Hey everyone!!! Okay so I just had to blog about this! So on September 30th my mother and I… well we sort of went to a little concert. You know no big deal… it was just a little one at the Warner Theatre in Torrington. Oh yeah did I mention that we were seeing CELTIC THUNDER!!! So for all of you who really know me you know that I can die happy now haha.
Well the concert started at 8pm but of course we got there at like 6:30 or sometime around there…. give or take about 5 minutes haha. So anyway we had just parked in the back of the building… right next to the buses
. Well I was getting out of the car and I look over to the buses and guess who I see walking towards them!! I was like mom “ I just saw Keith and Emmett walk towards the buses!” She was like no way. So I not really even thinking just walked right up to the buses and was like “Keith”.
Next thing I know is that Keith Harkin (for those of you who do not know… he is my favorite
). Well he is walking right to me… actually he ran over. Anyways… that is when I just completely blacked out. I don’t really remember much of what I was saying except for a few things. But I was just like “Hi Keith (Ps I was shaking like a earthquake I was so nervous!!!) How are you?” Okay interjection real quick most of you know I am an art major and I LOVE to paint! So I got bored one night before the concert and decided to paint a picture. I was having little inspiration so I was like “What the heck I’m going to paint Keith a picture”. So I painted and ocean scene with two palm tress and two surf boards. I thought it looked somewhat okay I’ll be honest it was not my best painting haha. Anyways so I gave it to Keith and he smiled and said thank you *insert my giggles right now as I remember it haha*. So he asked if I wanted him to sign anything and I was like yes!!! So I handed him my Celtic Thunder Sheet Music Song Book. Yeah he signed it I’m not going to say what cause a few of you will just tease me for it haha. So while I was getting my permanent marker out of my purse… which felt like Mary Poppins bag at the time. I asked him how the tour was going and he said (mind you in his brilliantly Irish accent *melts*) “it’s going good… it’s all good in the hood”. See now here is my problem I can not remember if I said this out loud or thought it but I chuckled to my self and then said “haha the hood.” *face palm!!!* I really hope I did not say that out loud haha.
So anyways then I got my picture with him then a hug *sigh giggle*. My mom took the picture. Then when we were saying tootles I looked behind him and there was George!! I did not get to meet any of the other members of Celtic Thunder but that’s okay cause I met Keith haha. So after that my mom and I went to the front of the building to wait for the doors to open and there we meet two of the guys who travel with them. One was one of the truck drivers the other the guy who sold the merchandise. Yeah they were awesome. Can I just say if you want to win my heart talk in an Irish accent okay haha. So we were there waiting for a while more people started to come and wait also. While we were waiting I met a girl who was passing out flyers for Paul Byrom’s concert next month. (He was a former member of Celtic Thunder but left to pursue his own career). Anyways so we started talking and then next thing I know I’m helping pass out flyers… hey it is for a good cause.. stop judging haha.
So yeah that was fun… hopefully a lot of people will buy tickets. *PUBLIC ANOUNCEMENT* All those who are in the tri state area… Paul Bryom is having a concert at the Ridgefield playhouse on Nov 17 at 8pm tickets are 35$ you should come!!!! Okay please come it might be canceled if not enough tickets are sold so COME!!!!…. Okay I’m off my soap box now haha. So we finally make it into the theatre and we are waiting at the doors to the actual theatre and in front of us is a line of ushers keeping us from going a farther and a staircase. So while we are waiting guess who comes down the stair case Neil Byrne and Ryan Kelly. (members of the group). I go to my mom and I’m like “Look it’s Neil”. Okay the next thing that happened was so funny. I did not know that my mom’s voice could get that high. She yells/squeals “NEIL” (PS he is her favorite if she had to pick one haha). And then shouts Ryan’s name. He looks up and waves to her. I was scared she was going to pass out haha.
So we finally make it into the actual theatre and after a little wait the show starts and OMG!!!!!. Yeah it is amazing. 100 times better than the dvd’s. Trust me! haha. The newest member Daniel who is 13 years old is sooo sticking cute!! He sang “To where you are and Somewhere over the rainbow” and your heart just can’t help but melt haha. Later in the show he and Keith sang the song “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” and it was soo cute. He was singing it to Keith and Keith was supposed to act “annoyed” kind of like how a little brother always wants to be with the older brother and be just like him. It was so funny Keith would do one thing and Danny would do the same. I loved it! The songs they sang though were wonderful! Some old ones and a lot of new ones. Keith sang two of his original songs “All Day Long and September Sessions”… *melted like butter* Then Ryan came out and sang “Friend’s In Low Places” and the rest of the lads came out and sang with him… it was soo awesome. All the lads though were amazing and when they sang
