Taylor Swift

Yesterday we went to a Taylor Swift concert in Nashville.  However, this was unlike a regular concert in that it was actually her last dress rehearsal before going out on tour.  She opened up her rehearsal to benefit the victims of the tornadoes that came through the South last month.  All the ticket sales and merchandise sales went directly to those affected by the storms.  I think she said towards the end of the show that $750,000 were raise and they hadn't finished tallying yet.  How awesome is that?!

The only drawback to the whole evening was that we parked in an enclosed parking garage.  When all of the concert-goers returned to their cars and got ready to leave, we realized someone had locked the gates in which to exit.  Therefore, everyone had the cars turned on and the exhaust running- inside a closed building.  The fumes were horrendous and very few people turned off their cars.  It took about 2 hours for someone to come and unlock the gate so we could all leave.  It was a very late night.
