Free Concert!

I went to a free concert last night.  The mall in Collierville is a bit different, kind of reminds me of Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga.  It's an open mall with nice walking areas with pretty sculptures and benches.  Anyhow, they host free events through out the week.  Last night was a 80's concert.  Oooah..Ooooah.. I knew all the words. 

I met the Steel Magnolias (aka meet up group).  The weather was perfect, it felt like Fall.

The band was good, there were tons of kids running around and showing off their best dance moves.  But best of all there was one brave and unique lady.  The concert was held in an open grassy area surrounded by benches and trees.  Most people brought along a lawn chair a picnic or cooler.  Not this lady, she  went all out.  She set up a table with a fancy lace table cloth, a candle, wine glass, full dinner complete with silverware.  She clearly stood out from the crowd. She sat alone, chair dancing to the music.    Connie, of the magnolias walked up to her and asked what she was doing.  She simply said, last time she was at the event she saw all the kids having fun and she wanted to play too.

It takes a lot of courage to step out from the crowd.  To be yourself.  To not care what the rest of the world thinks.  And to put yourself first.  I applaud all that.  But, still think she was looney.   :-)
