Ever since the trip to the Scera theater to watch Pride and Prejudice the musical (along with the lesbian lovers and other side shows the musical aided in providing) we have been planning to attend tonight's Boyz II Men concert. We have listened to their II CD over and over... or at least some of their songs over and over and over and over. And we made t-shirts, complete with Rhinestones. So tonight, we were ready... and we enjoyed almost every minute of it. Or would have, had we been able to see the stage!
Recipe for the best night ever:
1. 1 Grassy knoll
2. 1 beautiful, cloudless night with a sky full of stars
3. 6 large Polynesian men
4. the Polynesians' amazon women (some were white...still HUGE)
5. 2 Awesome roommates
6. 1 HOT BYU basketball player -his girlfriend
7. BOYZ II MEN!!!!
8. frozen yogurt
We went to the concert with high expectations. Arriving at 6:55 p.m. when the concert was supposed to start at 8:00 p.m. We walked in and the blanketed area was already full. Content to sit at the top of the hill overlooking the rest of the area and stage, we entertained ourselves by taking pictures.
Our fun was disrupted when some guy came with his little blanket and tried to squeeze into a almost non-existent spot, claiming to be "desperate" for a place to sit (the place was packed and it was still forty-five minutes until start time) in front of the group of Polynesian women (so called because their dates/husbands were Polys, not necessarily because they were...all were Amazon women, though) to which they said they would scoot their blanket forward and he could place his blanket in front of us. While it was just him, we were reluctant but willing to "cut" in front of us... That is, until he started listening to our conversations and making faces at us. He offered to take some of our pictures, to which we declined.
When the show started, we were treated to a talent show of some sort. Most the acts were decent, but nothing too spectacular. Until an 11-year old got up and started singing I Will Always Love You. I've seen so many people butcher this song on American Idol, that I thought, there is no way this girl can pull it off. And yet, I was proven wrong! This girl nailed it. Definitely winner, hands down. She was amazing, and 11.
The cutter's friends showed up... more white Amazons. I can't believe how big these women are. I didn't know big women existed in Provo. They were fat. They were stalky. And tall. HUGE women, and blocking our view to the stage. I always thought that Provo was full of super skinny barbie types, with their bleach blonde, teased hair and perfect nails and...you know the type. But these girls were like nothing I'd ever seen. I was suddenly very pissed at the man and his "desperate" act. How could he have ever expected to squeeze between the Polynesians and the rest of the crowd? His women-folk were just as big!
FINALLY after waiting forever, Boyz II Men came out! Even minus one member of the group, they are amazing. Velvet and silky R&B voices, and so incredibly smooth. From what we could see of them, little glimpses here and there through heads and elbows and giant Polynesians, they were still hot! They sounded great. They were awesome.
Since we couldn't watch our Boyz the whole time, we watched the next best thing... the BYU baksetball played that had to have been 7' tall, and georgeous to boot. I thought Ashley was going to jump his bones, but his girlfriend eventually joined him. Making it uncomfortable to watch him... luckily we had found an opening where we could see more glimpses.
A few more Polynesian guys came in late and instead of trying to maneuver through Desperate boy and his group to meet up with the other Polys, they stood next to us awhile. I was standing on my tippy-toes and jumping trying to see over the mountain of women and the guy turned to me and said, "Hey, you can sit on his shoulders," pointing to his friend. I looked over, tipped my head all the way back and laughed out loud. This guy was 8' tall, HUGE! And cute. And HUGE! He towered over everyone! His friend disappeared and the giant Polynesian stood videotaping the concert, I watched from his camera for a few minutes... I couldn't believe how big he was. It was awesome.
Between the tall Polynesians and the sexy, deep voice of one of the Boyz II Men guys, I was near to swooning every ten minutes!
When they sang the Momma song, they made everyone get out their cell phones and call their mothers to dedicate it to them... it was pretty cute. But my mom was asleep. So we listened to Becca sing to her mom.
After the concert, we went to Hello Yogurt. Only the best Yogurt shop on the planet! It was so delicious. There are like six different flavors (Cheesecake, Chocolate, Strawberry, Peach, Pecan, and tart) and then you pick whatever you want to put on top and then pay by weight. It was SO YUMMY!
Overall, best night ever.
