First of all, let me say that this is kind of sad for me to be writing my final review for the Alive in ’06 tour. But I was very lucky in that I got to see Keith three times this year. Let me start way back at the beginning, when the mishaps began. I saw Keith in Greenville, SC back in November and had a great time. I was ecstatic when the second leg of the tour was announced. I had eyed the Tallahassee date since it was posted; it is about 4 hours from me. But I decided I would be happy with seeing Keith in Huntsville on Valentines Day instead. At the time the Tallahassee tickets went on sale I did not know what my schedule was going to be like so I did not buy any. I went to Huntsville and was a little disappointed in the show. The music was great but Keith was not his usual animated self, totally the opposite of the Greenville show. So I got to thinking about Tallahassee. I got my schedule from the hospital and I considered it a sign that I did not have to work that day. I also spoke to a friend in SC who mentioned she wanted to go to see Keith in Florida. So, I went online and bought really bad seats on ticket master. I was kind of sad to be sitting in the back but I was not in the financial position to go through eBay or a ticket broker. We had a great road trip planned out, girls gone wild in Tallahassee. My great plans were shattered a few days later when she was arrested (minor charge, long story) and could not leave the state until her court hearing. So, I called up another friend who had gone to Greenville with me (actually, she got the tickets) but she of course had to work. Even my threats of kidnapping her would not sway her. So, I was forced to take my husband. That sounds kind of mean, but we have not been getting along well lately and the idea of being in a car with him for 4 hours made me think twice. But, I tried to focus on Keith and how this would be the last time to see his show for a long, long time. Two days before the show I came down with the stomach virus that has been going around lately. I have never been so sick in my life! Ironically I wanted to be a few pounds thinner before I went to see Keith, and I was. I lost 5 pounds in twenty-four hours I was so sick. Anyway, Friday the fever broke and I made a miraculous recovery. So, I got a co-worker to watch the dogs and off we planned on setting off to the great state of Florida on Saturday morning. Well…around five ‘o’clock Saturday morning I awoke to the sound of a rainstorm and my husband telling me he was sick with the stomach virus too. I checked the weather radar and saw nothing but rain from here to Florida while my husband claimed he was dying. I was about to cry when I reminded myself that other Keith fans had gone through much worse to see a show. So I braved the rain, ignored hubby’s pleas for a peaceful death and packed him into the car. We got to our hotel in Tallahassee that afternoon. I tried to convince myself that with a shower and a nap hubby would be better. He wasn’t; so at seven PM I left for the show by myself. I got lost in downtown Tallahassee, drove through several neighborhoods before finally asking some nice young men for directions. When I finally got to the Civic Center it was quarter to eight. All of the parking lots were full. I finally found a parking garage that was open and tried to blend in with the crowd of latecomers making their way to the venue as well. Once inside the Civic center I bought a tee shirt and made my way to my nosebleed seats. I got to see the last song of Pat Green and chatted with the nice couple in front of me. They had been to the Blue Room Experience and told me how excited Keith was and that it was going to be a great show. And they were right!!!
