First, Best & Last ...


Was thinking that it's been far too long since I last saw a show (2008) and how some of my best memories are of shows and concerts. I know some of you have funny and/or interesting stories to share. So with that, I ask you ...

What was the first show/concert you ever went to?
What was the best show/concert you ever went to?
What was the last show/concert you attended?

The first show I went to was actually a performance by Michael Jackson. It was for a benefit my parents took me to when I was 9 or 10. I definitely knew who Michael Jackson was, but had no idea what I was in for. I was amazed and wanted a glove after that–just one. The best show ... there are really too many but by default it will have to be Nirvana since I am so glad I got to see them play before Kurt passed. And the last show I went to was Radiohead's last tour at the Hollywood Bowl (pictured above). It's also a contender for the best. I've seen them play three times but this time was special because I was 5 months pregnant and Eric and I decided to go all out as we've never done before for a show. We had excellent box seats, we valeted the car and had dinner up at their Rooftop Grill. It was so nice but I think Eric was a little embarrassed at first considering this is a guy who used to frequent fIREHOSE shows at random holes in the wall.

Who, Us? ...

The Aldridge's ... Jane (Sea of Shoes) and Judy (Atlantis Home) at the Chictopia conference.

So earlier this week The Sartorialist had a very thought-provoking post about how it's only a matter of time before designers open up their shows to people like us (fashion fans, bloggers, etc.). And then a couple of days later I run into this over at WWD. I like the idea of being able to attend a show but what do you think? Would you attend a show if you could? If the fashion floodgates are opened up do you think the free-spirited nature of blogging will be tarnished? Or should everyone just relax and have fun?–I'm partial to the latter. Let's hear it ...
