Flo Rida

So last night Flo Rida put on a concert up in Dague on Camp Walker. Neither Preston or I really listen to his music, but we figured we would go. It was a free event and gave us something to do. We were laughing though, they chose the WORST time to have a concert here. Prestons Unit, which is the main Unit here in Area 4, has field duties in another Camp. Half of the Unit left Monday, and the others leave tomorrow.. So not many soldiers were around for it to begin with, and than they choose a Tuesday of all days to have a concert.. curfew here is midnight. So anyway we went there to have fun and hang out. Well when we got there it was only around 6:30ish and the concert didnt start tell 7 so we went and walked around the PX and before we realised it, it was 7:30 so we walked back to the Gym, where the concert was, and Flo Rida was still not on stage, and there was no opening act. It was just a DJ playing some songs... Finally at about 7:55 Flo Rida gets on stage... Of course he sings to a cd that the DJ is playing. Its him and a few other guys walking around the stage "singing" to their songs... Well after we took some pictures we got a little bored and decided to walk around the base again while listening to the concert (you could hear it pretty much anywhere on post). Then we decided to walk off post and up the street a bit to wander the movie store. We started walking back to post at about 8:30. As we were walking onto post we started noticing a lot of people walking around, and a lot of cars leaving post.. We walked pass the bus stop on post and soldiers were complaining cause they had an hour left tell the bus arrived.. I looked at Preston and was like there is No Way that concert is over yet?! What are all these guys doing?? Well when we get to the car, which was parked across the street from the gym, we see that, yes the concert is already over! Flo Rida did not even last an hour!!!! First he showed up almost and hour late, and then performed for less than an hour! We were in shock, as was everyone else... and a little disappointed. Honestly you can get more entertainment from just listening to his songs on cd!!! Even though his concert wasnt really worth even driving to, at least Preston and I had a nice time walking around post and just talking... something we havent gotten to do a lot of lately.

Prestons Unit is doing field work the next few months.. They are heading out for Phase 2 this week. Preston was told he will be going to Phase 3, but were not really counting on it; since he was supposed to go to Phase 2! He did guard duty for Phase 1. With all the field work things on base are slow... not much going on and not many people around.

This Thursday and Friday I am participating in a conferance in which Military Spouses get together with Commanders of the Posts and we talk about things that are bad on post, or overseas and ways to help resolve the problems. After this phase, they may send me to Seoul for another one and then another Phase in DC. I dont know if I will be going to the 2 and 3 ones, but for sure the ones this week. It should be fun, Nikki is going with me so I will at least have her to talk to!!

Random, but on Saturday Preston and I went to the Commisary to get water (we were out) and they have a big box thing of pumpkins for sale, there is one in there that is HUGE its $32.00 I swear it has to weigh more than Preston. Tomorrow I am going to try to get a picture of the beast. It made me laugh so hard.. Looking at it made me wonder how in the world would you carve a beast like that?!!? I will post a picture of it tomorrow if its still in the Commisary!
