Title: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on August 08, 2008, 11:55AM Can you all keep a secret?
As some of you know, my wife Darla LOVES THK. I'm going to surprise her with our pair of M&G tickets for the 9/16 Pittsburgh THK show to celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary!!!!!!!! If anyone else is going to the Pittsburgh show and want to meet up, please let me know. Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Conchobar on August 08, 2008, 07:47PM Tom, that is a great gift!!
Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on August 09, 2008, 06:34AM Conchobar,
Darla and I really enjoyed their opening performance at the Toledo CW show and bumping into Finbarr at the bar afterwards. Now she will have the opportunity to meet all of the lads properly. Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: OldFatGuy on August 09, 2008, 07:37AM Now she will have the opportunity to meet all of the lads properly. And so will you! Nice gift, Tom. I love presents that benefit both the giver and the givee. :DTitle: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Maggie on August 09, 2008, 07:49AM Conchobar, Darla and I really enjoyed their opening performance at the Toledo CW show and bumping into Finbarr at the bar afterwards. :o I'm really shocked that you would bump into a Tipperary man in the bar! :o I'll have to tell his Mammy. What a lovely husband you are, Thomas - we won't breathe a word to Darla......but you just told thousands of people...... Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Conchobar on August 09, 2008, 11:08AM Maggie you can't expect the man to keep something like that to himself. :D
Tom in exchange for our silence we will be expecting a review of the show. I'm really looking forward to hearing about your wifes reaction. Bob Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on August 09, 2008, 01:15PM Rich and Maggie,
Thanks, I doubt that Darla will be reading this thread before the show. Bob, will do as always! Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: timi on August 09, 2008, 07:48PM What a beautiful and thoughtful gift for Darla!!!! I'm sure she will be over the top with excitement!
Looking forward to hearing the review of the show. T Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on August 09, 2008, 08:51PM Thanks timi,
The review will be coming! That is unless you don't want me to spoil it for the rest? Tom Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: timi on August 10, 2008, 09:01AM Thanks timi, The review will be coming! That is unless you don't want me to spoil it for the rest? Tom Please don't tease like that, Tom. ;D lol! Really, I can't wait to hear all the reviews. I won't see them until Oct 1st in Houston, so I am really excited to hear/read the reviews. And a good possibility to see them in Dallas as well (can't tell yet, though). Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on August 10, 2008, 07:35PM timi
I'll be sure not to let you down, I have the easy job of simply reporting on the excellent evening that Darla and I are sure to have. Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: timi on August 10, 2008, 09:50PM Can't wait to hear all about it!!!
Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on September 06, 2008, 03:11PM We just received our Pittsburgh tickets today and we are seating in Orchestra Row C seats 110 & 111.
Depending on the pit size we are either in the 1st, 3rd, or 5th row just left of center stage from the lad's point of view. We are going to have a BLAST! Anyone else going to the Pittsburgh show, please let me know. Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on September 16, 2008, 06:32AM I hope that you lads had a safe trip to Pittsburgh,
Darla and I are very much looking forward to being at your show tonight! Be safe and travel well, Tom PS, I hope to see you all wearing your hats Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Darlawife2Thomas on September 18, 2008, 08:37PM Well Tom pulled off the big surprise! I've known since our Anniversary (August) and I was elated and totally enamored that Tom would go to such great lengths (including arranging babysitting)!
We had a fantastic time and got some great pix of the guys; they were all so sweet! The concert was amazing and the energy was riveting. I so wish that we could've hopped in the car and driven to Grand Rapids for the concert the following night! Tom will fill in the details this weekend! Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: nbrock on September 18, 2008, 09:12PM Quote I so wish that we could've hopped in the car and driven to Grand Rapids for the concert the following night! Once is not enough with the Kings!!! :D Darla, So glad to hear from you & happy that you enjoyed the Kings (and your date with your husband ;)). I cant wait to see them again, and am anxious to hear the "review". Long live THE KINGS! Norma Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Thomas on September 19, 2008, 06:00AM Norma,
Did you notice Darla's avatar. See is so happy that she got to go. Thanks, Tom Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: nbrock on September 19, 2008, 08:08AM I Love Darla's avatar! Is that one of the pics you shot? Wow!
I'm not complaining, but our front row seats were so close to the stage we couldn't get a shot that good! The other 2 shows we were too far back and VERY crowded, so again, stage pics weren't very good. Most of our pics are at the signings after the show. Thanks for pointing it out! I can tell Darla & I have at least 4 things in common! Norma Title: Re: Pittsburgh Post by: Darlawife2Thomas on September 19, 2008, 05:35PM Hey Norma! Yes, I took the picture; I love photography and I had great subject matter ;D
I uploaded the photos from the concert (some turned out well and some were blurry) and Tom will post the link in the show review. We were in the 5th row, but did a Mel Maneuver and ended up in the 2nd row after intermission 8) |
