So christmas was ok for me this year but my favorite was December 27th here's a story about the concert in Atlantic City I went to

The Early November Concert!
Well December 27th was one amazing day for me. Let me start this by saying I love music and my all time favorite band is The Early November. I went to see there holiday show at House of Blues in Atlantic City. Left my house around 9:30 in the morning and got to the showboat hotel at about 12:30-1:00, checked in and then went to house of blues for lunch, after lunch went up to the hotel room and dropped off my bags, then took a walk on the boardwalk or pier or whatever you want to call it. Got in line around 3:15-3:30, met some people in front of me and talked to them. Doors opened around 6:00 or so maybe before or maybe a little after, I don't remember I was too excited. I was up front for Dave Melillo, he was pretty good, I don't like his music much like I like The Early Novembers, but I order his cd once I got home, so give me a couple weeks and I'll start to like his music. After Dave Melillo came All Time Low. I bought the All Time Low cd at warped tour 06 and I've liked the band ever since then so it was amazing seeing them and I was in the front almost too. After All Time Low I went to where the merch tables were and was gonna by a bayside shirt, but decided not too. Bayside started 5 mins after I decided not to buy anything, so I went and tried to get a good spot to see them. I've heard of Bayside a lot before, but were never really into them till I heard them play then. I'll get the new cd when it comes out! After Bayside I moved a little to the front so I was closer to the stage for The Early November or TEN. The Early November took and stage and were amazing like they always are. First they played my lack of skill which is a awesome song, followed up by a little more time which is my favorite song by them.They played ashala rock which was insane, after that came fluxy which is one of my other favorite songs by them, they played no good at saying sorry which is amazing.They played sunday drive after that which is deff another amazing song, decoration came after that, then sesame smesshame which is another one of my favorite songs, they slowed it down by playing from here to LA which in my opinion is a good love song, they played the one that you hated after that which is the song I listen to least of all there songs, but I started to love it last night after they played it. Another one of my favorite songs was played which is called i want to hear you sad, then the rest of my life was played, then they played this wasn't in our plan.They rocked the stage after that with all we ever needed, then they played figure it out which is one of the songs that I have grown to like since the tirple disc came out in july. They then played hair which is one hell of a song, something that produces results was played next followed by mountain range in my living room. After that they went out stage and everyone started chanting one more song, one more song, one more song. They came out and played two songs, ever so sweet, which Ace(who is the lead singer for those of you who don't know)told the crowd to sing along too if you knew the words. They ended to show with baby blue, which rocked. I didn't get to meet them again this concert, but now that gets me more pumped up for the next concert I see them at.
heres the setlist for all of you
01. my lack of skill
02. a little more time
03. ashala rock
04. fluxy
05. no good at saying sorry
06. sunday drive
07. decoration
08. sesame smeshame
09. from here to LA
10. the one that you hated
11. i want to hear you sad
12. the rest of my life
13. this wasnt in our plan
14. all we ever needed
15. figure it out
16. hair
17. something that produces results
18. mountain range in my living room
19. ever so sweet
20. baby blue

Shirley, great gift idea to ron for the idea. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year, and hope to see you real soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to our dearest friends. May love, hope, and happiness be yours at New Year and all through the year.

Andy, I love all the Disney pictures you pick up. The one for New Year is cute. I really like the Christmas wreath one. Where do you find them? And I'm jealous that you get to go to WDW during the Christmas season. I really missed going this year with my DD. It was such a magical time. Now that she is in middle school, I won't do it. Too much for her to catch up. So I'll have to live through other people's trip report until I can return. I wonder how many times you will go before then?

Once again ED, thank for the countdown.

And Lainie, hugs to you and your family.

Where is everyone else?

Be safe all.....Cheers!

Hi Shirley--most of the Disney clip art I either get from doing Google searches, or I find them here on the DIS and save them. The clip art I used for the 2007 and Mickey and Minnie in my siggie was found at this site: http://www.disneyclips.com/ I think I got the Mickey wreath here on the DIS about two years ago.

Most likely, the trip to WDW next Christmas will probably be our only trip there during the week of Christmas. I'm not really a fan of "BIG" crowds, but our friends really wanted us to join them for the Holidays next year, and I have always wanted to see the park decorated for Christmas. I've been reading this week here on the DIS that three of the four parks had to close the other day for a while because they were each at capacity. One of Hazel's cousins and her family just arrived home yesterday from WDW, I'm curious to hear what she had to say about her trip.

The only bad thing about our trip to WDW next Christmas, is that, we most likely won't be able to cruise in 2008.

We have more $$ things that need to be taken care of to our home in Florida, and we need to take care of them before I retire in 2010, I can only stretch the $$ so far, LOL!!!

 

[Lainie1222]

Shirley, having never been to WDW, I will live it through other's trips also, so we will share together. Up and getting ready for a busy night tonight. We have a good dinner list, and will have a nice crowd for ringing in the New Year. I hope all is well with you and your family and a big hug to you and yours also.

this is me today this is Doreen

this will be me tonight, anan and then home to bed!!! I would just stay in all night if I could, too old to stay out late

Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. May all your dreams come true in 2007.

Happy New Year To All My Friends Over Here

Love Sue and Vicki xxxxxx

 

[Dizzyworld]

Hi Andy....Sounds like a plan for next Chirtmas. As for 2008, who knows for many of us until they release the dates. You didn't think you'd go on two cruises in '06.

So what are you going to do with your retirement? How exciting for you and Hazel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lainie....hope you survived New Year's Eve. A very long night in your business for sure. Get some rest today...and the next few days.

TTFN,
Shirley

[Lainie1222]

Thanks Shirley, it was a very busy night, alot of people, we were packed. Doreen and her family came down for dinner, as well as our mother, and stayed to ring in the New Year. It was nice having them with us. Usually Doreen stays home, and is by herself, so it was extra special, and because 2006 was an extremely stressful year, we were all ready to celebrate its end.

We slept until 11:30 yesterday, and then got to our Uncle's party about 3, and were back home before 6. In bed by 8 and back to work today. I am working two days and then Thursday off as my new carpeting for family room is due. We are slowly but surely upgrading this old house and after carpet is the main bathroom. What a job that will be.

I hope all is well with you and your family.

Take care and Happy and Healthy 2007 to you and all my new friends from the cruise!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I never get notifications for this thread, just realized it was still active. Next month we have our first cruise on the Disney Wonder.

 

[Verandah Man]

I was getting e-mail notifications about this thread for a week or two, then all of a sudden they stopped again

As of right now, our plans after June 2010 are to move to Florida, then we'll go from there!!!

I just told Hazel this morning, "I now have less than 3 and 1/2 years left until I can retire, I am excited, yet scared about it at the same time. What am I going to do to fill my days?" Of course, I am thinking about getting a part-time job somewhere with Disney, possibly even with DCL at the terminal. We'll just have to wait and see what happens!!!
