An Evening With YES! at Foxwoods

Last night my husband and I went to a concert at the MGM Theater in Foxwoods to see an Evening With YES!  He had a phenomenal time.  I had a good time.  I confess I'm not a YES fan but I don't dislike them either.  It was a good concert.  Not too long not too short with an encore that was just the right amount of time.  We bought the tickets a long time ago, back when I thought we could afford them.  As they were non-refundable I thought we should go.

We started off the evening with a long and traffic filled drive down to Mashantucket where we parked with relative ease at the MGM Grand.  Then we took the shuttle to Rainmaker Casino and ate at the Festival Buffet.  Since we couldn't really afford to eat there I made sure I pigged out sufficiently to justify the cost.  I hit the BBQ station first and enjoyed some steak, pulled pork, and sweet potatoes with some cornbread.  Mmm mmm good.  I next hit the "International" Stations where I had mashed potatoes, pot roast, rice pilaf, and fried chicken breast.  Then I went for the Asian and seafood counters where I got some Scezhuan String Beans, Spring Rolls, and of course fried clam strips.  For dessert I enjoyed cheesecake, Boston Creme Pie, and Coconut Cream Cake.  Ugh, I overate just a tad.

We walked the mile back to the MGM Grand Theater and picked up our tickets.  Then we went and settled into our seats in the Right Mezzanine.  They were pretty good seats being only $20.  We waited patiently for the show to start and then there they were.  YES! live on stage.  I decided the lead singer looked a little like Viggo Mortensen.  They played two albums in their entirety and then my husband's favorite song for the encore.  I confess it was past my bedtime and I couldn't help yawning through most of the show.  But it wasn't because I was bored, just tired.

We got home at midnight and actually found a parking spot.  Yay, us!  We stayed up talking for awhile until Jason fell asleep.  Then I tooled around on the computer for a bit before going to bed myself.  The most interesting part of the night however was that I was hit on by a woman.  I'm starting to regret my short haircut.  It is not attracting mean, but women.  Which wouldn't be a problem if I were single or a lesbian, however I am neither.  And I don't react well to anybody hitting on me.  I get shy and then ignore them.  Oh well, she could have thought I was a bitch and I'm okay with that.  After all, I'm not all sweetness and flowers dispite what you may think.  ;)
