Miller Lite Concert - Columbus, Ohio

I was lucky enough to attend the Miller Lite Concert last night in Columbus, Ohio. It was a private event. You could not buy tickets for it. It was at the Nationwide Arena. We got there early and got lucky enough to get floor seats. We were about 10 rows from the stage watching Phil Vassar, 3 Doors Down, and Sammy Hagar and The Wabos! It was a great party! I got videos and photographs to share with my blog readers! ;) Enjoy!


On our way to Columbus!

Waiting for the concert to start

Phil Vassar got things started.

Phil Vassar playing the piano.

Singing on top of his piano. He was everywhere! Very fit to be jumping on that piano!



This video is of Phil Vassar singing "Piano Man." He was very good! This was my first good video of the night.


Laughing and enjoying my Grape vodka mixer! YUM

A margarita & 2 grape vodka mixers and this party got even better, lol. (and no I was not driving!)

This went down to cover the stage while they got ready for Sammy Hagar to play.


The jumbotron was literally over our heads!

These were not all taken in one trip. We decided to get a season pass last year since we were living so close to the zoo. We went many times and know it very well. It is a beautiful zoo! If you are lucky enough to visit you should see the gardens, the children's zoo (feed the animals, pet the farm animals, play in the playground, see the penguins and see the nursery.), the bird house, the Manatees, feed the Giraffes, elephants, ride the train, and visit the reptile house. The gardens are at their best in spring or early summer, April through June.
