Cheap Trick

When I was a little girl, my family would always listen to Mix 94.7. I remember always hearing this one song that I quickly feel in love with. I didn't know the title or the artist who sang it but I would pray for it to play on the radio.

Years later I finally figured out the song.

I want you to want me by Cheap Trick.



From then on they held a special spot on my I-pod but that wasn't enough I wanted to see them in concert. Last night I achieved my dream at SXSW but just seeing them in concert wasn't enough I wanted to be front row, so that is what I did. I squeezed my way forward, pissed some people off, and almost lost my cousin but I finally made it to the very front, on the railing. Then the most magical thing happen. While Robin Zander was singing The Flame, he looked at me in the eyes, smiled and gave me a the nod. I melted and in that moment I was in love. Then he sang to me. He looked me right and the eyes and sang the words to me.

It was a night that I plan to remember, a living of a childhood dream.



P.S. Rick Nielson threw me a guitar pic. It's ok to be jealous.
