Well I guess it would be nice... if I could type somebody.. I know not everybody has got a 'puter like you... but I gotta think twice, before I type my hands away...
So the long awaited post about the George Michael Concert!!! OK so for those that don't know, Richard is a George Michael Fan, did I say fan, well you know fan is short for FANATIC .. that's defined by old Webster as:
fa·nat·ic Pronunciation[fuh-nat-ik]
–noun 1. a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics.
Synonyms of FANATIC are: crazy, devotee, extremist, fiend, maniac, radical, ultra, visionary, zealot .....
So he's not just a "fan"!!! And because Richie is a FANATIC, everyone that "hangs" with him or is related to him is required to be a fan as well.
Richie knows every word to every song, and every version of every song, including all the duets, the sound track only releases etc..you get the point, Richie LOVES George Michael and so by association so do all of "us". Including KK so since this is KK's blog, I talked to KK about the concert and what he thought of it. He said it was very cool and real fun. KK's favorite part about the concert was seeing how his Dad reacted, KK liked seeing his Dad happy and thought it was funny how Richie reacted to Georgie boy, he said the at first Richard sat down at first but when George came out he leaped of his seat!
So it seems that the concert was a great thing, that's KK take on it. I also talked to Uncle D who went and I asked him to give me a "report" on the concert so I could write this blog entry and guess what Uncle D sent me.... well he sent me the 4 pictures that you can see in the Gallery, and he sent me a picture mail to my phone the night of the show, but you are all wanting to know what was in his report right? Wellll, I wouildn't be Uncle Mike If there wasn't some suspense and excitment inthe blog right??? Right, so I'm going to save Uncle D's report on the show until the end, 'cause it's soooo good it's gotta wait, Saving the best for last, perhaps....
KK's favorite song from the concert was Freedom, it was the 1st Encore performance and they all loved it. He also wanted everyone to know that no matter what you may hear, his Dad did NOT cry ! I tried to get Richard's favorite part about the concert but he had a hard time verbalizing what was the best....I held the phone away from my ear for 10 mins (like you do when you talk to your Mom ya know?) just moving it back to your mouth to say "uh-huh" or "really?" "wow" "that's cool" and after about 10 mins about the concert... I reeled him back in and tried to get him to mention just his favorite part... he couldn't'.. It was "everything", he loved it all, but mostly he loved spending that time with his family together :-) Glad you had fun Richie!
While I had KK on the phone I got a live update from him on how he's doing and to quote him or maybe that was Tony the Tiger... "I feel GRRRRRRREAT!" he was feeling pretty poorly last week and through the weekend. Hehad Chemo Yesterday but is feeling really good today , no pain in his leg or anything! So a good day!!
The Little's did lose Alanna's Dad this weekend though, sadly he succumbed to his cancer and passed on Sunday. He had been through many rounds of Chemo and radiation and had suffered quite a lot. He was under hospice care and with his wife, Alanna's Mom, Lola when he passed peacefully. Alanna is down in Vancouver with her Mom and Richard and KK are home. We all send our love and hugs to Alanna, Lola and everyone in their family. Erin was an amazing man, I only got to meet him a few times, the most memorable for me was at Children's when KK had his first surgery and He and I sat and talked for a couple of hours, I was thrilled to hear about his Life, he truly had an amazing life from start to finish and from what I know of him, he had no regrets and was extremely proud of all of his kids for all they have accomplished. He will be missed and remembered fondly for all of his wonderful actions. You may see a write up on his life here.
On a brighter note, there is a PARTY this weekend!! A fundraiser Poker tournament and auction, check out the events page and please SHOW UP so KK can woop ya in Poker... I'm not sure what all will be auctioned off, but I do know there will be some cool Starbucks items ( not sonics gear) as part of the auction or raffle! So haul your whole family on down to Lake Stevens for the PAAAARRTTTTAY!! Looks like the weather will be gorgeous too so no excuses, as the God Father would say... Dooooo ittt!
OK that's all for now ! Keep the Faith and KK, Keep Kickin' it hoss!!
Oh wait I almost forgot, Your all wanting Uncle D's Report on the Concert.. here ya go and I quote:
"We came. We saw. We left. Richard cried."
Thanks for the report Uncle D, that was awesome and well worth the wait!!
...bk
See you ALL S-A-TUR-DAY SATURDAY!! Saturday night's the night I like.. Saturday night's alright alright alright!!
Next Update Sometime soon after the Party.. you can expect to see an "interview" with KK in the next update! I've compiled a rather serious (honest) list of questions to talk with KK about and gotten his permission to "interview" him so that and an update on how much I won in the Poker game coming soon!!!
