Well Saturday was interesting.
We took Marcus to his second concert ever. Bro-in-law (Jeankel Johnny, as Marcus calls him) got us tix to Trans-Siberian Orchestra, with the intention of him, Colleen and I going to the show and having my parents watch Marcus for a few hours.
As it turned out -- Johnny had a play to do at home, and my parents wouldn't have been around to watch him, so we ended up taking him.
We had seats in the sixth row, center section on an aisle. How cool was that -- best seats I have ever had for a concert. (Mind you, if it was a Floyd show, I'd want, oh... twenty rows back, so that I wouldn't be overwhelmed by the whole spectacle.)
Marcus was pretty good during the first half. He sat and listened to some of the music, and watched the guitars (he loves guitars... I can't wait to get him his first real one when he can truly learn to play). He didn't like having earplugs in his ears, though. He also sat on C's lap, and my lap, and even fell asleep for a couple of songs! However, I don't think he liked the lights so much, especially the strobes. During the second (really loud rockin') half, we ended up walking the ring around the seats of the DCU Center, peeking our heads in from time to time, as Marcus was a bit on the restless side. We had one of those backpack/leash contraptions on him. We stayed through the whole show, so we got to hear everything they played.
All in all, it was an excellent show, and for his second concert, it could have been a lot worse.
