The KFC Experience.

I called in sick yesterday. The migraine was killing me and I really had to take the day off. So I slept all morning, and did some work in the afternoon. Late afternoon, the kids arrived from school and we had some small talk about school. My daughter was raving about her upcoming school contest and I was happy that she is already confident in getting herself involved in these things. My son on the other hand was complaining because the contest he was in was scheduled last which meant he wouldn't have time to play afterwards because the service would then be there to take them home. Well, boys will always be boys...

But wait, this isn't the story yet. Early evening I took a bath planning hit the sack early so that I would be recharged for the next day. And then it came, an invitation from The Cherubim friend to go with her and watch The Rockstar front act with his band for a very popular band nowadays(reasons of which I could not comprehend) at an out of town show not far from here. She coerced me into going and I just couldn't resist the offer, free tickets! So instead of putting on my sleeping gear, I slipped on a pair of jeans and a comfortable top. I hurriedly said my goodbyes to my kids so that they wouldn't have a chance to whine and beg me not to go out and off I went expecting to have a great night of music!

Next, we were delayed for a while because we had to pick The Model to complete our group of some sort. After a few misunderstandings on where we were supposed to pick her up, we finally found her and we were on our way. The travel was quick and we found our way to the venue in no time. The place was jampacked! And there were more people who wanted to get in! We tried our best to get in amidst the shouts and clamor of so many fans! I panicked, what if a stampede occurred? And to think we were not even interested in seeing the main acts! All we wanted was to watch our friend, The Rockstar, play a few songs. The Teacher and I thought, this is not worth it anymore. We decided to sell our priced tickets to the many raving fans who wanted so much to be able to get inside.

The Cherubim of course still went ahead to enter the venue through some connections to make sure that The Rockstar was treated well by the organizers and paid accordingly. The Teacher, The Model and her friend, The Driver and I ended up going to KFC to eat dinner. We choose KFC since there is no KFC branch in our place and we were all craving for it. Oh well, it was a good ride and a great chance to get the KFC experience for the night. So much for the music and hysteria of a concert. At least we had a taste of the crispy lickin' good thing right?

Anyways, it turned out to be a fun trip after all. We had a chance to hang out with The Rockstar's band after they did their thing in the show and we had a few good laughs. All in all, although I was not able to sleep early, I had fun! Spending time with good friends and just having plain, clean fun was worth it! No booze, no rock and roll, just a great joyride, a laugh trip and the very memorable KFC experience!
