the pink concert {and i love my hubby's job}

My hubby P. works for a sports and entertainment company in Toronto which means plenty of last-minute free {or cheap} tickets to concerts and hockey games. Yippee! On Wednesday afternoon, I got the call that he could get four tickets to the Pink concert that night. And so, on the spur of the moment, the Bloomers and our friend Meredith headed to the concert, only to find that our seats were right at the side of the stage, within tattoo-view of Pink. Yippee #2! The concert was amazing and truly entertaining...and that girl has pipes! I think Pink is one of the very few pop singers who can actually really sing. And she is incredible live. Her version of the Bohemian Rhapsody was insane! Check out some of the pics - including Pink giving half of a peace sign. I didn't realize I captured this moment until I got home!

fun with Feist!

Last night at the very last minute, Melanie and I were lucky enough to get free tickets to the Feist concert {thanks Pete}! They were great seats - 6th row at the side - and it was a mesmerizing performance. Feist's songs are haunting and beautiful and mellow and delicious....her latest CD, The Reminder, is constantly on my playlist!

Just as a quirky touch to the concert {as if Feist isn't quirky enough already} she had 'shadow artists' projecting shadows with shape and light and images on a large screen, using a glorified overhead projector! The images were moved by hand and it was such an organic and whimsical touch that perfectly complemented the music. See some of the pics below, or click here for more fan photos....what an interesting visual and so human, in contrast to a concert's usual automated laser show!
