Oscar and I almost went to see Plain White T’s last night. Their love song “Hey There Dehlilah” is one of our favorites to slow dance to. (That and a whole bunch of Billy Joel songs.) We thought about going, but the show was a free concert in the Wal-Mart parking lot and a) I hate Wal-Mart and b) free means there’s going to be a jillion people there. I was right. Apparently the crowd of nearly 3,500 people got a little rowdy. People were pushing, and shoving, and smashing into each other. One girl hyperventilated. Clearly it doesn't take much to excite Bakersfieldians.
I am soo glad we didn’t go.
