Kenny Chesney...in concert...and he looks like Daddy?

Denise’s company has a suite at the Xcel Energy Center. So, they get to use the suite for concerts as well as Wild games. Denise put her name in for tickets to the Kenny Chesney concert on Friday night and won. Unfortunately, her company’s suite is behind the stage. So, they give out high quality seats in the lower deck to suite holders. So, Grandpa Bob watched the boys while mommy and daddy got to go see Uncle Kracker, Billy Currington, and Kenny Chesney. It was the best concert ever. Uncle Kracker and Billy Currington both played for 45 minutes each. Then, Kenny came out on stage at 9:00. Normally, a headliner would play for 75-90 minutes. 90 minutes into the show, just when we all thought he was going to wrap it up, he announced that it wasn’t his birthday until midnight and that he was going to play all the way right up until his birthday…and play he did!!! It was awesome!

So, the story gets better. Evan and I (Daddy) were home Saturday afternoon while Denise and Alex were at the mall. Evan asked about the concert and I told him that I had a video of a Kenny Chesney concert with the Steve Miller Band recorded on the DVR. So, we turned up the volume on the TV (don't tell mom) and watched Kenny Chesney on TV.

So, Evan and I rockin' it out at home and then he says I look like the guy on TV. At first, I was thinking he thought I looked like Kenny Chesney (that would be a huge compliment). Then, I was worried he thought I looked the Steve Miller (the guy on the left in the picture above). So, then I got my camera out and asked him which person he thought I looked like. Check it out.



Dude! I look like Kenny Chesney. I love you Evan!

Of course you do Eric! Just like I look like Sophia Loren - at least that is what Ella thought a few years ago. :-)

Glad you guys had a great time at the concert.
