Oh The Choices!

So The Dad says to me the other day he "saw" that Bon Jovi is playing at the MGM in "April or May" and that he looked into ticket prices.  My heart immediately skipped a beat because though I love, love love love - Darius Rucker both as Darius Rucker the country artist, golfer, fantasy football player extraordinaire and as part of Hootie & The Blowfish - and have yet to see a bad performance by the guy, my one and only time seeing JBJ, at the MGM in March of '09 goes down as simply one of THE best concerts ever witnessed by anyone - of all time.  

Well...  I mean.  You know.  But it was.

The guys, nearing or just at 50 - rocked that crowd.  It was a concert of historical proportions.  The Dad and I didn't eat before leaving our hotel to meet up with my sister-wife on the North Side, the lovely Robin Fiorillo - but also my crass, sarcastic, foul mouthed (not that Robin isn't these lovely attributes too) pal - Pat, so that made for an interesting night fo' sho'... and it poured rain so walking back to our hotel (across the street - which if you've WALKED the strip, you know across the street is near a mile!).

I think of him (Pat) often... almost as often as I think about Whitney.  Houston, that is.  And I know he'd be thrilled to know I lump them into the same area of my brain.  And I think of him now - after I've just previewed the concert lineups in Vegas and sent the following text to a random group of names in  my phone:

Oh me oh my... Looking at upcoming concerts

in Vegas.  Maroon 5 is playing March 16 which,

the weather will be nice, we will be just shy

of "50 days until Cabo 2013" (ish), but then I keep

looking and I see DEF LEPPARD playing down there

several dates in March - so then I'm like "holy moley"...

But I keep going down the list and I see

BON FRICKIN JOVI on April 20th at MGM

which was out and out one of my 

favorite concerts EVER (sorry Darius).  I wouldn't

mind seeing The Bieb on June 28th but that's

Hoopfest and I will never miss Hoopfest.  So... if

YOU were going to sunny, warm, get the heck

away from gray, cold, Snowkane - which concert

would you pick?

So far - I've gotten 1 vote for Maroon 5 and 1 for Def Leppard.  Ohhhhh Adam Levine is super duper hard to pass up.  This is a bit like torture.  I wonder if there's a way to do both?  Hmmmm.  I know what Pat would say.  Robin too, for that matter...  but I'm struggling here.

Who would you pick?
