Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE!

*Prewarning all my readers, after an hour and a half trying to format this correctly, I have given up, sorry for the crappy layout!

What, what?!?!? So, for Oliver's birthday, I got to take him to the Yo Gabba Gabba concert. Oh, but I should say it isn't just the concert, we went to the after party, too. We got to meet all the characters and DJ Lance ROCK!! Awesome!! But, I forget our adventure included going the day before with Jordyn, Phin, their mommies, and their grandmas! We went a day before so we could go to the Strong Museum of Play. It is one of the country's largest children's museums and it is awesome! But, since I'm so super behind on this blog, I'm focusing on the awesomeness that was the concert!!

I have to say I had just as much fun at YGG than I did at Foo Fighters. If you know me, and know how much I love my music, that is saying A LOT! (Personal note: Foo Fighters is ranked #2 just under Radiohead.) Oliver wasn't really sure about what he was doing there and was generally over stimulated, hence the darn nuk in most of his pictures. (Can't win them all!) But, the one picture of him seeing them the first time is priceless!

Since we got the Party Package, we got AMAZING seats! It was like the whole gang was about to jump off the stage and come sit by us. Now say it with me, "YO GABBA G-A-B-B-A!".

They sang all their hit songs. I found myself singing along to every one... Dang catchy lyrics that are meant to teach children things! "Balloons Make Me Happy," "Magic Bubbles," and the ever popular, "Party in My Tummy" closed the show.

Other highlights of the show included Biz's Beat of the Day. And our super music friend show was the band Mates of State. I don't think I could have been more excited. They are from the episode, "Games," and well, they are sign my favorite song out of all the episodes. Julie and Judith just turned and looked at me funny when I was standing up and cheering when DJ Lance announced the band. (The more I write this blog entry, the more I'm afraid I watch YGG as much as Oliver.)

Here are some other fun shots from the concert. It was so fun to be able to go with our friends. It would not have been the same without them! Even during a concert, the child swapping can not be stopped! :)

Then came the AFTER PARTY!! We had food, a private shopping area, and a plethora of balloons, confetti, and a dance party! But, by this time, Ollie was getting tired and whining. We got in line to take our pictures and meet the characters. We did individual family pictures with all the characters, since their are so many of them. But, then, we went as a big group for DJ Lance Rock. Do you notice everyone's shirts? I made them. DJ Lance liked Oliver's so much that he asked for my business card!! What a flattery. I have yet to hear from him, but still, that was pretty cool. It was the best way to end the experience for me!!
