Last night was the most fun I have had in a long time. I had an opportunity to go the Rod Stewart concert last night in Edmonton. Every so offend my team leader gets tickets to an Oilers game, Rush game (lacrosse), Foot ball game, or any other event that may be happening for free through the kids up front association. We took about 8 kids aging from 10-17 and the rest were staff to the concert. At first most of the them were not dancing because they were embarrassed by the staff or other reasons. Then when the concert got going and more and more the kids and the staff were dancing. A client that I work with had an opportunity to go with his mother and the client bought me a mug for a souvenir. the client mentioned that all the staff were crazy. One of the other kids I work with though we could go down and met him. Most of our kids don't have opportunities to go to things like that due to them either not living with their family or the parents just don't have the finances. Its so great that we are able to give the children or family's those kid of opportunities.
The stage was in the center of Rexcall, the stage con sit of three circles that inter linked with each other. On the outer circles in the middle of them were seating for people. The middle circle of the stages had plaid curtain that was round. Also before the concert started Rod Stewart had bag Pipers playing because he is Scottish. Man you know how you can read or hear about those fans that are just crazy about an artist especially the girl fans and how they give article's of clothing to the singer. Well that actually happens because I saw a girl give her under ware and another one give her bra. Man that was just nuts. I just laughed about that.
Over all the night was a really success and we all agree that taking the kids out to things like this is a great thing. On the plus side they were all able to get up for school the next day with no issues. An Man are we the staff really tired because some of us had to get up early for work the next day but it was all worth it.
