I really need to get on the ball again. Usually I do an August challenge but this year I just wasn’t feeling it. I am still doing my TikTok experiment though so if you are on TikTok lemme know so I can follow you.
Since I last posted we’ve seen Abba, the Concert, One Night With Queen, a new to us artist called Tash Sultana, went to another Giants game and last night we saw the Backstreet Boys!
So Wells Fargo is a sponsor of the Mountain Winery this year and there is a new section called Adele’s Garden especially for people with Wells Fargo accounts. They give you free water and snacks and there is a special spot to sit and enjoy the view before the show. That was fun. Abba, the Concert, does a really good job with the songs and the crowd was definitely singing along.
Tash Sultana is a one person show for the most part. Toward the end there are some other musicians on stage but the main show is Tash playing an instrument and then setting it on a loop so it keeps playing while she moves on to another instrument. There was a lot of flashing lights, hence the warning. It was interesting but the bouncing up and down she did was kind of hard to watch and the songs sounded a lot alike. My husband enjoyed it though and it was at a venue we don’t normally go to so it was a fun date night.
One Night of Queen was good too. While the rest of the band did not try to look like the members of Queen, Gary Mullen definitely pulled off the moves of Freddie Mercury well and the music was great.
The Giant’s game we went to was in honor of Will Clark and they retired his number, 22. It was fun and we won, which was even better. We’re not doing well this year but I’m still a faithful fan.
Finally, my daughter and I went to see the Backstreet Boys on the spur of the moment. We got the tickets just two days before the show.
This makes the third time we’ve seen them. They sang 33 songs and I knew the words to every one. I love their harmonies and definitely enjoy the synchronized movements. I think one of the reasons my daughter likes the Backstreet Boys so much is because I sang this song to her as a baby. It was my way of saying I love her no matter what.
So that’s been my out and about experiences for the last couple of weeks. We have more to come this month too. Tomorrow I’ll share some of the crafty work I’ve been doing. I don’t want to overwhelm in one post. Have you heard of Tash Sultana? Fan of the Backstreet Boys (who technically should be called Backstreet Men now because Kevin Richardson is 50 and the others are all late 40s – LOL).

Right? They certainly are not those baby faced kids they were when they started. We had a blast.

Thanks E.A. When I go to concerts lately I’ve been trying to be more focused on the show itself and not on the pictures so I haven’t been bringing my camera. These are all just from my phone. It may be time for me to get a new iPhone though. Mine is an 8 and I hear that the newer ones take better pictures.

I don’t have a new one either, but my husband does. His definitely takes better pictures.

Once the summer concert season starts we usually have at least 2 a month. Making up for lost time when the kids were little.

I’d like to see the Backstreet Boys. There’s something about them, their music, their attitude, that makes me smile in spite of what all my uptight friends think about boy bands. Nothing good, let me tell ‘ya.

They are the only boy band I ever got into. Kevin is my favorite. :). I have always thought their harmonies were better than others, although my oldest daughter preferred NSYNC. BSB shows are very energetic even though they are getting older and can’t do as many moves, they still are really engaging with the crowd. As I said, 33 songs, I sang every one and we stood for the whole 2 hour show. If you get a chance, treat yourself. I know you don’t care what your friends say!
