Counting down to MADONNA!

So, yes I am off once again to MADONNA! About 6 months ago, the pre-sale was on. Pam and I both had talked about where to go this time. We really wanted to head to Miami, but that show ended up being on November 24th, the day BEFORE Thanksgiving. I was too afraid that with airline delays or any other possible thing that could come up, we would miss the concert and then, of course, it would be too late to get tickets anywhere else. So Atlanta was the next reasonable choice. It was at least within driving distance.



So as the ticket choices came up, Section 1, Row L. Section 1? We were frantically looking up the seating chart. Heck yes! Section 1 is the main floor. Row L? Thats 12 rows back from the stage.. Hello? Yes we want the tickets. I don't care what the price! Floor tickets? We've NEVER sat on the floor of a Madonna concert. Even though all of our pre-sale seats we have obtained have been great. But now.. WOW! We are going to have a blast!





So the time is now drawing near and getting excited comes naturally. Everyone always makes fun of me for liking her or paying the amount of money for tickets. But she is one of the few entertainers that sells ALL of her venue's out in a matter of minutes. And even when she adds second shows in cities, those sell out as well. She also has no opening act, she is on for about 3 hours and puts on an AMAZING show! I love going different cities and would have loved to have gotten tickets for Wembley Stadium on 09/11/08. Maybe next time.

Karen (Dr. Hunt)was supposed to go with us. She didn't really chicken out.. but Dr. Weiss decided it was more important for her to work. And even with Brownie buying the cone bra, I mean, really, was it more important for her to work? No way! I even asked Brownie today what he was doing on Monday, b/c Pam and I need a driver, since we are going the turnaround in less than 24 hours. FUN FUN! But Brownie has to work. Again, thats a Dr. Weiss thing.

Karen and I talked about it today and no matter what, she is definately in for the next show. No matter what Dr. Weiss says. ha ha. Im not quite as obsessed at Emilee and Edward....as a matter of fact, I wouldn't call it an obsession at all. No one gives you looks when you say your a Beatles fan, or INXS or Hannah Montana nowadays. But for some reason they give you funny looks if you say you like Madonna? Doesn't make alot of sense now, does it?

Madonna has certainly pushed the limit and raised controversy in many catagories. However, she does do a ton for the following organizations:

Madonna is a member of Raising Malawi’s Advisory Committee, and helps with the volunteer organisation’s mission to help orphans in one of the poorest countries in the world (Malawi) by providing water, food, medical care and schooling. She actively gives money to many causes, many relating to children.
She still looks go at the age of 50. Im sure if I had my yoga instructor and could do pilates for 8 hours a day along with a chef cooking and handing me what I could actually eat, I could actually look like that.
I think that is what is so amazing actually seeing her in person. She is so fit. She has no opening act, she plays for 3 hours and never is out of breath. I think her body fat ratio is a negative number. She looks great!

The countdown is on...........................
