Ok I know I have stated recently that I'm going to AC/DC, but I can't be any more excited. They are my favorite band. I have seen them once and they are epic. History: Started in like 1973 and are continuing to rock the halls 36 years ish later. They sound pretty much the same.... Epic Guitar riffs and powerful lyrics. Stuff that echoes throughout time. I have a play list on youtube of the set list tonight.... link. And if you are curious to see what they sounded like in the concert I went to, pm me. Someone illegaly recorded the concert and stuck it on youtube. I will not post the links here due to copyright infringements.

I have seen others people in concert..........

The Who

Journey

Toby Keith (3 or 4 times)

Brooks and Dunn

Kenny Chesney

Blue man group

I want to say there was one more, but I can't remember it.

So who has everyone else seen?

Hasn't anyone else been to any shows? :huh:

Anyway... I've seen Rush and Tool. Also, although I didn't SEE them, America played in my town just down the street and I could hear them.

I was going to see Yes but it got canceled.

The bands I have seen are Paradise Lost and Nightwish. That was my very first and only concert. I just ahve to say that Annette is very good at including the audience and Nightwish is an awesome band.

I wish I could've seen AC/DC, Tool and The Who live. Even if the Tool one wasn't exactly live.

I was never much of a concert goer, usually being dragged along. Here is my list

John Denver, twice

Peter Paul and Mary

Judy Collins

The Outsiders

maybe a few others of the above genres

I actually knew some of the Cryan Shames (Sugar and Spice) before they were famous, saw them at a lot of college mixers, their first bass player was in one of my college classes and we joked around a lot instead of paying attention.

In 1962 or 63 I was on our school's version of student council as homeroom rep, and we were deciding on a Spring concert and the choice came down to the Kirbystone Four or the Smothers Brothers. In the 70's a choice like that would cause hilarity, and of course today, only us oldsters would understand the humor (the Kirbystone who?), but back then, they were about equal. Funny, huh!.

The Guess Who

Wide Mouth Mason

Our Lady Peace

Foo Fighters

Perfect Circle

Smashing Pumpkins

umm......a bunch of others that weren't big at the time.

and...um...... :unsure: *whispers* backstreet boys

Don't laugh, it wasn't my idea....

The guess who and Wide mouth mason I saw same night, the latter was opening for the former.

The rest all happened same time at a summer bash, there were more but I can't remember them all.

I know I would give just about anything to see Tegan and Sara :( They've played here a few times, but that was before I'd heard them and wasn't a fan at the time.

Next time they pass through, I swear to god, I'll quit my job if that's what it takes to make it! (and then humbly beg to have it back the next day hehe)

They have 6 albums now, and every one of them is firmly rooted into my mp3 player. I'm willing to bet they're permanently hardwired into the thing now.

I've been to one concert and there are many more that I missed due to timing or money.

Trans Siberian Orchestra, Nov. 12, 2009

While I was at the arena, I found out Megadeth and Slayer were playing there the next day. D'oh!

Being a wild child of the 60s and 70s, my first concert was Bobby Sherman. You young folks will have to look him up. The only other singer I saw was Lee Greenwood unless you count Ted Neely in the Rock Concert Jesus Christ Superstar and Melissa Gilbert in the musical Little House on the on the dogpatch (can't spell Pararie) :blush:

      I'm sorry, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but I think to an extent the truth is irrelevant here. There is an absolute torrent of transphobes-were-right-all-along stories emerging in the wake of the Cass Review, not to mention the WPATH Files. These are coming not only from the usual anti-trans suspects, but from reputable newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. (David Brooks in the Times: "Hilary Cass is the kind of hero the world needs today.") And while I'm aware that both those outlets have been leaning anti-trans for a while, they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes.   Ultimately, all that's needed for governments to ban these treatments is enough public support, and I suspect that support may be rapidly growing. Since I work with trans kids, cis folks often bring up the topic with me when they have "concerns", and I have been amazed at the number of otherwise reasonable people who have latched on to classic anti-trans tropes like social contagion or the idea that trauma causes transness. Whereas in the past they were generally convinced quite easily by my obviously superior knowledge, I'm expecting the task of convincing them to get harder starting as of now.

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.

      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.

      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Finding a few pictures from a trip to Thailand I went to 10 years ago.They were pictures taken with Katois aka ladyboys.It was cool to meet them and planning to go back next year.A couple of them saw I am transgender too.
    • April Marie
      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.
    • KathyLauren
      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.
