The Killers Concert

A while back we won tickets to go the J's favorite band The Killers.  The concert ended up being rescheduled and of course fell in the middle of our first week back at work.  This did not stop us of course and even though we were exhausted from going back to work, we put the baby to bed and headed out to the concert!

I need to start by saying that OMG cabs in Toronto are expensive.  Just to get into a cab cost $4.25 now.  A 15 minute drive ended up costing us almost $40 to get to the concert (although it did save us an hour on the ttc).

Thankfully, not only were the tickets free, they were also actually in one of the executive boxes.  Bring on the FREE food and drinks!

The concert was held at the Air Canada Centre and I had high hopes for the food in the boxes.  Surely these corporations pay big bucks for these boxes they must be serving food that is better then what is available at the concession stands.

Boy was I wrong.  To start with there were crappy hot dogs and chicken fingers.  Both looked as though they had been sitting there for a while.  Then they brought in some pizza from pizza pizza (blah).  The highlight of the food was the yummy popcorn and the haagen dazs ice cream bar.

Service was great and she made sure that J's beer glass and my wine glass were never empty.  Turns out I drank a whole bottle of red wine during the show (eeeek).

The concert was amazing.  The band had a ton of energy and just kept belting out hit after hit.  I didn't realize how many of their songs that I actually knew.  The band actually started with their first song with the lights on in the arena so that you could see everything.

Sadly I was not smart enough to bring a real camera with me and was only able to take crappy photos on my iPhone.  Note to everyone, an iPhone is not a replacement for a camera, they take horrible pictures (especially in the dark from a distance).

Overall it was a great night out and worth being a little tired the next day at work.

And don't worry we didn't leave the little man by himself while we went to a rock concert.  Our awesome neighbours were looking after him.
