Help I've been Gleeked!!!

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

Bridget has watched Glee from the beginning and has some of the music.  I'll admit I have seen the show, but usually when Gwyneth is on.  She heard they were coming to San Diego and really wanted to go.  AMEX had a presale so...  Before I ordered the ticked I called Connie to see if her and Russ wanted to go too.  Russ loves the show too.  We had to order the tickets in February.

The day of the show finally arrived.  Connie and Russ came down that morning.  We had a light lunch then if was off to the winery.  I needed libations before the concert.  Haha.  Not really, we had purchased some wine tasting  at one of those discount websites.  It was to the Bernardo Winnery, just up the street from our house.

Founded 1889. The oldest continuously operating winery in Southern California.

We each had 5 tastings and sat out in the patio.  On Sundays they have Live Jazz on the Patio.  There are also little shops to browse.  Afterwards we bought some of the wines we liked and then went over to the Rancho Bernardo Inn and showed off our neighbor.  Bridget and I have attended many concerts there and it is a beautiful place.

We got back to the house, changed and headed down to Mission Valley.  Bridget and I picked out Hunter's Steakhouse for dinner.

We had a great dinner then headed to the Valley View Casino Center (the old Sports Arena).  There was a lot of traffic so I took a short cut and we parked on the street and walked over to the arena.  There were huge lines just to get in.  Once in there were many people around all the souvenir stands.  We had seats on the floor.  They were great because we were right by a smaller stage that the cast members came out to for some numbers.  See the pics.

I have to admit the concert was entertaining.  The cast of Glee and the band was good, even the Warblers were there.  No teachers though.  All of the kids were there, even the one kid that dances but does not sing.  Hopefully they realize how lucky they are to be on that show and do sold out concerts across the nation.
