Great 80's music


So any of you who know me well know that I LOVE 80's music. I love listening to it and even have my teenage kids thinking it is cool. In fact I don't know who has noticed how many remakes are being made of 80's music. It really bugs me because some of them are completely stupid. I will admit there are a few that are pretty good, but a few lately are just slaughtering the originals.
Anyways...Friday night we got tickets to see the Fixx and The English Beat. I was so excited. Rob's friend spence and his wife rita were in town and so they wanted to go with. It was also my friend Becky's birthday. We drug them along being that they were very young during the 80's. I know that she didnt really want to go but was a good sport and came along anyways. We went to dinner at Cheesecake factory and then headed over to the "Zoo Brew". It was at the Zoo and yep
you guessed it...When I heard Zoo Brew being the nieve mormon I thought it meant a variety of bands. I know you are laughing and I am almost embarassed to say that is really what I thought but it was.
So needless to say they gave us these punch cards along with these mini beer mugs to taste test beer. We were all laughing saying we should go up to some really drunk person and offer to sale our punch cards for $50.00. None of us got up the courage but my little kids thought the mugs were cute. We were all excited because they gave away free water and soda. We all were able to sample some of the food and deserts they had. CPK, melting pot, Luigis, snow cones, and of course I had to buy some cotton candy...my favorite! Rob got an English Beat hat and I got a cd and tee shirt. The bands sounded really good live too. That is always a plus!
I hope the Lavenders had a good time as you can see by one of the pictures aaron was falling asleep and I know that becky didnt really know many of the songs that were played. Oh to be young and under 30! Happy Birthday 80's style!
So far I have seen Bon Jovi a few times that he has been here, Asia, Hall and oates and now can add the fixx and english beat to that!
