PinkiePalooza 2014

Megan and I had the ultimate Pinkie Power date yesterday.   It was so epic, I've named it PinkiePalooza 2014.

Don got us awesome tickets for Kat Perkins.  This was the rescheduled concert from 2 weeks ago.  We had the VIP package, which included the meet and greet with Kat prior to the concert, as well as an autographed poster.

 We stopped at the Painted Canyon Visitor Center to stretch our legs a bit.  As we were enjoying the view, a kind man approached us to show us some pictures he took of the bison in the parking lot when they stopped a few days prior.  He was really excited about the Bison.  Through small talk, I learned he was from Fargo.  It all made sense, then.

 I hope she never outgrows her love for blowing dandelions.

A selfie prior to the concert!

This is in the Harold Schafer Center.  My late friend, Wade, is in both of the pics behind Megan.  I got a little teary seeing these.  Kat is with him in both pics as well.  Wade lived for Medora.

 I think there might have been some sort of fan by the drummer, as his hair flipped up quite a bit.

The encore song was Baracuda (released on itunes today).  It was really loud.  This guitar player had lots of piercings.

 I found myself mesmerized by this guitar player.

 Kat was ~15' away from us.  In this pic, she is singing "Landslide"

 I was even more mesmerized by him when he played the acoustic guitar

 She is having so much fun!

 I really liked this dude.  Maybe listening to rock music unleashed a hidden attraction I have for guitar players.  I had to keep reminding myself "I'm not Amy"

 This is Kat's band entering the stage.  They looked pretty bad ass.  Kat has a cousin/relative at Lewis and Clark, who shares that she is dating her drummer.

 Tigirlily opened for Kat.  They were awesome as well.

 Kat shared a few words of thanks at the meet and greet.  Standing next to the TR Foundation staff, she looks like a normal sized person.

 Prior to the meet and greet, Megan and I noticed this sign.  We thought the pretty patio closed off was decorated for a wedding. Found it later it was the site of the meet and greet.

Kat is.....much shorter than I am.  This is with her killer heels on, too.  I felt like  a giant standing next to her.

What an awesome day!  Kat has an amazing voice.  It was a night Megan (or I) will not soon forget!
