Right now I could not be more excited. In exactly 5 hours and 33 minutes, and 16 seconds I am going to see what has quickly become one of my favorite bands, live, and only minutes from my home. Yes, people, tonight, I, Yummy Mummy, am going to be front and center at a Wakey! Wakey! show.
I know, I know I can hardly believe it myself.
Ever since I heard this band, about a year ago I have been obsessed, Obsessed. I have
- Will they serve alcohol?
- Will I be the oldest one there?
I finally broke down last night and called the bar manager who told me that:
- Yes, alcohol is available for those over 21 (whew) and
- Yes, I will be considered as a chaperone for the event (okay, he didn't really say that but I could hear it in his voice.)
He also said that I would not qualify for the senior discount, but I can rest assured that one of the youngins will likely offer this old lady a seat at the bar. Whether that happens or not I am in for one great night of music. I am also pretty sure that I will use a line that I have become famous for when I am out with my sis which is, "young man don't you realize that I could be your mother?" Which depending on how much I drink is usually said to any "boy" between the ages of 21 and 30.
If you are into Wakey! Wakey! and want to see this momma make a fool of her self, tickets are still available (and are crazy cheap) and can be purchased here.
As a side I cannot tell you how awesome these guys are. After I wrote this post about the band I received the nicest email from their management. I absolutely cannot wait to see these guys up close and in person! Yep, dream. come. true.
5 hours.... 11 minutes....

Hope you have fun!
I have to say, though, you seem to have some sort of obsession with your age. You seem to think you're old or something. As someone who's older than you, I find it a bit odd. You are definitely not old enough to be the mother of anyone who you'd find at a bar.
Anon, Thank you.... We had a blast!
My obsession is not with age, but rather with being age appropriate. I enjoy getting older and am actually very much looking to my forties. When I get there, and even now, I just don't want to be one of those people who runs around acting like they are a decade or two younger.
The being too old for someone's mother is just a joke, when I go out with my sis she, being 21, meets boys her age. When they try to also pick up on the "old" married lady I have to laugh considering that I am old enough to at least have changed their diapers.
I know what you mean. I remember the "old guys" that still skate boarded that would hang around the college scene when I was in fact that age. I would think where is the wife and kids? I am so glad to be past that phase. It would probably give me an anxiety attack going to one of those shows.
