We Rocked at the Brewery
Rock the Brewery was a ton of fun.
Allow me to tell you about it with a photo essay.
In the beginning, we were sober.
And my parents didn’t nag me. Not once! It’s a miracle!
We ran into old friends and shared beers and music and laughter over the really crazy people who crawled out of the woodwork for this concert.
Starship was great. We Built This City brought back memories of kindergarten. Yes, I was 6 years old when the song was popular. I remembered some of the other tunes they played. I realized it was because they were remakes of other artists’ music.
“No, it don’t mean nothin’……”
Surprisingly, Richard Marx didn’t suck. He’s lookin’ right at me, baby. Oh yeah. He’s actually better looking now than when he was popular. When I was in 8th grade, I hated all his slow songs. At this concert he played many upbeat rock tunes and I loved them. Either my musical tastes have changed, or I was drunk.
Steppenwolf rocked the house. I really enjoyed the show. John Kay is still Born to be Wild. My mother was lovin’ him. I think this band began around the time she graduated high school. Seriously. You know? Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth! Just kidding, Mom!
Date night was a success! Must have been the free beer!
Rumor has it, Point Beer is brewed with river water.
The hangover the next day? Awful.
But man, did we have a great time!

Thanks, Leslie! Funny thing about that is we didn’t read our tickets. It said no cameras. I had mine in my purse and I took tons of photos. We left the concert and the next day, I looked at the tickets and saw that I committed the crime!
No one told me to put the camera away! Maybe they let me go because I knew so many people who worked the event?

I just found your blog and was reading further back when I came upon this and felt the urge to say, oh my god–you are brave. That Point, wow–not so good.
