and performed Bringing on the Light, because the drummer looks like Jon Lovitz, too! This shot just slayed us. Hello?! Jon Lovitz and Jon Lovitz! Hahaha! They probably look nothing like him in real life, but blown up on that jumbo screen? It was like a scene from the Wedding Singer. 

As far as the rest of the show, fantastic. Johnny Rzeznik tore it up. Thanks Walmart for the fun date, and the opportunity to reminisce, laugh, dance, and sing along. All the right ingredients for a good concert.
