{The sweet and sour of

Sugar Ray}

Last weekend Randy and I joined Paula and Jay D. in Bendover for the $10 Sugar Ray concert.

Mark McGrath is still hot, funny, and a great dancer at 42. (His looks and quirky humor remind me of my brother)

The band really doesn't have many #1 hits, so there were cover songs and group singing for fill-ins.

At one point, Mark brought a "special needs" guy named Jay-Jay (I'm sorry now that I kept calling him Va-jayjay....it was the beer), and a heavy set man named....hmmm, I forgot.  Let's call him Va-naynay.

Mark gave JayJay and NayNay a microphone and let them take "the opportunity of their lifetime".  A spotlight and the stage was their own..... to dance and sing and entertain for a good 5-10 minutes.

Paula and I were like, "awe :)",
(under the wrong impression that Mark is just a down home good guy...reasons why uno momento.)

The concert was fun and we all left with a smile on our faces.

Part #2 of the evening

{Stay at home moms making the Po-Po nervous}

Of course Paula and I have the hair-brained idea to stand near the gate of supposed exit for the band.

Remember our Aaron Lewis story?

Missing him at the gate by 6 freakin' minutes???!!?

Yah!  That was NOT gonna happen to us again dammit!

So we make the guys pull the car around so that we can have comforts of seats and heats.

We are waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

In the mean time, the security is on to us.

They are driving around trying to distract us with decoys.

Oh security......honey, you've gotta do better than that!  You're dealing with pro's here!!!

We get sight of  the van that carried the band.

It has turned around to leave at the opposite entrance.

Paula and I jump out of the car, and run in 3" wedges with arms flailing, and yelling "MAAARRRRRK!"

I know they saw us.....

The asses didn't stop.

I'm sure we gave them all a good chuckle.

We got back in the car with they guys, instructed Randy to, "FOLLOW THAT VAN!!!!"

With the van and a security truck in front of us, and a security truck behind us, we were led up a dirt drive to the back of the casino......

The drop-off doors!!!!!

Randy is saying, "We've got security trailing us.  I'm gonna drop you girls off at the door, and me and Jay D. will drive around and get them off your trail!  Hurry!!!  Jump out!"

Paula and I jump out of the barely stopped car, and fast walk through the "drop-off doors".

Security has let one of their own off too......he is right on our heels.

I just wish I would have turned around and with a crazy look in my eyes said, "are you following me?????!!??"

Cuz ya know, you just can't scare crazy!!!!!

(quote by Aunt T.)

After standing on a second level balcony for a few minutes, just the three of us.....Paula, me and Barney Fife, we were under the impression that maybe we were not sneaky enough to pull this one off.

All of a sudden, I hear Paula go "uh ah uh... It's Mark!"

I turn to see the entire band and their entourage walking feet away from us toward the elevator.

Paula yells, "Hey Mark" in a cool sexy tone.

The ASShole wouldn't even look up from his sexting conversation to give eye contact.  He says, "hey" back.

It was as if her and I were stalking serial killers and he would melt into an acid puddle if his eyes met ours.

While all of this is happening in short seconds, I am trying to get my camera phone to take a pic of him up-close.....

I got a fabulous shot of his shoe and the carpet.

As the doors to the elevator were closing, I peeped my head close and said, "Great concert guys.  Thanks!"

I got a head nod for recognition.

K.......think about this.

Two blondes......alone.

And, in my opinion, we aren't classified as fugly or a butter face.

What would it have taken Mark to stop, give an appropriate acknowledgement, and move on?????

We were so disappointed in him and his band.

It made all of his JayJay, NayNay efforts void and disgusting.

A lie for entertainment only.

I am loosing my attraction to rock stars.

I'm not naive enough to think they have large I.Q's and treat women with the utmost respect,

BUT COME ON!!!!!

What happened to feeding your fans???

Sugar Ray.......

You are like NutraSweet.....

Fake and leaves you with a bitter after taste!
