Brad Paisley Concert

So frustrating!   We had a windstorm last weekend and since then our wifi has been in and out.   It's been cutting out for hours at a time and then poof, like yesterday and until 2 minutes ago, it's been fine.   Our service is generally really good, although slow because of the nature of rural wifi in our area.   So this is just frustrating.    We checked and a critter did not eat through the cable this time :)

  First a note that these concert photos aren't mine.   I have an old phone with an outdated camera, which has never done low light settings well.   Now it's starting to not take good photos unless it's outside in daylight.   However, we went to the concert with friends and one of them generously forwarded the photos he took, and said I was welcome to use them on my blog.

Last weekend we went to see Brad Paisley in Niagara Falls.   He was playing in a small venue at the casino.   We'd had seats in a larger hall, but they'd cancelled the concert.  They'd rebooked the concert, and I managed to get the presale code, so we had decent seats -  front row mezzanine/low balcony, so we got to sit the whole time, which my hip really appreciated.   The venue was a great way to see a concert.  It held only about 1500 people.  The seats were comfortable and the sound was great.  The only bad thing was that there was only one person on the merchandise stand, which meant for a very long line up.  

  It was an enjoyable concert and Brad Paisley put on a great show.   We stayed with friends who are amazing hosts.  We played a bit of Irish music, ate lovely meals, saw the show together with oddly enough, getting seats right beside each other despite purchasing them separately.     It was a fun end to our holiday week.

It was my first time at being in a casino.  I hadn't expected it to be rather like being in a mall.   Since my only experience with seeing a casino was from the telly, it surprised me how dark and how many gaming machines there were.    I didn't play but hubby did.  He played a penny machine and came out $10 ahead. I can't say that I'd go to a casino for fun though.   I'm happy enough to keep that $5 in my pocket, bird in the hand and all that.
