First Entry - Bon Jovi's HOTT ass
Welcome to Suitcase of Memories!
I'd like to begin this journal with a briefing on what was, perhaps, the best concert I've been to thus far.
Who: Bon Jovi
When: Monday, March 6th, 2006
Where: Key Arena, Seattle
Companion: Jen, my partner in crime.
OH. MY. GOD.
I am surprised at just how much I enjoyed it. Jen is a HUGE fan and asked if I wanted to go back in October, when she was able to get pre-sale tickets. I'm always down for a concert so I told her I'd go with her. We got there pretty early and the opening band sucked. I felt like I was going to fall asleep cause I was tired and bored, but then Bon Jovi came on.
As the lights went up, who is standing on a platform about 10 rows down from us? Yep, Jon Bon fucking Jovi. He sang a song from the new album and then started in on "You Give Love a Bad Name" before heading back to the real stage. It was great. I also found out I know the lyrics to tons of Bon Jovi songs! I knew "Bad Medicine" by heart and had no idea. It was nuts.
The best part of the night, just because I thought it was funny, was when the band started playing a song and I turned to Jen and said "Holy shit! Is this "Blaze of Glory?" She was in denial. "No, it's "Wanted Dead or Alive." We argued (in a friendly way) until Jon, who was again in the audience, started in on the lyrics for "Blaze of Glory." I almost needed a diaper. Not only was Jon hot as fuck, but he sounded great AND he was so gracious to his fans. I will ALWAYS (haha) remember this concert as fantastic and will go see them again at my next opportunity.
I've always said I was supposed to be a teenager in the 80's and this just solidified my theory. I felt like it was 1986 and CeCe Deville of Poison was out there still getting laid. AMAZING.
Overall, the boys put on an amazing show and I enjoyed it far more than I have enjoyed concerts by bands I actually thought I liked more than Jon and Richie.
WOW. One more for the history books.

Wow, it's been over a week, and I'm still reeling. It's been all Bon Jovi all the time with me since the concert, and now their music keeps making me cry. I thought I would be a teary mess at the show, but I was having too much fun to get sentimental. I just keep thinking about myself at age 13 dreaming of meeting Jon, and now I've finally seen him in the flesh. Who says you can't go back? Bon Jovi will always be home to me.
