I have a new part-time gig that's a hoot! I got a second job at the local concert venue in my hometown and worked my first show this week as an usher! I got to see Chris Issac and Stevie Nicks. It was a fun night--but it was scary when our ticket scanners went down (thanks to me, I might add  ) and we had a long line of people at the VIP gate who paid $130 for their seats! My first night was almost my last, lol...
But it all worked out and it was great--and no, there were no reports of a middle-aged woman running after Chris Issac's tourbus. I was good, I promise!!

OMG you are so lucky!!!!! That's the kind of gig that I want! Too bad I live in such a small a$$ town with no big concert venues. I love Stevie Nicks!!! Congrats on the new job!

Now the next concert I'll probably work at is Old School Funk, which is Ohio Players, Teena Marie, Cameo, etc. Should be a hoot. It'll be all day on a Saturday and it's an outdoor venue, so I know I'll be nice and red, to go with my uniform shirt, lol...

I wish my part-time job was something like yours! I work part-time at a C-store and some of the people who come in are nasty--crackheads, drunks, you name it! I even had one customer die right in front of me from a heart attack!!! Sorry-digressing here, enjoy your job and have fun with it!!!

Fallout boys aren't bad...but it is definately a teenager early twenties band(unless you are me-I grew up when New Kids on the block were popular so I am stuck in POP music for the rest of my life...Pretty embarrising that I have every Britney Spearks Cd, N'Sync cd.....I am almost 30)

My stepdaughter listens to Fallout Boy and she's 15. Leah-I LOVED NKOTB. I got the cassette with "The Right Stuff" for my 15th birthday.

My kids were into N'Sync--so much that I had to take them twice. And were they crushed when Lance came out of the closet, lol...He was dating that cutie from The Amazing Race.
