On Sunday night, my friend Michelle whom I have known since the 9th grade, treated me to a very special evening for my birthday. We started out the evening by going to eat at Ciudad's, a fabulous Spanish restaurant owned by the ladies of Too Hot Tamales. From there we took a limo over to Staples Center to see Lady Antebelum followed by Keith Urban. Sugarland was supposed to open for him, but Jennifer's doctor put her on voice rest. I was soooo bummed, as I really, really wanted to see them. Turns out to be okay though, because Lady Antebelum were really good too. Keith's show was AWESOME and very energetic. It was so nice to be able to have a nice girls night out with my dear friend. Thanks again Michelle!!!
Here we are just getting dropped of in front of the Nokia Theater where American Idol is filmed. For those non Southern California peeps, Staples Center is directly across the street.

A self portrait of us inside the limo. What a couple of silly mommy's!

KEITH URBAN!!!!

Here he is performing on the front center stage.

Keith and his band. Michelle had a thing for the bald guy. hee-hee

Half way through the show, Keith made his way (via security guards) toward the very back of the stadium and performed 4 songs on this little stage. The crowd went wild!

Besides the drunk college kids next to us, it was a fabulous evening. I realized I may not be as stylish and hot as I once was, but I still like to have a good time. Maybe this getting older business isn't so bad. ;)
