Philly is still slammin'!!!

Once in a lifetime you get to really meet people that have influenced your life and you get to thank them, tell them how much they've meant to you and pay homage to them. This weekend, it happened.

We went to see the BoyzIIMen concert at Cache Creek Indian Gaming Casino in Brooks, CA. We saw them in April of 2007 and we were dazzled then. I'm still in a daze about the whole thing.

The concert was amazing, though the crowd wasn't as electrified as the first time we saw them, if you're a fan, you're a fan, you know? They sang all the favorites, songs off of their new Motown album, and entertained completely.

At the end of the concert, we all decided,

on a whim really, to do the meet-n-greet and after we paid the new entry, got a chance to meet our idols individually. The wife told them how much she'd admired them the 18 years of their career and how my 5-year old knows all of their songs, I told them how much of an influence they've made in my life and how much I've loved their music the whole 18 years I've known them. Everyone else paid their tributes and the Boyz were all gracious. That impressed the hell out of me, how much they love us fans and were pretty accommodating.

I can't wait for their next concert. Next time, we do the meet and greet, I'm asking for autographs on my original CD!
