OMG!!!! IT'S BEGUN!!! MY BOYS AT WARPED TOUR!!!!! Sorry for shouting, but it feels SO good!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!

We've worked FOUR YEARS for this!!!!! THRILLED, THRILLED, THRILLED, THRILLED, THRILLED!!!!!! My boys played second up, on the Hard Rock Kevin Says Stage. They'll be on that stage each of the nine days they're on the tour, but the time will vary, and nobody gets their set time til that very same morning.

Look at the crowd out front this morning, in Houston TX, waiting for the gates to open at 11am local time!

Shit - I feel like Katie Holmes back when Tom Cruise was proposing to her. THRILLED! EXCITED! It's AMAZING! Bring on the cliches!!!! 'Cause I'm too stoked to think of anything new to say for myself at the moment!!!!

Thank you, guys, for bearing with me through all this...

I didn't attend - too old for this kind of thing - but I know people who did, and they had a great time.

Got some strategic hobnobbing to do - hopefully. I'll probably be the resident antique!

Who needs him when you have this?

Of course it would be my luck that I was born 40 years too soon for this! Only NOW am I surrounded by all these gorgeous adorable young puppies! When I was 20 - where was everybody??? Only NOW. When I'm old enough to be their GRANDMOTHER...

I took my kids to the Warped Tour in Las Cruces about six years ago.
We were walking around and I remarked, "It smells like pot here." My kids immediately asked, "How do you know how pot smells dad?"
I'll look up their music. Congrats to them.

I remember when I was talking with my dad about something - years ago. He made a comment about some situation where people were getting carried away while celebrating. He commented about them being "stoned." And I said "and drunk too." And he burst out laughing! He got it immediately.

Turns out he'd sampled pot WAY back when, 'cause he used to hang around with friends who were musicians when he was a young man. He met his end as a stoner too. Grave illnesses late in life for which marijuana smoke helped ease the pain and suffering. He once asked me what my opinion was of medical marijuana. I was surprised. I told him what I thought - that sick people should be able to have anything they want, treatment-wise. Especially something as simple and relatively inexpensive as pot. It's nobody else's frickin' business! He was visibly pleased. Little did I know at the time but he was already in serious trouble, health-wise, by then. And he was availing himself of marijuana - which was harder to get in California at the time, before some sense of reasonability started to take over and the legal restrictions were relaxed.

how exciting. I too am doing the "groupie of a certain age" thing with some friends and roommates of my youngest son - they may be crossing paths this week. they are headed east to NOLA with a couple Texas dates I think then NM etc.

I think they are all so cute and I totally support them (though I really can't take the music for very long LOL)
