Brad Paisley Virtual Reality Tour 2012

On Friday I went to Brad Paisley's Virtual Reality Tour. It was amazing and probably one of the best concerts I have been to. Scotty Mccreery was his first opener and sang seven songs off of his album. He was the winner of American Idol last year. He is only 18 but has a fantastic voice and is extremely cute. I am pretty much in love with him. Next the Band Perry came on stage. They are one of my favorite bands in country music right now. They sang about nine songs off their album. 
Brad Paisley started off with a laser show, that continued throughout the concert. For every song he had different animations that he made himself. This included a star wars themed animation when he was introducing his band to us. Between some songs he was his funny old self cracking jokes about certain things he wrote his songs about. “All you Salt Lake City rednecks look so good in camouflage,” said the country star as he opened with “Camouflage,” off his latest album. Before the night was over, in a memorable 22-song set, Paisley would feature the love song “Ticks,” utilize veteran actor Andy Griffith on the giant video screen in a poignant version of “Waiting on a Woman” and pay tribute to a host of country greats from Reba to Johnny Cash in “This Is Country Music.”
He would share the stage with McCreery for a hilarious version of “Celebrity” and The Band Perry for his signature “Whisky Lullaby.”
He gave away a signed guitar to a young girl, danced around the aisles to get close to his fans and sang a song on a second stage to pay tribute to those “in the cheap seats where I sat as a teenager.”
It was hard to know whether to watch the video screen, where all sorts of wild things were happening, listen to the music, enjoy the animated audience dancing in the aisles or watch the laser lights that often played on the arena stage.
He even had a hologram of Carrie Underwood to sing with him for their song "Remind Me." This hologram fooled my friends and I though as we thought that Carrie Underwood was actually at the concert. If only she was, this just goes to show you what you can do with technology. haha 
Brad Paisley finished with his song "Alcohol" after doing an encore with his song "Water" and diving into a pool of digitalized water. 
It was a fabulous concert and I am so glad that I got to go! Here are some pictures from the event.

The First Post of 2012

Happy New Year!! Crazy that it is 2012!! The past year went by fast! I meant to post yesterday but this new year has already been crazy busy. I went to an awesome new years eve party hosted by my brother and our friend Blake. It was a classy party, so everyone dressed up all fancy like. After ringing in the new year there I slept over at my friend Alexis's house and had a wonderful time. Crepes were the first breakfast that I had for the new year.
This year I plan to study hard, make some lasting memories with friends and family, and continue to stay healthy and keep up on my pescatarian diet.
I wish everyone the best for the New year and hope you can all keep up on your own resolutions.
Happy 2012!! :D
