Amy, Frances and I attended the Retrolicious concert last night. Best part of the show was the video clips that took us through the key events of the 80s year by year. It was a very nice walk down memory lane. People screamed in excitement when their favourite singers, movies or actors came on the big screen. Guess who did I scream for?? Performance wise, Johny Hates Jazz sounded good but sang too many songs from their new album; Debble Gibson looked hot at 40 but her voice was way too squeaky for live perfomance; Rick Ashley was the best of the night, looking and sounding better than before!
The big surprise of the night was bumping into Kristy. There were several thousand concert goers tonight and they came late, yet she was right there, standing just behind me! Both Michelle and Kristy were on my mind earlier because I knew Mich would have love to be there at the concert and there was this woman that looked like a shorter version of Kristy standing in front of me. Tears filled my eyes briefly as the memories of our chats in the hospital this time last year started to come back. Hearing songs that Mich and I used to perform to in the past did not make it easier. Kristy told me later thinks that Mich was with her and was saying hello to me through her. I also felt that it is Mich's plan for us to meet tonight, almost 1 year after her passing. This is a reminder to keep her in our hearts and move on with our lives...
