Last weekend was busy! I was down the Cape with Ma Saturday-Sunday so we could see the Boston Pops' Annual Pops by The Sea concert in Hyannis Green. It was excellent as always! Keith Lockhart was conducting, with Angie Dickinson as a Guest Conductor. (Anyone have any idea who Angie Dickinson is?! I know I had no idea! Apparently she was some chick cop on a tv show that was on before I was born! So she wasn't really a guest conductor I was excited to see!) They did some songs off their Red Sox Album("Star Spangled Banner", "National Baseball Theme", "Sweet Caroline", "Casey At The Bat", and "The Theme From The Natural"...all excellent, but I wish they had done "Shipping Up To Boston"!!!) Angie conducted "Strike Up The Band". Keith decided they would play straight through, because the weather was looking ominous. They played a Richard Rodgers Tribute, and played songs from I Married An Angel, King and I, and Carousel. At the end, they did a sing-a-long medley of song favorites from movies with songs like "Singing In The Rain", "Memories", "As Time Goes By", and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." They closed with "Stars and Stripes Forever." It was a great concert, and the rain managed to hold out! (Miraculously!)
After the Pops, I met Dan at the Melody Tent in Hyannis, to see WWE's Smackdown/ECW Summerslam Tour. We had great seats! (The Melody Tent is not huge, we were row 14 and we could see perfectly! I didn't know as many of the wrestlers because I don't watch Smackdown or ECW, just RAW. But the ones I did know were: Jimmy Wang Yang, John Morrison, Christian, William Regal, CM Punk, Kane, Great Khali, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. Decent Superstars! Dan knew everyone, of course. I was just excited to see it live! Afterwards we stood by as the Superstars left, and we got a few pics of them in their cars. It made for a long but exciting day!
Monday after work we drove straight to Mohegan Sun to see RAW live. That was more exciting for me, as I knew most, if not all, of the wrestlers! We ate quickly at Big Bubba's BBQ before the event. The BBQ chicken was great, but we both didn't care for the ribs. They had good mac n cheese, decent fries, and AMAZING cheese grits! I was disappointed I didn't order the cheese grits!(But I was glad he did! I was able to sample!) I didn't like the cornbread, I don't like my cornbread mixed with herbs. He ate my piece too. The fresh squeezed lemonade was excellent.
We headed into Raw, and wouldn't you know we ended up in the LAST ROW directly facing the RAW entrance! I had no idea we were so high! We got there early enough to see the Superstars matches. I got to see Santino, so I was happy! Jeremy Piven and Dr Ken were the Guest Hosts, and they were funny. I won't list the results, anyone can find that online. But I got to see Triple H, John Cena, Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Big Show, Hornswoggle, Mark Henry, Jericho, Randy Orton and Legacy, Chavo Guerrero, Carlito, Primo, Jack Swagger, Mickie James, Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Jillian. I got decent pictures from where I was sitting! After, there was a dark tag team match with HHH and Cena vs Orton and Big Show. That was awesome! HHH and Cena won :) We were walking around the casino after, and we saw Alicia Fox and Evan Bourne! Dan got their autographs and pictures with them, which was cool! It was another long, but fun night!
