Pridefest

Hello my Blogosphere friends,

     I had an amazing Sunday. I actually went to Pridefest at the Summerfest grounds. I know some of you want to hate on that, but before you do please remember God loves all of his children!

    I got to see my brother in law play again. My brother in law is actually this phenomenal guitar player, Steve Vai even said so, which is kind of a big deal (he has sold over 15 million albums). My Steve, the brother in law, was playing with a band called the Dianna Jones Trio. Wow, that lady can sing and play the guitar! Worthy of checking out. Steve was so in his element, I had moments trying to suck back the tears watching him up on that stage. He looked so happy and sounded so good. I don’t know how you can walk away from the stage and hop back on sounding like you had never left. The music industry is really about luck I think. Steven is so talented he just never got that break at the right moment with the right people. He has mingled with Big and Rich, and they thought he was pretty impressive too, I drop Vai’s name first as I find that more impressive.  He was wonderful, Dianna and the rest of the girls were great, and a shout out to the Sandman too. I just can’t leave the drummer out, how rude!

    So, my agoraphobic self made it to the Summerfest grounds. WOO WOO let’s hear it for me! I have to say I have not been to a lot of festivals or concerts over the last several years due to my issues but this was the nicest group of people ever. Everyone we spoke to was just kind and friendly, this does not happen at Summerfest. I actually really didn’t want to leave, it was nice being around joyful people.  It really started from the moment we arrived. We sat next to a nice guy and just started chatting and joking, he could have hung with us all day. As we were standing in line a man said, “Is any one feeling lucky?” My sister of course responds…but he was just a nice man who had an extra ticket so he wanted to pay it forward and bought both of our tickets. Where does this happen? Disney is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth, I think perhaps it is actually Pride.

“Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.”
