Freyja a good freind of mine text me this week and said she had tickets to the Celine Dion concert this last Saturday and asked if I would like to come with her. Well far me it from me to pass up an oportuity like that so I accepted. I tried to keep from gushing I am not sure if I was sucessful. So last Saturday we left aroud 6:30pm to complete the 45 minute drive to the Tacoma Dome (my first visit to the venue by the way) Well about 90 minutes into it we realized our folley when we were still stuck in trafic and the concert was starting. The trouble all started when we hit I-5 and it took us 45 minutes to go 2 miles (trust me the irony was not lost on us that we could have walked there faster at that point). The worst part was I had downed the whole of my Wendy's lemonade on the way there and was becoming increasingly uncomforable as time passed. But we finally did arive and were pleasantly supprised to find out that we had only missed the opening band so Celine was just taking the stage when we got to our seats. As far as how the concert went all I can say is Celine knows how to put on one heck of a dog and pony show. Between the band, four back up singers, eight dancers, six costume changes (Freyja and I skeched them out after wards while waiting in trafic I will see if I can scan it in) two stage leanght conveyer belts, lighting and visual effects it was all amazing! I took some pictures with my cell phone some turned out some didn't but here they are.
First off I did not get a picture of this but it will forever be apart of my concert experience:
The trafic jam. Celine quite literally stops traffic.
Opening song: I Drove All Night.
She Sang All By Myself. I love Bridget Jones (sigh).
Freyja and me after the concert with the stage in the background.
The SIX COSTUME CHANGES as recalled by Freyja and myself while waiting for the parking garage to empty enough to we could pull out.
Anyway it as you have probably gathered it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys and I would totally recomend it. However for the male of the species be warned that they take your man card at the door.
Oh and by the way:
Did I mention I love Bridget Jones? Raise your hand if All By Myself will be suck in your head for the rest of the day.

HAHA! I did not get the song stuck in my head! :P I glad you had a great time. It looks like you were in the nose bleed from the pictures. Are you SURE it was the real Celine?
