Idol (08/04)

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Season 7's American Idols are on tour this summer and they are hitting more than 40 cities including Cleveland! I know, it may seem a bit cheesy that I am posting about this, but come on...who doesn’t love “idol?” Well, like it or not, I am headed to the Wolstein Center at 7pm to catch a glimpse of “the David's,” Chikezie (I love to say his name), Brooke and Michael Johns. I must admit I have seen this tour before and it is a complete production, with a capitol “P.”



If you love pop culture, pop music, lots of bright lights and many fog machines, well this is the summer send off show for you! For more information, including tickets visit www.americanidol.com

Concerts at the Gazebo

Just a quick post about last week’s concert at the Veteran’s Gazebo in Aurora. There was free food sponsored by Aurora Manor and Independence Village. And  a group playing bluegrass/folk, they were real good!  It is a nice location for the concerts, i hadn’t been there before and the evening was nice. it is sponsored by the City of Aurora. If you get a chance to attend you can have a good time. Plenty of room for the kids to run around and a nce hill to put your blanket on.
