Brush with fame (4/20)

For weeks Ryan has been asking me to take him to see his new favorite band, Hollywood Undead. I was unable to take him because well it was on a school night and it was at the House of Blues (I think they have an age limit). Ryan was really upset that I was being so unreasonable, but then he found out that they were doing a CD signing at a Best Buy. So I decided to take him.

Ryan was so giddy. On the car ride there he was so nervous, his hands were sweating, but he calmed down when he was standing in line.

I, on the other hand, was just a little bit nervous because this is what the band looks like.

They completely creep me out. I mean when I saw them in concert I wasn't able to watch because the mask totally freak me out. But I was pleasantly surprise when we got there and they looked like this.

Ryan was beyond excited to meet his favorite one:

I was happy that I could take him to meet them.

Spring Break 2011

This year spring break was a just a tad uneventful. Since I just started my new job I didn't have much vacation time to take. But luckily, since we were slow I was able to take off that Friday. I wanted to do something fun for Ryan, but since he is on the verge of being a teenager nothing I suggest sounds remotely fun to him. Except for one thing.

Since I moved to Dallas (in May of  1997), I have been listening to Kidd Kraddick in the Morning. So eventually, it had to rub off on Ryan. Especially once J-Si joined the show four years ago. Ryan thinks J-Si is so funny. So funny in fact, that I have a hard time getting Ryan out of the car in the morning.

Anyway, I thought since I was able to take off that Friday we would go watch the show. Surprisingly, he was excited. So off to Las Colinas we went. It was relatively easy to get to since I now work in that area now.

Ryan amusing me by letting me take his picture.

We got lucky and not many people were sitting on the benches watching the show and we were able to get a good set. Then after awhile, during a break, Big Al Mac and J-Si came out to talk to us and film a short web episode.

Then Kellie and Jenna came out with them. 

While they were out there Al and J-Si decided to have a cartwheel contest.

Now this next set of pictures is not the best, but here they are.

If I remember correctly, neither one of them won. The winner was a 5yr old girl.

During all this, Ryan was getting to take pictures with all the morning show.

Suprisingly Kidd Kraddick never came out but that was ok, Ryan really only wanted to meet J-si & Al.

Ryan was a happy guy. I think I did good.
