Something we have always loved doing is going for concerts. Our very first one was Nesian Mystic back in Dunedin ( who are they, you ask? Only one of the most popular NZ pub sell bands ever !) We have even kept all the tickets - we're kinda hoarders in that way ( I know I know, enough with the mushiness already) To date, we have been to concerts in every country we have stayed long enough. Last two years whilst in Malaysia, we saw Sting, The King of Convenience, Placebo and Jason Mraz. In Australia, Jack Johnson, James Blunt, PINK ( went with Michaela ), Matchbox 20, and KT Tunstall. Just last week here in Santiago, Chile, we saw U2 and in previous years, Shakira, The Black Eye Peas and Robbie Williams. We try to get the best spots - there's nothing better than getting the VIP spot or close to it.
- being in such close proximity to the artist, is really such a treat !
Probably a once in a lifetime opportunity anyways and thus worth the every splurge in my books.

( Unless, you're as lucky as Luis and get to see Bono twice and also Coldplay!)
- Pretty pretty please come back to Chile or somewhere close by Coldplay

All the concerts were great in different ways. Some just had had the best locations and others were just huge presence; like the U2's 360 concert we recently attended. I wonder what our kids would be listening to in their time, but at least I'll be able to say - hey, in my day, dad and I went for so and so. See, we were cool ...but we both have professions too! So now ....go and study ! :)
Ah, who knows.. we might just be sitting in at one of those concerts with them.
Like I turned around at the U2's Concert, to see my friend Christina with her daughter.
That would be something, aye? :)

This weekend, the concerts continue - to Lollapalooza featuring the likes of Ben Harper, The Killers, Fatboy Slim, Cypres Hill, Kanye West and Jane's Addiction and many more.
The following week to Roxette with Marcela !
"Listen to you heart.... when he's calling for you.....Listen to your heart .......
there's nothing else you can do......"
(I best leave it to her :) but what EXCITEMENT - life is good.
