Riding down the highway, going to a show

What's on tap for tonight?

Pour some sugar on me, emmereffers!

My two sisters, a good sister-in-law, and I are going to see Def Leppard. Heart is the opener, and I'm excited.

We're leaving early to get our tailgate on. Not full-tilt boogie tailgating, which requires a grill and canopy and I don't know- a chaise lounge?- but a low maintenance picnic with grinders and plenty of beers.

Reasons I love tailgating:
1. It puts me in the concert mood.
2. No getting fleeced by the venue vendors- nine bucks for a Bud Lite, indeed.
3. There comes a moment, a second or three of such pure sweetness, when I remember that as good as it is to be drinking and hanging out, the main show, the crowning reason for it all, still awaits.

I have an hour before Ella gets here, and I plan on spending it watching the new SHERLOCK HOLMES. I caught the pilot and am very pleased with what they did with the characters. I was also taken in by the twist at the end.
