Poison'd

What better way to celebrate the first day of 50 degree weather in Minnesota, than to go to a local bar to see a Bret Michael's show?!  Yes, you read that right.  Kyle and I dragged our friends, Brent and Christine, to see Bret Michael's in concert.  He was playing at a bar only 15 minutes from our house - how could we pass that up?!

Here's our friend Brent, warming up for the show with his girlfriend, Paisley.  Seriously, I think she's in love.  Brent would like us to point out that the mullet is just part of the concert attire for the night ... he doesn't normally look this redneck ... well ... close, but not quite.  I mean, not everyone can pull off a mullet quite like he did so he must have some "inner-redneck" in him somewhere.

Here are the boys ... rockin' out at the show ...

... and the girls rockin' out at the show ...

... a little more of the mayhem ...

... and here's Mr. Michael's himself ... the one in the cowboy hat and muscle shirt ... hot ...

The show was actually really entertaining.  The opening band was decent and Bret didn't skip a beat rocking out on stage.  I can't promise we'll race out and buy tickets to the Poison reunion tour this summer (although, stranger things have happened) but I know we'll catch some more live music at the Medina Ballroom.  Who needs downtown when we have townie bars and entertainment like this right at our doorstep?!  I'm sold on this country livin' thing!  (as long as I'm no more than 20 minutes from a Target and a movie theater ... but that's for another blog post)
