King finally after many years of having to miss his concerts.

The concert was fantastic, other than the security staffs close to violent measures to keep photographs from being taken.  I even saw them make an elderly lady delete her photos or they threatened to take her camera. The unmistakable King of the Blues played for nearly two hours.  There was no stage set, but you didn’t need it.  He sang, played Lucille, told stories and jokes.  I had tickets in the 8th row and was completely satisfied.  It was a great experience.

In other news, I have been fighting a cold/cough for over a week; mainly brought on by my excessive working. So on those nights I couldn’t sleep the past 10 days and those few days I took off from work, I caught up on watching all of Heroes seasons 1 and 2.  Next, the last two episodes of Chuck!

People keep telling me I should watch Lost.. whats everyone think?
