Girls Night Out

EJ and I had a GNO last night. Yes, on a SCHOOL NIGHT!!! Way back, about five months ago, I purchased two tickets to the Miley Cyrus concert. And last night, the long-awaited date had finally arrived. These photos are actually in reverse order, thanks to the non-intuitive order in which Blogger uploads things. Or that you can only upload five photos at a time. Anyway...here's the rundown to the show, from encore to opening act!

Miley did one encore and closed with The Climb:

This was the other song from the encore, I Can't Wait to See You Again:

At one point, she did a cover of Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll and she climbed on a Harley that soared through the sky.

She came pretty close to us!

She and one of her dancers got into a terrible fit of giggles at one point and she couldn't even talk!

EJ had a great time singing along!

Miley's fashion choices are "interesting".

For Fly on the Wall, she and the dancers rode onto the stage on a giant bug:

Yes, I even liked the bridal-style dress with the pink tube socks and boots over this little number:

Miley's brother's band, Metro Station, opened the night. Her brother has the look of a serious hard-core rocker. He jumped. He swung the guitar around his neck about 100 times in the 6-7 songs they performed. He only had to say one of two things ("BOSTON!!!" or "MILEY!!") to get the girls screaming. Too bad he couldn't sing to save his life. Awful, I tell you. He even said that "a lot" of people didn't want them to be the opening act on this tour, but "my sister believes in me". I think she'd better start listening to the music people who know what they're talking about. He was that bad. The lead guitarist for Metro Station is Mitchell Musso's (also on Hannah Montana) older brother, and he was actually a good singer. Miley's brother just needs to play guitar and jump around.

We had pretty good seats--on the right of the stage, about 1/3 of the way back from the stage and 11 rows up. The edge of the catwalk was probably 50 feet away.

EJ at Fanieul Hall for dinner before the show!
