The Other Josh

Since it has been over a month since I've posted anything, I should be posting about what I've been doing this summer with my boys. Instead, I'm posting about the other Josh I am a big fan of since I had a blast last night at his concert.
This is a picture I took standing about ten feet from where he was performing. I somehow managed to get two tickets on the floor, just 11 rows away from the stage, right in the middle. When the pre-sale tickets went on sale, I was sitting at the computer, credit card in hand. There were six of us going to the concert, but you could only purchase four tickets at a time. I got the first four tickets, about half way up the lower bowl, the second section away from the stage. Then when I went to book the other two tickets, the best seats available were on the floor, and I am still shocked that I was able to get them.
Mom and Melissa sat the first half of the show on the floor, and then traded Kristy and I half way through. Toward the beginning of the show, Josh walked down the isle next to them and talked to a kid sitting behind them for a few minutes. They were within three feet of him and Melissa took this picture with my camera. Toward the end of the show, he came back to talk to the kid again and take him on stage so Kristy and I were within three feet of Josh. It was awesome.
I'm pretty sure I could see the same concert many more times and not get sick of it. Diane, I blame you for my addiction to his music.
While we were trading seats, Josh got on a platform to do a few songs. We had to walk past the platform in order to get to our seats. Security chased us down to stop us, but when we showed them our tickets, they had to let us go. So we joined the other people standing around the platform before finding our seats. It was awesome being ten feet away from him as he performed. I doubt that will happen again!
I took this picture from our seats on the floor without using the zoom on the camera! I had a great time at the concert!
