Journey at the Dallas version of Friday's concert, by ladybugbkt. If we hadn't been suspended a few feet off the ground in classic rock-induced ecstasy, Seattlest might have been more irritated about the 2.5 hour drive home from Auburn on Friday night after the Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick concert. However, we were happily cocooned in the memory of hearing Heart's "Crazy On You" and their Led Zeppelin covers only twelve rows from the stage. And though......

When Seattlest tells people we are going to see Journey, Heart, and Cheap Trick tonight (and we have mentioned it as often as possible, which may or may not have been obnoxious), the response is typically one of two options: the enthused "OMG I love Heart!" or a groaning "Well, that takes me back a ways..."

RETURN TO THE '80s: The B-52s are playing at the Showbox at the Market tonight. We hope you already have your $50 (!) tickets since the show's sold out. If you're into that kind of '80s thing though, you can get your fill at "I Love the 80s" at Club Noc Noc with DJ Shane. Tonight is sure to be a love-shack bonanza. 9 p.m. // Club Noc Noc // Free TIME FOR THE BIRDS:......

Augh, we don't know, dawg. It was kind of weird for us, dawg. We don't know, man, she almost kind of worked it out, but not really. It was just alright for us, just alright. We'll stop with the Randy-Jackson-speak now. Kristy Lee Cook came out in a way better outfit. Her hair was a little 1992, but she's hot enough that that's okay. But, given that Amanda Overmeyer (the gal with the chocolate-vanilla swirl......
