jule1122I haven't posted in forever because how many variations of my life keeps getting worse can I put any of us through. However, I actually have something good to post!
I went to Nashville this weekend with my mom to see Erasure. We found a very nice, but relatively inexpensive hotel. We had a goldfish in our room. We drove down friday and came back yesterday so we didn't have a lot of time. What we did see of Nashville was very nice and I'd love to go back. We went to the zoo which was much nicer than any of the ones around me.
Then concert itself was beyond amazing. This was the fifth concert we've been to and by far the best. It was at the Ryman Auditorium which is just beautiful. Apparently Andy always wanted to sing there because the acoustics are so good. He certainly sounded wonderful. Our seat were extremely close and they were filming the show for a potential DVD with the big camera right behind us. The show was all acoustic which is very different than there normal music. They actually had a band. It was so fun to here how the redid all the songs. Some were very country others stripped down to vocals and a little guitar. I loved every single song. Both Andy and Vince seemed very relaxed and happy. I would follow them on this tour if I could just to see it again and again.
One of the best things about Erasure concerts is people watching. There are usually quite a few older gay couples and they always seem so excited to be in such an accepting atmosphere. There's always a few Brian Kinney's. This year's version had perfectly highlighted and styled hair, was dress in all black with his shirt mostly unbuttoned and wore sunglasses until the show started. Following behind him were Ted and Michael. They were about six inches shorter than him complete with geeky glasses dressed in dockers and polo shirts. The other person with them was a potential Justin. He was better looking than Ted or Michael and more in his own space than following Brian. We had fun watching them. They had an HIV/AIDS info table at the entrance. Mom and I stopped by and ended up with a tom of free condoms and lube. I didn't have the heart to tell them I was monogamous, infertile, and on birth control. On our way out the securitry guard told us he'd never seen a more diverse or multicultural crowd. I can't wait for the next tour.
