I'm going to a gig, so I am

THE Young Wan is out and about today in town with her lovely pal having gotten tickets for some 'gig' in HMV.

The excitement was palpable since I said she could go a couple of days ago. She has been so delighted that people only needed to look at her sideways and she would say 'I'm going to a gig!'. She was thrilled. And I have enjoyed laughing at her telling all and sundry 'I'm going to a gig' 'did I say I was going to a gig' 'I'm off now to the gig I was telling you about'.

Deciding what to wear last night was also fun. The cool (as in not warm - but it is actually cool-looking on her) dress was a no no because she would be moshing and her sandled feet could be a problem. I said then don't mosh because you will be roasting in those jeans in this weather. Ah Mammies - we are just to sensible for our own good. Just one question do people mosh in a record shop?

Ah the innocence of it all, brings an auld tear to the eye.

However consider the fact I brought her to the Pixies and Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert in the Phoenix Park two years ago. Despite my thoughts on that being a very cool thing for a mum to do, nah the gig in HMV is well cooler. Mummies are just not cool.

The Pixies and the Chili Peppers? Jeesh, you are good to that girl. And I thought mine should be grateful to see INXS. Hope she enjoys the holiday.
