This Ain't My First Pink Rodeo: 43rd WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH SIR ROD-PART ONE

Celebrating our upcoming 43rd Wedding Anniversary by finally seeing Sir Rod Stewart again!

I wanted to decorate my vest for the occasion! Obviously, if you know anything about Sir Rod, you know he loves his animal prints and pinks! Also, if you don't know what Every Picture Tells A Story is...you should check out some of his old music!

READY TO SEE SIR ROD

You can read all about our trip to Vegas a year ago (right here and here ) to see Rod on our anniversary. That didn't turn out the way we would have liked, but we were really hoping this year would be much better.

Sir Rod

We were only allowed to take in small posters, so I wanted them to convey a big message on a small surface!

Since Rod and I have both gone through a cancer diagnosis twice, and Rod's music made so many bad days better for me, I thought my sign was perfect! And the hubby's sign is self-explanatory! LOL

MY GUY SHOWING HIS SUPPORT!

Cheap Trick would be opening for Rod, so we had a while to wait for our guy!

While we were waiting, we had a great time chatting with a security officer and some of the other people sitting nearby. We were surprised by how many younger attendees were excited to see Rod!

We had a really unexpected experience while we were sitting there. A guy came down from the stage and handed Ray a pair of drumsticks, telling us that they belonged to Rod's drummer. We were both so surprised that we didn’t say much other than, "Thank you!" We did wonder aloud if they knew Ray was a drummer, but the guy just smiled and went back on stage.

I took this pic from the program we bought! This guy is a great drummer!

Cheap Trick seemed to have some issues with their sound, and I have to say, although they didn't sound bad, most of their songs sounded the same. I managed to get some good photos of them since people weren't standing up, which gave me a good view of them all.
