City Girls Gone Country & Hit the 90's

Yes, it was that time again.... STAGECOACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats stagecoach? Only the best 2-day country councert of the year. This was my 1st year going and i was excited. Ive hear of stories and ive been dying to go ever since. It was Mondo, Chantelle, Josh, Jen and I. I was so excited it was just the 5 of us. We are the best fit for trips. We departed on Friday night to Palm Springs - where we rented out a 3 room condo in a pretty amazing country club. The 1st night we were there we went to downtown palm springs to see what the night life was like. Well, it was pretty "old." All of the restaurants, clubs, bars... were dominated with older people (in there 40's & 50's). We should of known... Palm Springs is where u retire. So we just walked around and window shopped at all the great stores there. We hit the sac early because Saturday was day 1 of the concert.

Saturday: Oh, so excited. We all got up. Josh made an amazing breakfast for us all. The concert started at noon. While on our way.. we noticed a lot of cars with people in cowboy hats, with writting on there car windows saying "save a hourse, ride a cowboy" (lyrics to a country song, just incase u didnt know). We were getting closer. The concert is held in Indio (30 min south of where we were staying). We bought "cheap" but expensive cowboy hats to complete our outfits. When we got to the concert arena.. oh my goodness! I never thought that there were so many country lovers in L.A. There was an estimate or 10,000 ppl there that weekend. There was a sections dedicated for camping, camp trailors, general admission, VIP (thats where we were), a whole section of food (which we did alot of visiting to). They had every type of food imaginable; from: chinese, mexican, burgers, pizza, bbq.. everything! I, of course, only bought a general admission ticket, while my friends had VIP tix. I was not about to pay $300 for a concert. So.. we snuck me into the VIP section of course. Josh gave me his wrist band to get me in. YAY! We met some fun people there. The section was relatively small... only about 100 ppl were there.

Sunday:
We were all exhausted from Saturday. We didnt get back to the condo til 3am. Nobody was that anxious to get to the concert by noon. Instead we took advantage of the private heated pool we had access to. It was relaxing and just what we all needed; some quality time with eachother (which we havnt done is months). This was the best part of the trip (for me anyways). This day was Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts performin. At the end of the concert... Rascal Flatts announced that Osama Bin Laden was killed by the navy seals. The crowd went crazy!

Yes, Kerri, Chantelle, and I went back in time.... We went to a PRINCE concert! Ha. This was a last minute idea. The tickets were extremely cheap - $25.00. Now, i am not a big fan of prince, i only know 2 songs of his. Well, the concert was suppost to start at 7:30pm. It didnt acutally begin until 9:30 (when the opening act game out) and prince didnt actually come out until 10:15 or so. For only costing us $25 and buying the tickets the same day as the concert we got AMAZING seats... we were 10 rows from the stage and had a great view. The concert was AMAZING! Best concert i have ever been to. He had old school music videos playing on big screens the whole time, he sang songs from the 90's, he even did a stevie wonder song. He has so much energy! He has different secret guest performers with every performance. I wanna go again!!!!!!!!!!! I had such a great time :)
