2007 started off pretty slowly but it didn't take long before the days were flying by and I some how had made plans for more things than I realized. And yes, just like with any other review I do, this will be LONG! haha

Back in January, I FINALLY went digital…Digital camera that is. Boy have I been a picture taking fool ever since! So much so that 10 months later, on Halloween night, I realized I had hit 10,000. Yes, you read that right...from Jan 5th through Oct 31st, I had taken 10,000 pictures. Insane even by my own standards! Granted, a lot of my picture taking was done at the MANY, many concerts I attended. But then again I took 1200 alone on our Spring Break vacation! :D

In music news:

Oh boy...where do I start? How about at the end...

Not that I try to break my own record year after year, but I do keep track so I'm aware of the numbers. What am I talking about you might ask? Well, I'm talking about the number of concerts I attend in a year. Prior to this year, the most shows I had gone to was 39. Well, 2007 proved to be an outstanding year in regards to the number of bands that came to town that I just HAD to see. I saw bands every month in 2007 for a total of... *drum roll*...53!!

YOWZA!

I saw new bands, old bands, fave bands and local bands. I can honestly say, there wasn't a bad concert in the whole bunch. Well wait... *checks list again* Nope, not a bad one! I went on three road trips this year along with attending Summerfest four times. Somehow I went to 15 concerts in July alone. (I AM CRAZY!!! haha)

Overall I had a great time with hubby/my son or friends that were with me. Oh and I finally met some fellow LAG fans from Germany back in March! They were awesome and my friends/family and I had a great time showing them Chicago! And speaking of, I met quite a few new friends this year and met up with old friends at multiple concerts all year. It's always great meeting up with other people who share your same passion for music.
