On Friday, October 16th, I will drive down to
Houston with a great fryend and meet up with many other Home Fries to see Home
Free! Then we will scoop up our sweet small fries and
head out to Abilene to see Home Free again. Now some people out there might
think that’s a little over the top, but believe me, this is nothing compare to
how far and long fries will travel to see the five amazing guys that call
themselves Home Free. It’s just what Home Fries do. If they can, fries will
drive or fly to as many concerts as they can, not just to see the boys, but to
meet and see each other.
For the past two weeks I have been as busy as the squirrels
gathering nuts for the winter. I was up to my eyeballs in events with my
daughter, work (which is a story that has me wanting to crush some skulls, but
that’s for another blog) and my daughter’s birthday. So, I haven’t really had
time to get excited or giddy about the Home Free concert, right? WRONG!!!
The past four or five nights I have tossed and turned for a
couple hours before I could get to sleep. I’ve been thinking of all I had to
get done and what I’m going to wear to the concert and birthday parties and what
I’m going to buy at the concert and do I have my tickets and how should I make
the VIP picture look and oh, my daughter’s birthday. Wow, I almost lost it there
for a minute. Even as I type this I am thinking about what to pack and my plans
for that morning. Fortunately, I was able to keep my thoughts in the right
place to get the birthday party off the ground and make it a fun day for her.
We’ll be doing crafts until her next birthday. Now, on to mom’s night out with
great fryends, great times and five adorable men that make damn good music!
In Houston, I get to have a little fun. There won’t be any
bull ridin’, calf ropin’ or two steppin’ on the tables, I’m no stealth chicken.
However, I do plan on letting my Texas girl out to play. I got my fancy new
cowboy boots and my Thelma and Louise attitude ready (well except the bad
parts). But the best thing is seeing Home Free and hearing some great new
songs. I can’t wait to hear Seven Bridges Road, Good Ol’ Country Harmony, Don't It Feel Good and 9
to 5 live! I have not watched the whole show via Periscope or YouTube yet. I’ve
seen bits and pieces, but I’m trying to hold out.
There is this new addition to the show that has quickly
become a fry favorite and that is Story Time with Tim. I have only seen a
couple of them, but I laughed so hard I gave myself a cramp. Between Tim’s comical
story-telling and Austin’s live action antics, you couldn’t ask for more. But then
you get the rest of the guy’s reactions, who apparently don’t always know what’s
coming. This is going to be as awesome as Texas is hot (93 degrees on this fine
mid-October day)!
Then there’s Abilene. I will get to see my fry friends and the guys again, but this time I get to share it with my little angel. This
will be her third Home Free concert and I love that she enjoys going with me. Her
birthday was this past Sunday and she saw a picture of someone getting a big hug
from one of the guys and she says, “I want one of those, but from all the guys,
for my birthday!” OK, I guess it’s safe to say she is getting over being shy
around them. The first time we saw them she was terrified of Tim and hid behind
a stranger when she got to Austin. Now she’s ready to take them home and
instantly have five new big brothers!
Do you get all giddy and anxious days before a Home Free concert?
