mumma loves a banjo man (of course I do, he sings our blog soundtrack!)
today we had the very best day imaginable! We have had tickets for our hero DAN ZANES for about a month now and Piper kept asking if we were going 'tomorrow' and finally tomorrow came!
We had a wee hiccup with Ticket'monster' (y'know who I mean), having purchased tickets for the 12pm show only to get an email a day or so ago saying that it was cancelled and our tickets would be refunded;-(
I went to the Dan Zanes website to see what the deal was only to find out that all 12pm tickets would be honored for the 3pm show...but stupid old Ticketmonster had already processed our 'refund'(minus the $35 service fees)
I emailed Dan Zanes and we got a reply back that we had seats, not to worry and we'd be able to see the concert after all! It's a small venue, the Fitzgerald Theatre in St Paul, yep, the one where Garrison Keiller does 'A Prairie Home Companion'!
A rockin' good time was had by all...Paisley sang through the entire show, bopping and clapping along to the eclectic beat of this formidable music man! As you can see Piper had a fab time too!If you have yet to hear the wonderful music of Dan Zanes and Friends I suggest you rush to the store and get a CD pronto!
dancing in the aisles....it's required!
The night ended with a meal at Broder's, our new favorite Italian place in Minneapolis. Piper and Paisley were mini celebrities at the restaurant, we had two different tables come up to us to commend them on their behavior and how sweet they are!
Today was also dubbed...Adios Lumpy night, for tomorrow it will be gone. Piper is very interested in Lumpy and wishes she could come to the hospital with us tomorrow...but she has a fun day planned with our wonderful neighbor Kristine. We have to be at the hospital at 8.30am tomorrow, so we will try to post an update later tomorrow night.

We are a Dan Zanes household as well! Kiara LOVES LOVES LOVES him!!
Since he lives here in NYC, he sometimes does free summer concerts at the piers...hopefully it will happen again this year!
Glad you all had a rockin' time!
Will be thinking about you tomorrow!
I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow! Who could not want to talk to you guys look at those dolls they are so sweet!
I will certainly be thinking about you all tomorrow! I hope all goes well!
You MUST e-mail or call us sometime when you headed to Broders! They are right in our neighborhood....we get delivery from them all too often! Awesome food for sure!
Glad you still got to enjoy the show - he is very eclectic! Hope all goes well with Paisley today. You will all have a prayer said for you.
Can't say I have heard of this guy but it was great to see you all having so much fun...
Good Luck tomorrow.

I so want to go to a Zanes show with you guys, what fun.
Thought of you all day and am anxious to hear how Paisley is doing. I was going to call tonight but figured you guys would probably have lots going on. xoxo
call me tomorrow if you get a chance, I'm off :O)
We love Dan Zanes - what a cool voice. We first saw him on kids tv "in-betweens". Glad you guys had a great time. I love seeing pictures of your growing family.
What fun! You all look like you had an awesome time! Thanks for turning me on to Dan Zane. He's cool.
Hugs,
JOnni
