Great Big Sea

For Dan's birthday, I got us tickets to a Great Big Sea concert in Kamloops. The concert was absolutely incredible. We had early admission and got to choose our seats just four rows from the front! We could have sat front row, but chose to sit a few rows back so that Amanda could use the aisles created at row 4 to exit to the washroom. We ended up next to this amazing couple, the woman whom was in a wheelchair. This smart choice, saved us from getting trampled during the first few songs when people tried to rush the stage. Amanda elbows a man really hard and said to him, "Lady in a wheelchair(pointing to the lady), and Pregnant(pointing to self)! Move over!" This saved us from most (but not all) spillage of beer on legs and arms and heads. Thankfully, one lady who sat 2 rows behind us (since we were too tall to sit directly behind), complained to those who rushed the stage saying that the lady in a wheelchair doesn't really appreciate having beer spilt on her head and the pregnant lady could go into labour if you crowded her. That solved our problem and we had as much space as we needed. Even the security lady got to tease Amanda a little, asking her every time that she went to the washroom if she was in labour yet! The baby much enjoyed the concert, spending a full two hours dancing on Amanda's bladder. (although the warm up band got no such reaction, except a sharp kick at the beginning, indicating its disgust to the horrible music. We wholeheartedly agreed).

The day after the concert, Great Big Sea came on the CD player at random. The baby would be active for any song from them and then cease moving when the CD player switched to another artist. This happened numerous times. We guess that we have a Great Big Sea fan in training!
