If Lee Corso can be a Fanilow, you can too!

Well, I got in a few minutes ago and need to go get the kids before too long, so I will write more later. We had a great time. Definitely my favorite Vegas trip! Here is one funny story before I go....

Since I have been telling people that I was going to see Barry Manilow on our trip, I got two reactions:

Men-"My wife loves Barry. I tolerate him because of her."
Our cab driver on route to the concert.."My ex wife made me go to his concert and miss the Superbowl. That is one reason she is my ex wife."

Men, very sarcastically singing, "Ohhhhhh, Mandy!"

Women-"I just love Barry Manilow! I tried to drag my husband out and he wouldn't go so I had to take a friend instead."

"I love Barry! I know every word of every one of his songs!"

Women singing passionately, "Ohhhhhh, Mandy!"

After we sat down in our seats, Rick Patino walked by. I am not a huge basketball fan, but apparently he is a great coach and Bryon was fairly impressed.

Me: "See! Rick Patino is a macho guy and he is watching Barry!"
Bryon: "His wife probably drug him."

A few minutes before the show, in walks Lee Corso with his wife and sits directly in front of me separated by a row!

The show was fabulous and worth every penny. By the time Barry started belting out Copacabana, L.C. was singing it at the top of his lungs and waving his glow stick in the air with as much passion as I was, which, according to Bryon, was almost embarrassingly quite a bit!

So, all you macho men out there, if the face of College Game Day can be a Fanilow, you can too!

Sounds like you had a great time! Can't wait to hear more about it. I've never been to Vegas, but would like to go with John sometime.

I have to admit I had to go to the link to figure out who Lee Corso is. And he doesn't fit the mental image of a Fanilow!
