On Monday night we went to visit Oma after stopping at the sports store to make sure I had my triathlon suit. Adam found this really great bike that he proceeded to ride around the store:

It was so hard to go to work on Tuesday knowing that Madonna was mere hours away! When I got back to Adam and Eva's, Eva was taking a power nap and Adam and I proceeded to pre-party. The first official Madonnapalooza pre-party picture:
The concert itself was absolutely amazing! When we got there a couple guys were outside protesting - saying that we were all heathens and going to hell or something like that. I figure, if God is going to smite me for going to a Madonna concert, at least I'll go out with some good music in the background... it's a SHOW!!!! Holy cow. People will protest just about anything it seems.
Thank goodness I was with Adam, Eva, Catherine and Dori who have all attended past Madonna concerts. I would have been sitting in my seat for an hour twiddling my fingers. Apparently it's known among Madonna concertgoers that she starts her show an hour late. Always. And what an appearance it was! She came out in a gigantic mirrored disco ball! It was awesome! From there it was non-stop dancing for the next two hours. Dancing, jumping and singing! When Madonna says jump, darn it, you jump! We seriously had the best time! We had nosebleed "backstage" passes... and they were a blast! We were able to see some of the action behind the stage which was neat too! Here's Adam and Eva rocking out:
The big controversial part of the show was Madonna singing "Live to Tell" while hanging on the cross, with a crown of thorns on her head. I wasn't shocked, just because it's Madonna and she generally has something in a show to thumb her nose at the Catholic religion, but I didn't really understand why she chose that song for it. Either way, it was kind of impressive... Here's her rising up on the cross:
Here's a picture of the jumbo-tron with her on the cross (sorry it's blurry - my camera doesn't like taking jumbo-tron pictures... I need to figure that out):.jpg)
She also did a whole disco section to the show (the new album, Confessions on a Dance Floor is all very disco/techno sounding). She came out in this awesome leisure suit and danced her booty off:
Of course, no concert is complete without the concert bling. Eva and I went all out for the Confessions zippies... they were expensive, but we rationalized that we had cheap seats. I LOVE IT! The front says "Confessions" and the back has a big purple disco ball with a pink M and the words "Confessions Tour":
By the way, Eva, I'm listening to "I Love New York" as I write this. The 'get off of my street' part just came on and I busted out our dance moves! :)
I was so sad to go back to work today and to leave Adam and Eva's house... I had the best time!!!
