D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F


Now I don't know what this finger thing is all about but KBW insisted.............LOL



My D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F cap!!



A couple of weeks ago Brad came home from work and asked if we had plans for Friday August 15th as he had a surprise planned and wanted me to arrange a babysitter. Not being a big fan of surprises I refused to arrange anything until I knew what we were doing and was able to decide for myself if it was something that I could be bothered leaving the house for.... So Brad relented and told me his surprise, he had secured tickets for a Kevin Bloody Wilson show!! He arrange a whole bunch of guys from his work to come along, most of whom are not even Australian. The show was at one of the many local casinos, Carnival City which is about a 45min drive away from home (not allowing for traffic). So I arranged with one of the teacher aids from school, Megan, to come and babysit and then decided that I would be much more relaxed if: 1. We didn't have to drive home late at night after the show and 2. The kids were close by in case of either one of them not settling. So we booked a room at the hotel across from the casino and Bob was our Uncle (well technically he's Brad's uncle but that's another story.....LOL). Megan met us at the hotel and we all went across to the casino for dinner and a little look see. Then it was time to get the kids settled (yeah right they were both too excited to settle before we left for the show - poor Megan) and head for the show. The opening act was Jen Talia (KBW's daughter) and she was bloody hilarious! After a short intermission KBW came on and he was awesome! We laughed we swore and we sang along! Before we went in to the show I bought myself a D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F cap and beer cooler and after the show KBW was waiting outside to sign stuff and so I got my cap signed and also had our picture taken with him (sadly he was positioned in front of a lighted billboard type advertisement for another act coming soon to the casino so the quality isn't the best). The next morning we hung around for a little bit and had some brekky in the casino and then went into the big kids arcade area and played a game of ten pin bowling, Brad & Riley did some Daytona Car Racing together and then seeing as how Emily was a little unwell and a LOT tired we hit the road and headed home. All in all a great night and definitely worth leaving the house for!

Good surprise brad!! A nice touch a bit of home eh?? I would've loved to see that I reckon it would've been pretty awesome. And it sux that the kiddies were too excited to settle for you before you left I'm sure that would have made you worry for a bit. Love the photo... hee hee hee
