Elliott Yamin, Citadel Mall & Long Live the King

Went to Elliott Yamin at the Citadel Mall tonight. Two things. 1) I will never go to another Citadel Mall Tree Lighting Ceremony. 2) I can't wait for March when Elliott will start touring again. He sounds INCREDIBLE.


The Citadel Mall was very unorganized and the sound system was a disaster. It was as though he were singing without a sound system at all.

Of course, David and Katie had to have their usual icees. It's tradition now. They have great stores at the Citadel and I'd like to go back there to shop some day, but never again for the tree lighting ceremony. They have Gymboree Outlet, OshKosh Outlet, Quicksilver, Vans, PacSun, and EDDIE BAUER (where our stroller originated from)! All Outlets.

The crowd of people here were very rude and disrespectful. They were pushing, talking, shoving. Most of the small kids were there to see Demi from the Disney channel.
Elliott looked and sounded great. I just loved hearing him. He sounds so much better live.
At the end of the night, we almost had to bury Eddie. We couldn't get him to cooperate, no matter how hard we tried. He would not fold down and get into the car. Heather took him on, I took him on, Desiree took him on. He would not submit. I hated to lose him. He has been a constant in our adventures and I would miss him dearly. It was bittersweet to say the least. There he lay. Alone and stranded, when Heather got out and gave him one more talking to. Eddie submitted. He folded down and we got him into the trunk. He just wanted to reassure us that he was still in charge. Thankfully, Eddie is still with us. For that, I owe Heather deeply.
