Christmas in March!

Yesterday Eric, Jessi, Kelly and I went uptown to see Michael Bublé at Bobcats arena. (This was part of our Christmas present from Mom & Dad Welch.)

After a nice dinner at Rock Bottom we made our way over to the arena. We arrived a little late, but got to see most of the opening act, Naturally 7. They are an acapella, or vocal play, group with the members "playing" drums, guitar, bass and harmonica with no instruments. They were pretty amazing and extremely talented.

Michael Bublé was awesome! He played all of my favorites - Feeling Good, Everything, Home, Save the Last Dance for Me and Song for You.

It was pretty cool during Home, they put a video together that played behind Michael as he sang the song. The video was a collection of images of Charlotte, UNC, NASCAR stuff and pretty much all things Charlotte. Also, one of the guys in his band is from Charlotte. In the middle of the concert Michael introduced the band and they did some solos. Well, after they were done the band got a standing ovation. Michael pretended to get mad and stormed off the stage. Well, the guy from Charlotte got up and started telling us how Michael was not really a nice guy, he never makes eye contact with them, they aren't allowed to talk to him, etc. So the Charlotte guy starts to sing to finish out the show (he was pretty good!) and Michael comes back on stage and started "playing" the trombone in his place. It was pretty funny.
