One Republic. O how I love you.
After work on the 22nd of March, Shaun and I drove down to North Carolina to go see One Republic in concert. It was a beautiful day for a 3 hour drive and we were ready to go. As stated in a previous post, going to a concert is great, but the eating before the show is even better. Because we had to drive so far we were unable to eat at a sit down restaurant. So we went to this place called Cookout Burger. It was so good and it tasted exactly like a cook out burger should. I don't know what I was exactly thinking but I was hungry so I ordered a half pound burger thinking it was like a McDonald's burger and well it wasn't. It was freakin huge. Shaun and I were starting to get antsy on the ride down so we made up a song. It goes a little something like this.

"Pidgy Widgy in the air
Little Pidgy Widgy in my underwear
Pecking and Poking and doing weird things.
Please Little Pidgy don't spread your wings."

I think it could be a best seller. :)
We made our way to Campbell University which was completely out in the sticks. Most random school ever. We kind of got lost and ended up being a little late, but all in all it was okay. We just sat wherever because it was general admission, and we ended up in Toolville. Like seriously I felt like I was in Laguna Beach with these people. It was kind of funny. This guy seriously like pummeled me in Shaun when trying to climb to his seat and didn't even say anthing. No excuse me, no I'm sorry, not nothing. Just sheer rudeness. So then we moved to the other side of the auditorium with these crazy people who sat next to me. So we moved again once the security guards were pummeled by the crowd after the pleading of the lead singer to have them come up front. It was an amazing concert and seriously this guy is out of this world when he hits the high notes. I was blown away. He sang "Marchin On", "Secrets", "Apologize" all of the major hits and it was awesome. Ugh...I get chill bumps just thinking about it. This concert will definitely go down in the Year of the Concert as one of the best ones yet. Like for reals. We drove back to Ernie and Lorrie's house in Durham and crashed. Coco slept on the floor right next to me and it was the perfect ending to a perfect concert. :)
