We were soooooooooooo excited for Flamingo Fest West. Possessed..as I get, I made these flamingo shirts with bleach and black sharpie! Friday night we were beside ourselves with all our preparation, hats and shirts...we were sure it was going to be a hit.
Saturday we did chores all day and napped to insure we were pumped for the evening's goings on. So with shirts and hats donned we showed up at 7...and yes foreshadowing should have clued us in, when the volunteer took our tickets and miscommunication started....can you imagine asking some one in a pink flamingo shirt, wearing a flamingo hat, having paid $65 a ticket if this was your "first time" to see them??? Yeah, not and that was really what we contributed to our disappointment for the affair. The goal was the taping not the audience, since it was their videotaping for a video! So we get some familiar songs, some new and a couple of flubs. Antsy's intent is artistic but not in front of an audience stuff...by 11 we threw in the towel...those 60 to 70 years olds hung in there but for us to be out after 11:00, on a Saturday, was too much...they still had another set to go...OY. Think I'm a bit depressed, as my intent with my choices for entertainment seem to miss the mark more that make it! Oh well...Rich has agreed to make adventure choices for the future! Enjoy the pictures...we love the band, and know seeing a show again would be fun but sometimes you just can't go back to the initial magic.
