George Michael baby!

Last night was the George Michael concert! And it was so much fun. We all loved it. Here we are at the house getting ready to drive to San Diego. Camille, Jessica, and me:
It's official, we really have tickets!
Of course, a stop at Chipotle along the way. Ironically, we got a little lost finding this one in La Jolla by the temple. And then as we came near the concert venue, there was another Chipotle right there on the corner:
We had the cheapest of seats but once we got there, they really weren't that bad. The San Diego Sports Arena is pretty old (and kinda ghetto as you can see in the picture below) but the nice thing was that there weren't any super high seats like there would have been at Staples Center or the Anaheim Pond:
No cameras were allowed inside so I decided to steal photos online of how cool the stage set was. Seriously, it was so awesome! This huge screen wrapped all the way down the stage floor and flashed different images or videos. It looked like he was dancing on the light. Really cool effect:
San Diego was the opening night of his American tour for Twenty Five Live and I'd like to think we represented America well. EVERYone was up dancing and singing along to all the songs. He would often stop and let us sing the words and I was amazed at how loud we all were:
The first half of the concert was awesome. He did a bunch of the good oldies: Everything She Wants, Don't Bring Me Down, One More Try, Father Figure, and more that I can't remember now. It was so much fun. The second half opened with Faith and then went into a bunch of his new stuff, which we were as familiar with. But then he gave us Kissing a Fool and the crowd went crazy. The big highlight was the end. He went off stage to change outfits and we were all wondering when he'd come back. Then....cue jazzy sax and in came.....Careless Whisper. The crowd really went crazy this time. It was so perfect. And for his encore: Freedom! We loved it. Absolutely loved it.
We noticed that he didn't hit all of the high notes he normally sings. Instead he would go down to a lower note or let the crowd sing it. Perhaps he's too old for hitting those notes or maybe he's saving his voice for the next 2 months of touring.
All in all, George Michael is still hot and a fun dancer on stage. He may be gay but we'll just pretend that he was in love with each of us back in the day:
And seriously, who can resist the GM we grew up with? So hot:
A very fun night. It's great to act like teenagers again.
