True Colors Tour

Heather nabbed free tickets to the Cyndi Lauper True Colors Tour on Wednesday night and invited me along. We weren't sure what to expect other than knowing that we would be among the minority (straight) there! It was a five hour concert and we were there for about the last 3 1/2 hours of it. Andy Bell (of Erasure fame) was finishing up his set when we got there. I looove Erasure, and I kept thinking how much Conal would've loved that. Carson Kresley was the host. He's hilarious...he needs his own stand up act!
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts then took the stage. At that point we were relieved that we didn't pay a cent for those tickets. Not great, not even good! AND THEN...the B-52's. WOW! They're 60 years old and their energy is amazing. They look great and never tire! They sound as good as they did 20 years ago and I've always wanted to see them but never figured I would. So that was totally worth getting through Joan Jett! Cyndi Lauper brought up the end of the show. I forgot how many hits she had--she's was great too! We danced for probably two hours and totally enjoyed ourselves. It was a great show, a lot of fun, burned some calories and relived the 80's! Thanks Heather!
