Keep it coming, love; keep it coming love

Don't stop it now,
don't stop it no,
don't stop it now,
don't stop it no...

So, can you name that band? I can, just because i saw them last night in concert.
It is KC and the Sunshine band. My boyfriend got some free passes to this fund raiser (tickets were $250 each!) in Denver. It was held at the Filmore and I have to say, it is the best i have ever seen the venue look. They had all these large banquet type tables on the dance floor. Everything was day glow orage, green, red. Very retro 70's set up. There was AMAZING food (free) like prime rib cuts, Chicken a la king, with large biscuits to shovel it over. Lobster mac and cheese. Yeah, not kidding. was great.. And they had a silient auction. Most things were going for like $900 or $1,000. WOW!!!
And they had an open bar too.. My boyfriend and I didn't really need to go out again, after the art reception at the start of the week, Roger Waters wednesday night and then having these music magazines to deliver, but I have no idea if i would ever be able to see KC and the Sunshine band again.. and free food, open bar. why not. We (hopfully) will not be able to take advantage of an open bar too much longer, well i wont be able to, so why not get it all in now. Make sure i wont be missing anything.

So, they played everything you would want to hear. Shake, shake, shake.... Shake, shake, shake.... shake your bootie, shake your bootie..
But i have these tunes running though my head all day today though.. n hangover, just KC running crazy.

On the local baseball front. My boy Tulowitzski is out and on the DL for a few weeks, they said yesterday on the news, up to two months.. that sucks BIG TIME.
We have been trading some pitching around so maybe we can get our line up right and get back the good team we ended the season with. Who knows.

Panic announced summer dates, so now we know when they will be at Red Rocks. It is at the end of June. And then they are doing two shows in Kansas City, so I think we are going to try to get to those. Seems we wont be taking a summer music trip this year because of gas prices and everything, so this will have to do it.

Sorry for missing the snack update yesterday. To be honest, I didn't even know it was 2pm and then when i did go to check out what was offered, they were all gone and the table was empty, so i have no idea what was for snack. I will try to do a better job.

That's about it for me.. Ready for the weekend, after a few hours of delivering.
OH did anyone catch the HUGE move on Survivor? The hidden immunity idol was actually played. That has never happened. In fact, just this season, two people were voted off, back to back, all while holding the immunity idol, but never played it. Voted off holding the immunity idol has got to suck, but Amanda pulled it out yesterday and saved herself from going home when Alexsis was the next one with votes and she went bye-bye.. Great move, best survivor game play ever!!!
Ok, now here's your daily dose of things you didn't need to know, compliments of me..

Today is National Rowdy Friends Day, a time to check up on your old rowdy friends to see if they’re okay.

Today is No Pants Day. It's okay to wear something, just not pants (nopantsday.com), a way of telling world, "Hey, saggy pants aren't so bad."

Today is National Baby’s Day, a day to celebrate babies as blessings from God. (Babies Day is observed on the birth date of Dr. Benjamin Spock.)

Today is National Truffles Day.

Today is King James Day, marking publication on this date in 1611 of the King James version of The Bible.

The 2-day annual Barbed Wire Swap begins today in LaCrosse, Kansas, and Toad Suck Daze begin in Conway, Arkansas.

1988: A sinkhole in Sebring, Florida, opened to 200 feet wide and swallowed a house.

1989: A mall security guard in Simi Valley, California, followed a mysterious window shopper who obviously was wearing false hair and a moustache and ratty-looking clothes. Turned out to be singer Michael Jackson.

1990: A mugger in London’s financial district attacked a money-broker’s messenger and escaped with $484.7-million worth of treasury notes. The worldwide financial network, however, prevented the thief from cashing in any of the loot.

1991: Mike Lehtonen and Juhani Saramies left Nokia, Finland, in history’s longest taxicab ride. They took a 15-day, 14,414-mile trip to Spain and back with the meter running. It cost $16,000. No word on the tip.

1997: 44-year-old Tony Blair became Britain’s youngest prime minister in 185 years.

1999: In Hudson, Ontario, police reported an attempted burglary where a parrot apparently ran off the intruder. Police surmise that the suspect knocked over the cage and freed the bird. They found the parrot loose and blood drops on the furniture and carpet around the house. Nothing was missing.

2000: Jockey Julie Krone became the first female elected to thoroughbred racing's hall of fame.

2001: A 77-year-old man who admitted holding up three banks to pay for dates with his 79-year-old girlfriend was sentenced to three years in federal prison. The defendant said he couldn't believe he did it.

2007: Iowa spent $6,000 to change the locks at one of its state prisons after someone paid $12 on e-Bay for a set of keys belonging to a guard who retired in the 1970s. The warden said he did not know if any of the old keys actually opened any of the locks in the 135-year-old prison -- but he was not sure they didn't. The prison housed a number of violent criminals.
