I’ve been in Michigan for a little over three weeks now and I must say … “those Michigan Adventures keep on coming!”
For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, that is a reference to my MySpace blog. My sister and I have a running count of all our adventures / misadventures in our various travels. Visit it at www.myspace.com/clever_crissy
Okay - so far, I accidentally sped backwards through a long and rambunctious water slide, flipped, and had worries about drowning in 3 foot of water, got lost twice in Pontiac, lived through several thunderstorms and near tornadoes, made it through weather that reached 98 degrees with 80% humidity (hey - I’ve been acclimated to Alaskan weather!), and watched my stepsister graduate high school. Oh yeah, and my sister’s car, my step-mom’s blazer, and my dad’s truck all broke down the same day.
Did I mention that you cannot get scripted comedy this good????
We had an unexpected - but very awesome - adventure last night. My sister’s boss gave her 4 VIP passes to what he said was “the B-52’s.” I looked it up online and it turns out that it was The True Colors Tour. I had watched Cyndi Lauper on some talk shows in the past and knew she had done this type of tour in the past, but I wasn’t exactly lining up to buy tickets.
We were a bit late getting to the venue, so we missed a couple acts, but we got there in time to see Rosie O’Donnell, who I love, the aforementioned B-52’s and, of course, Cyndi Lauper.
According to the tour’s website, ” The goal of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) equality is at the heart of True Colors.”
Well, my sister and I are both straight and white, so we’re in the “groups” that have faced the least amount of discrimination - ever. So I’m not even going to theorize on what it feels like to be discriminated against based on your orientation.
All I can say is that it was a pretty good show. It was great to see so many people just having a good time and getting along.
And who knew Rosie O’Donnell could play the drums like that??
