Kodi is finally going on vacation!
I will have a GLORIOUS 8 days off in a row starting April 21st. My God, I can not comprehend the beauty of a whole week off! I can think of nothing else until then. I plan on going to Salt Lake City to visit my Besse (Grandmother) for a couple days, then going to Logan to visit my brig brother (no that isn't a typo, that's what I call him) and his family for a couple days, AND THEN I plan on staying home for 4 days, eating popsicles, riding my horse, maybe hiking here and there, definitely reading some good books and watching lots of movies. Oh, and sleeping in every day!
Kiri wants me to let her go to Vegas with her friend and her friend's mother to see a band called "Avenge Seven Fold" in concert. I don't know if I should let her go or not. I was 15 for my first concert, but my brother watched me like a hawk, and wouldn't even let me flirt even a little. Thank God for Brig Brothers! Do I trust someone to watch Kiri and keep her out of trouble? Do I really want to crush Kiri's dream of attending this concert (it means a lot to her to go). I am torn.
Speaking of concerts, my first concert was the Judas Priest/Raven concert. That was back when I had no clue that Rob Halford was gay. I thought it was a rockin performance, and especially loved when Rob rode out on stage on a big Harley and sang "We don't need Parental guidance Here". Too cool for a 15 year old girl. My next concert was Bon Jovi/Cinderella concert. I thought Jon Bon Jovi was smokin hot as he sailed over the crowd singing "Shot Through the Heart." Oh, yeah baby. Then came the Kiss/Winger/Slaughter concert when I tried to get to the front of the stage when Slaughter was playing and got groped by every sweaty man around and almost passed out from lack of oxygen. Rocker Chick to the Core! After that was the Tesla/Firehouse concert in an outdoor arena. That was okay, but I liked the stifling hot reek of untold amounts of marijuana, deafening roar of music till your ears ring for hours after experience of the indoor arenas better.
Unfortunately, I am too much of tight wad to fork over ungodly amounts of cash for a ticket to headliner concerts now a days. Perhaps someday I'll pry open my wallet and go to another concert, but it would have to be something truly spectacular.

First concert is a rite of passage, and 15's about the right age. If there's actually a parent going, consider yourself lucky.
I like Judas Priest so much more now that I know Rob Halford's gay.
(P.S., I think it's "Avenged Sevenfold" - and check out their Web site! "CITIES OF EVIL!!!" So cute.)
I was 15 for my first concert too. I saw The Hooters, The Truth, and Squeeze at an outside arena. The next day I saw Sting's first solo tour at the very same place. We were parentless and older sibling-less too. My dad was so against it, that my mom let me go and told me not to tell him until I really had to, which was basically about when my friends came to pick me up.
Enjoy your vacation. Visiting loved ones and doing nothing sounds very appealing these days.
I'd probably want to speak to the parent first, but I'd let her go. She'll be mortified if you don't.
Sleeping and reading sound heavenly!
Such a tough call. As you know, my first concert was Sawyer Brown--not really a choice, but a double blind date. My first concert of choice was The Cure. GT

Let her go and drink lots while she's gone to not worry ;P Bon Jovi is STILL smokin hot! I wish I was going to see Bessa and Shane right now!!!! I am jealous!
My first concert was JOurney and Bryan Adams, and there was nooo parental supervision.
As for the right concert to fork out $$$ to...ummmm how about the KISS reunion tour. I love me some KISS
I think I was 11 for my first concert, but I was obviously escorted by my mom and dad. George Michael baby. Then a couple of NKOTB's (that's right I'm short handing it baby). Hope you're having fun on your vacation!
