Cool When I saw...

the Mac in 2003 in OKC, there was a 10-12 year old girl sitting across the aisle from me who was singing along (Dancing, nodding her head at me for approval) to the songs - even those from "Say You Will".

That pretty much sums up exactly what I was thinking, well except for the "kidding" part.

You guys are awesome. Look for two adorable (if I do say so myself) redheads in Atlanta. Off to buy top hats........

I really wasn't kidding, but felt like if I didn't say "KIDDING", I would sound like I was being mean. Go for it. Just don't forget the ear plugs for her little ears.

No way I thought that was mean in any way! You can tell you're a momma with the ear plug reminder. Don't worry, I always stuff em' in my kids ears at the movies so we are used to them.

Okay this is a little tiny bit related to that....my girl midget (the 9 year old I mentioned- I also have a 3 year old boy midget) kept saying she wanted to listen to the record with "the two faces on it with the song at the end that speeds up." I was like, what the heck is she talking about, which record is that? It was Go Insane. It feels like just the other day (okay, years ago) the kid couldn't figure out a block...

In my experience, regardless of the type of concert, people are usually cool with kids, as long as the kids are well-behaved.

I haven't taken either of mine to see a big arena show yet, but I tested them out when Cute Guitar Boy's band was playing an all-ages show a couple of weeks ago and they did really well, though my youngest (she's 8) got a little overwhelmed a few times. When that happened, I just took her outside and sat with her for a bit to let her chill out before heading back in again.

The other guys in the band brought their kids along, too, so we had this little cluster of tiny headbangers right up front, and everyone loved it. One of the bands that was on before CGB's even pointed out my son and the keyboardist's son for the whole venue, telling them how awesome they were, lol. Tons of fun.

But like Jannie said, definitely bring earplugs. And make sure to be even more aware of your kid's surroundings while you're there, too - I know you would keep a good eye out anyway, of course, but I've actually had way more unpleasant experiences with idiots at Stevie shows than I have at even the rowdiest metal gig I've ever been to. Last thing you need is for the kiddo to get snowplowed from behind by some drunk jackhat trying to get closer to the stage.
