Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Bruce and I took Kate and Lindsay to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra last night at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester. We had a tough time finding a parking space close and ended up walking 1 1/2 blocks in the cold and wind to get there. I had a funny feeling when we got there that I couldn't identify. We came in the back but our seats were around the front of the building. We made it to the correct section and the couldn't find our row. Seems that I was reading the ticket wrong. On our second attempt to find our seats, who should I spot directly infront of Lindsay and I, but Kara. Lindsay saw her too and tapped her on the shoulder. Kara let out a shocked "Linds!!" And then she began to look up and when she realized it was me she turned around and walked to her seat. Kate never saw her, but apparently she had walked right by Bruce without noticing him. Once we were settled in our seats Bruce said that he had seen her but thought it would be best to not draw attention to us as a group. Come to find out she was inteh row directly in front of us down the other end though. We were all a little freaked out. This is the second time we have run into her there in a month. Anyway...the concert was awesome. Dry ice, lasers, fireworks, shooting fire, a wonderful inspiring storyline and the most incredible drum solo I have ever heard. The music was a bit too loud but that is typical in an indoor arena. I thought Lindsay wasn't enjoying it because her ears were covered most of the time. But as we were leaving I asked her and she said she loved it and could we go again next year. This band is incredible, there were at least 7 different singers, both male and female a narrator with a deep projecting voice, 3 incredible guitar players and a small local orchestra as well. The lights and lasers were incredible. It snowed inside and then the lasers shown through it and it just sparkled. I would highly recommend anyone who has the opportunity to see them does so. This was the last night of there tour for the year, it was 3 hours long. Kara and Tiger disappeared before the first half was over. I suspect she was feeling very uncomfortable with all of us being there together. We didn't let it ruin our night however.
