An(other) Intimate Evening with Rick Springfield
Jim & I attended our second Rick Springfield concert at the Arcadia Theater in St. Charles, Illinois, on Friday night. (Overall, it's my fourth Rick concert: I saw him in Salina, Kansas, in the mid-80s; Navy Pier, 2000.) I got us seats in the first row of the balcony and they were incredible!! I could have touched Rick when he came into the seats to do his up-close-and-personal performances!
I should have taken my Canon camera, because I missed a lot of great shots using my Fugi purse camera. I was worried cameras would be frowned upon. Was I wrong! Everyone had cameras!
One shot I missed was almost an entire row of women fanning themselves. When we got there I noticed lots of people had paper fans. Do you think the theater passed these out because the majority of the audience was menopausal?! Or because Rick is just so hot? hmmmm
Again, the audience was primarily women. Not a lot of men there. Hey, if you are a man a Rick Springfield concert would be an excellent place to meet women! Just a thought, guys!
Women were grabbing Ricks hands and putting friendship bracelets on them. I could have made a killer bracelet for Rick! Or a necklace!
I'm leaving the pictures full size for the full effect! If you'd like to see more, visit my flickr site. I have posted every one I took. Scroll down for my favorites!
