sugarland!

Reports ahead of the Sugarland concert at CMAC, the open-air concert venue in Canandaigua, were that over 12,000 fans were expected and parking was going to be a nightmare. We arrived early, reading material in hand, found a good parking spot with no problem and waited it out. We found our seats about an hour before the concert and settled in. Then the two "ladies" in front of us arrived and settled in. Our concert experience was going to be different!

These two women were jazzed up and ready to party. They were chewin' their gum, drinkin' their beers and wigglin' their fannies. Their unbelievably tacky hats (which they were NOT going to remove) had rhinestone designs on the front that included blinking, battery-operated lights. The only time I could see anything on stage during the opening acts of Danny Gokey and Luke Bryan was when they left to go outside to smoke.

Danny and Luke got the crowd ready for the superstars and the show was on! We stood for the entire Sugarland concert and finally I could see something on stage. (It helps to have stadium seating and to be 5'9"). The set was great, Jennifer and Kristian were great and it was one fabulous concert:

The crowd loved it and so did we. And while I left my rhinestone-studded hat and chewin' gum at home, I admit that from beginning to end, my fanny was wigglin'.
