Aerosmith Concert

On Monday, August 6th, Nic and I went to the Aerosmith Concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Aerosmith has been at the top of my concert bucket list forever!! When they played at the Forum my mom didn't get tickets because she said she forgot that I loved them. I remember being devastated!! So when they announced they were playing at Staples a few years later I was ecstatic. That was the concert that was cancelled when Steven Tyler fell off the stage the concert before and they never re-scheduled. Again, I was devastated. Then when we heard about this concert and I heard the date I was again crushed because I knew there was a good chance I wasn't going to make it. We took the risk, got tickets, and I've been asking ever since to stay in until after the concert. 

My mom, Val, Randy, Carly, Carly's roommate, Chuck and Sheri all went to dinner first (Judy met everyone there because she had a dentist apt.), but we couldn't make it because Nic had to work. We also hadn't decided our plan as far as parking for the night. We knew the parking at the Bowl was a nightmare (they stack park cars and there is no leaving early), but the other options weren't much better as far as leaving early. I knew I hadn't been having any contractions and decided we should take the risk and park near Universal Studios and take the shuttle bus in. When we got to the Bowl we had to walk up a few massive hills to get to our seats and even that didn't cause any contractions! Apparently Hudson has decided after all of this that he wants to stay in. 

Here is what I posted on facebook when we got there:

Livin' on the Edge! 38 weeks pregnant at the Aerosmith Concert!

The seats were not super comfortable, but other than that the concert was awesome! Hudson loved it! He moved more than he has the entire pregnancy. He obviously has excellent taste in music. ;) Steven Tyler sounded great and was his usual, crazy self. It was awesome! They played a lot of my favorites including Love in an Elevator, Same Old Song and Dance, Livin' on the Edge, Rag Doll, Come Together, Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way. Dream On during the encore was the best though!! I could have listened to that song 10 times. Then for the second encore, Johnny Depp joined the band on stage for Train Kept-A-Rollin'. It was pretty cool to see Johnny Depp and he was actually really good! It was a great concert and I am so happy I finally got to see one of my favorite bands live!!
