I don't have any pictures or video of Jon Schmidt or the music he played. But I do have a few sister stories and a photo of a horrible date going on before our eyes.
- I accidentally told Wendy about how I call her a diva behind her back. A diva is a good description of Wendy when she is tired or hungry. Anne agreed with my assessment and added that I (Joey) am like a troll under a bridge when I am tired or hungry. I guess I'd take that over diva. Anne is neither of these things because when she is tired she sleeps and when she's hungry she eats something.
2. During a short intermission, J. Schmidt catapults ding dongs into the crowd. It was very dark and he was worried he was going to hit someone. I said, "I wish I got hit by a ding dong. In my dreams....." Who would complain about being pegged with a wonderful chocolate treat? And who wouldn't believe that it's realistic for me to have that kind of dream?
- If you have ever been to a J. Schmidt concert you would know that he's a comedian. The guys is hilarious. I love all of his jokes. Even if I have heard it at all of his other concerts, I still laugh. He really knows how to put on good show. My sisters say I go for the humor not for the music. That's not true. I go because he is an artist of blending music and jokes.
- At one point during the concert, Wendy really needed to excuse herself. She had to gear up for it because she was a little nervous. She thought maybe a crazy piano nerd would attack her. Or that she would encounter children, germs, or uncleanliness. She was wrong on all accounts. She was able to safely "excuse herself."
- And finally....there was a couple on a date sitting on a blanket in front of us. They arrived before we did, and we were early. I can't recall either of them ever speaking a word to the other. The girl would sneak and look at her cell phone once in a while and they both would take pictures and stuff. If one laid down the other sat up. They never sat close enough to reach the other with less than a 3 foot 9 inch stick. Looked unbearable. So we left. Literally, we left the show early.
"If you're hungry, eat something!"
