No Doubt Concert--Thursday, May 28, 2009

We took Andrea and Allie with us to the Paramore and No Doubt Concert here in Albuquerque. It was Allie's first concert! We hurried and ate at McDonald's before heading to the Journal Pavillion at around 7 PM. The concert was scheduled to start at 7:30 PM. A lady at McDonald's asked our kids if they wanted two lawn tickets to the concert because they had decided not to go--We told them that we had tickets and were already going, but they told us to take the tickets and try to give them away. Brent hurried and called friends Amber and Marlee who gladly took the free tickets. It took about 1 1/2 hours by the time we got to our seats due to the hundreds of backed up cars. We heard most of Paramore while we were buying our t-shirts and walking around but didn't actually watch much of their part of the concert. Here are a few pictures from the evening...

Greg and I wait for No Doubt to hit the stage.

Brent had been waiting to give two of his friends two lawn tickets some lady gave us at McDonald's so he got to our seats right before No Doubt came on.

This is how No Doubt opened their part of the show.
