A Long Day
Mar. 11th, 2010 12:40 pmI have somewhat recovered from yesterday. I got up at 5:30 as usual and went to work. I brought a change of clothes and got out pretty much on schedule. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
donna88keys came over and met me and then we drove to R's house as she was going to do the drive to and from Orlando.
We stayed on I95 until Melbourne and then cut over on a state road that took us past many cow pastures. We didn't have any trouble until we reached Kissimmee/St Cloud. We missed a turn somehow and as I was navigator, I tried to rectify the situation but unfortunately, I'm not the best map reader. I finally tracked down where we were and found a cross road to where we were supposed to be. From there we reached downtown Orlando but a little too late to make our original dinner plans.
We get to the arean and thankfully R had reserved a parking place in Lot 1 and we were right in front of the main doors. We get inside, buy souveniers, and grab food before heading to our seats. We were upper level but it really wasn't that bad and we were just a little right of center.
As for the show itself, I predicted the openning song--"Cry me a River"--which made me happy. (I'll list the songs under a cut below.) This was the first show of the "Crazy Love" tour so he called us his little guinea pigs. In his first little speech break, he also mention that his life had changed since the last tour and mentioned his engagement. Since his fiancee is Argentinian, the men also wear rings. He als thought it was cool because he could take it off (mimed action) hold it in his fingers and go "My precioussss"--which he did in a very good Gollum impression. He also brought up the Olympics and the Canadian hockey team.
At one point, he goes onto the floor and walks around. They had a platform set up at the back and he sang "Home" from there before heading back to the stage with "Save the Last Dance". He ended the show proper with "Just Haven't Met You Yet" with an encore of "Feeling Good" before the final song of "Song for You".
We had a tough time getting out of the parking lot and trying to find the right road home so there were a couple of U-turns. Needless to say, driving past cow pastures in the day isn't so bad but nighttime is horrible as there is nothing there. After getting back to R's around 2, I then drovedonna88keys home and I didn't get home till 2:30. Even though I was tired, I still couldn't sleep so I watched the season finale of Psych. As it ws, I didn't get to sleep until close to 4:30, making it a 23-hour day.
( Songs )
