Looking for some education, made my way into the night

This weekend, I went with my sister Meredith, our friend Elena, and her sister in law Julie to go see George Michael. He was amazing. Without a doubt the best live show I have ever seen. And it was so much fun!
He put on a show--he full out danced, he never hit a bad note, and he sang for like 2 and a half hours. It was amazing. I have always loved George, and it made me kind of sad, because he seemed kind of surprised that there were so many people there and that we all still care about him in America. Apparantly this is his first time touring America and Canada in 17 years. I have to say that while I watching him sing Faith, I was thinking, Holy Crap, I remember being like 5 years old and watching this video. And now I'm watching him sing it live and it is even better. I had a great time at the show and it seemed like everybody did. He came out for two encores--during the first one he sang A Different Corner and Careless Whisper, and during the second encore he sang Freedom which was amazing. Meredith said it best when she said that at times we felt we were at a club, and at other times it felt like we were at a European Soccer game.
I had a lot of fun with the people I went to the concert with--it is always very important to have nice, non-fussy people to go to a concert with, who won't sit in the corner and smirk while the rest of you are dancing around and singing loudly. Have you ever gone to a concert with somebody in a bad mood? No fun. But we had a great time-I love my sissy and always have so much fun with her!!Don't we look like we are siamese twins attached at the head in this picture?

Top 5 Favorite Parts of the Concert:

#5 During the concert, when George sang "Outside" he danced around in a cop outfit. Enough said.
#4 He sang "Roxanne" by the Police and it was so flawless. His voice is amazing.
#3 When he sang his song "Amazing" which he wrote about his partner Kenny. He made this sweet dedication to Kenny and had us all clap for him. Here is a picture of Kenny and George.

#2 Careless whisper. Such an amazing song and he still sings it with so much feeling after all these years #1 Freedom--everybody was jumping up and down and singing-at the point in which he sings "shake your ass" he pulled back his jacket and shook his ass in a way that only George Michael could get away with. Here is the awesome video for Freedom that combines two of the best things from the Early 90's-George Michael and glamorous Supermodels.
