30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 4

A picture of your favourite night

I really could think of alot of "favourite nights" that I have enjoyed in my life time: first school ball; U2 concerts; family weddings & milestone birthdays; New Years Eve in Sydney 2010-2011, New Years Eve at Pakiri Beach 2008-2009;Bring at the Breakers Game when they won the 2011 championship; a couple of fantastic "girls nights" just to name a few, but one that stands out is the night I took Bailey to see Cold Play here in Auckland. Joe & I had been to the concert the night before and Bailey was disappointed we hadnt got a ticket for him (he is a ColdPlay fan), the following day Cold Play was playing a second concert and our local radio station had the final two tickets to give away, they had a small competition where you had to guess where they were and it was the first person to get to them - the clue was, they were hiding in a supermarket fridge, the radio DJ said, "Whats the price of butter today" and the Promo Lad replied, "This isnt the kind of fridge that stores butter", I knew it had to be a alcohol fridge and at the time I only knew of two supermarkets in Auckland to have one and it just so happened that I was nearly at the motorway off ramp next to one of them, so of course I went there and sure enough there the guy was, extremely cold and waiting for someone to come in - YES!! I had two tickets!! Of course I took Bailey, they were General Admission tickets and I knew from being at the concert the night before that the band walked down the side and played at the back of stadium during the concert, so I set Bailey and I up so we could have a close up view as they came down and therefore didnt need to send the night in the crowds up front and I wasnt going to risk my then 9 year old getting squashed.

Much to Bailey's delight Chris Martin (lead singer) gave him a high five as he walked past. All in all it was a GREAT night for both Bailey and I, one that Bailey still talks about and we still have the Cold Play CD in the car CD rack and its played at least second a week, we will never get sick of it.
