Debbie - No worries, I won't get it because what she had was "ICan'tHandleMyAlcohol-asitis". She's claiming food poisoning because she's embarassed. I'm sure of it.
The concert was at Gillette Stadium - where the Patriots play. Adjacent to the stadium is an area called Patriot Place. Has a ton of restaurants and shops. The concert was schedulled to start at 7:30 so we got down there @ 5pm to have some drinks and dinner. Within those two and half hours, we both had 3 margaritas. Not the giant Outback steakhouse-size margs., they were small; but whatever. On the walk over to the stadium, she made a comment that those drinks had hit her hard but then she orders a 24oz. Coronoa once we get to our seats. At one point during Elton John's set, I look at her and her eyes are closed! I knew she was drunk. She then left to go to the ladies room and was gone for about a half hour. I kept texting and calling her but got no response; I knew she must have been puking. (visions of college passed through my mind) Finally, about 5 songs into Billy Joel's set, she texts me that she's not feeling well. Now -- here's when I turn into a not-so-nice friend: I texted that I was coming but then Billy started to play "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant".
I stayed and listened to the song.
After that, I got to her and she still wasn't feeling well; she just looked wasted. I suggested we leave early because I knew once the concert was over, it would take forever to get out of there and I didn't want to deal with this drunk person for a long ride home. So yeah, I missed most of Billy's set and I'm annoyed. He was really good. It will be interesting to see if she expects me to pay for the ticket. I'm going to wait for her to bring it up.
Oh, and did I mention this is the same mom who made fun of the Jonas Brothers in front of Lauren a few weeks ago?

I know stuff happens, but what ticks me off is that this friend often brags about how she goes out and parties when she's away on business - likie doing shots all night long. I always found those stories hard to believe and now, after last night, I definitely don't.
Anyway, on to better news...................our meet and greet pix are up!

I've downloaded to my computer and will post them here shortly. I'll also be posting lots of pix on my trip report so check out there too!
