How to enjoy a Willie Nelson concert:

Here's how you enjoy a Willie Nelson concert: 


Step one: Get into the back seat of your mother-in-law's car....
....it's best if your squished between your mother-in-law and grandma-in-law.

Second: Tell your husband, who is co-piloting for his dad, to "GET ALONG LITTLE DOGGIES!" then say ''C'MON LET'S GET THIS ROAD ON THE SHOW" and finally, "PULL INTO THE NEXT GAS STATION I HAVE TO PEE!!" and head on down the road: 
I think my F-I-L, Jeff, is saying: "Is she gonna sing the whole way there?!"
Next up, make sure you have Puh-lenty of energy for the concert, this is where the delicious food of Ebbet's Field comes in: 
I had pizza. Weird, right?!

When your belly is full of good food and a little bit of Bud Light, make your way to the concert and find your seat: 
The in-laws were all mighty impressed, and they were doing the next important step in enjoying a Willie Nelson concert.....make sure you can see the stage:
Mission: Accomplished.

Now be sure to take a pre-concert pictures, 
 and double make sure you take one of your husband's mom and grandma.
 this way you can document how all your faces looked BEFORE you rocked out to a living legend singing his classic tunes.

When the lights dim and the crowd cheers, be sure to get a picture of Willie taking his place on the stage because he's 80; and let's be honest, who knows how many concerts he's got left!
That bright shiny light is Willie, singing his heart out.
 Next, take a million pictures trying to get a good one of Willie. Then yell at yourself for not bringing a decent camera, and swear you'll never rely on your stupid iphone camera again: 
Hey Willie! There ya are!
Finally, on your way out of the concert -after you've properly rocked out to Willie Nelson and his brilliant catalog of songs- grab a random passer by and say: HEY! Take our picture!

And that's how you do it, folks.
 Wearing a Hank Williams shirt optional. Having a good time? NOT optional.
