No BSE for May 8th

Registration is closed and no "Meet Keith". I am okay with this, I have many other shows to get rejected for. :)
It's official at 10:09am

Dear Monkeyville Member,

We're very sorry, but the Meet & Greet for the Uncasville, CT show on May 8th has reached its capacity of Monkeyville Members. Please try again for another show. Thanks for supporting Keith!

Best,

Something Everyone Should Watch

I have watched this at least 10 times and have cried every single time. Even though it has nothing to do with country music it has to do with dreams and dreams coming true. Just incredible.

Tour Merch

Just heard that all the merch has been finalized!! YAY. Can't wait to see what new items they have for sale this year and what the designs are. I am hoping for a non-zip pull over hoodie! Hate those zippers. Hope they change their mind on this, but looks like no hoodies until August. I might have to design my own to wear until the official hoodies go on sale. They come in handy with too cold air-conditioning in the hotels, arenas and airports.

I would assume that if all tour dates have not been officially announced before Mohegan that all the dates will be listed on the back of the T-shirts. I will take a picture of a t-shirt to get the rest of the "official" dates while at Mohegan.

I have heard from several sources now that maybe Australia at the beginning of December and ending prior to the Christmas holidays. No official confirmation and I haven't seen anything with dates yet, so this is pure speculation but if I were an Aussie I would be saving my money for concert tickets to go on sale later this summer or early fall.

Keith Urban BSE

I registered for Mohegan BSE for the May 7th show yesterday and it now states registration is closed and it did allow me to register for the May 8th date so I am assuming that I did not win.

I am ok with that. I would love to meet Keith this year but if I had a choice (which I don't) would rather have it later in the tour than at the first show so I have something to look forward too.

It's Official I got denied!

Why?

Someone sent me an email asking me why I thought this blog was necessary. Well, I thought I stated those reasons several times. It is a place for my friends to keep in touch with me this summer while I go from place to place and to hear about my concerts and other fun things I am doing.

I opened it up to the Keith Urban fans in case they also wanted to read about the Keith shows or other concerts I am going too as well.

It is as simple as that. So if you want to join me this summer, feel free. If you don't, then don't!

Thanks for visiting!

To GO to CMA or NOT?

I have literally changed my mind about this everyday for the past three months and I know that time is running out and I need to decide in the next week.

I loved CMA Fest last year. I had the best time and was able to discover new artists that I have not really listened to much in the past and found that I loved them (Jake Owen, Luke Bryan to name a few)

I didn't enjoy the stadium shows as much as I thought I would as the talent last year wasn't the combination that I had hoped for.

This year my plan was to do the Riverfront shows (which they just announced are free this year) and do the free concerts and fan club parties of my favorite artists and the softball game, fashion show, etc. It really comes down to hotels. Most of the hotels are either sold out or the price is outrageous unless you buy a tour package and honestly I don't want to spend that amount of money this year.

CMA just announced that single night tickets are going on sale this week, but without a lineup announced how are you supposed to know which nights to buy for?

So if anyone has any ideas of where I can find a cheap room or bed to crash in that is within walking distance of downtown, then I am there, if not then I might pass this year and go to other concerts. Keith is playing on my birthday in Atlanta which I have been "pressured" (you know who you are) to go to, if CMA Fest does not work out, I just might show up in Atlanta. :)

Concert Updates

What I am hoping to do since I was able to get my Twitter account to update this page, is to do live concert updates like I did last year directly my Iphone. The reason I am going to use twitter for this is twitter allows you to upload pictures immediately and I will be able to take pictures of the current stage layout, etc as the night goes on and it will allow me to send it the set list as it happens.

The hardest things is going to keep my phone charged. Working on a backup battery boost, checking ebay for that as we speak.

I am going to try to test this at the Jake Owen concert in a few weeks, hopefully it works.

To get to the twitter updates, follow me on twitter, my ID is concerts09.

Thanks

Val

Next Concert-Jake Owen April 29th, Louisville, Kentucky 4th Street Live!

Great Album. Highly Recommend it!

Getting Ready for the Tour

WOW, its that time of the year again when I am busy choosing my shows, buying my tickets, booking hotels and teaming up with my girls to attend my concerts for the season.

My goal is to accomplish a few things.
To let those that can not attend feel like they are there.
Share my on the road experiences as they happen.
This will work in conjuction with my Twitter Account and if I can get it to work out correctly, update this live as it happens.

I really want to keep this light-hearted and friendly and for that reason I am going to have to moderate comments before they are posted . I hope you understand. Please be patient as this is a bit different from what I did last year.

I will be doing a few test posts before the tour actually starts to see if things will work once I hit the road.

I am going to write about more than just KU Concerts this year and hope to attend a variety of concerts between now and the end of the year.

I will add pictures and video as I go along (and learn how to) and for those who were with me on the last go around, good to be back and have you back reading again!

Let's go!
