Do a little dance, make a little love…get down tonight!
My Beautiful Friend, Lisa, SCORED US SOME SMOKIN’ HOT TICKETS!!!
I grabbed Jeremiah today for an hour or two and when I brought him back over to her house she had a pair of tickets to a concert sitting on her catch-all.
I kinda, sorta pulled them out from under her purse and FUH-REAKED when I saw who she had gotten tickets to see.
“OH. MY. GOD! You have tickets to see KC and The Sunshine Band?!”
I’m not certain if she thought my enthusiasm for the tickets was genuine or mocking until I burst out with song and dance to “SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. SHAKE YOUR BOOTY, SHAKE YOUR BOOTY!”
She asked me if I wanted to go with her. OH DO I?! I ran out to the car where Rob was waiting for me to take him to airport and I was breathless with excitement.
“Rob, GUESS WHO I GET TO GO SEE TONIGHT!! TONIGHT!! IN CONCERT!!??”
He shrugged. Not really caring…unless I said The Raiderettes..NUDE.
“KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND!” and then I proceeded to burst into song again.
“Freak.”
“You don’t like them? HOW COULD YOU NOT?”
I then told ‘Cita that I was going and she looked at me like I had grown a second head.
“KC. you know…KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND?”
“Yeah, I know…what I’m trying to figure out is why you’re so excited.”
Beautiful Friend, Lisa calls to tell me….wait for it…THAT WE GET TO MEET HIM BEFORE THE SHOW!
I rushed home and got ready. It was a 107 outside and my ass was sweaty in the plastic chairs as we watched the show…except for the part when I SHOOK SHOOK, SHOOK SHOOK, SHOOK MY BOOTY!
It was a blast. I don’t care how old he is. It was fantastic!
Go ahead, mock me…I know you’re jealous.
