Big Time Rush in Pictures
You guys. YOU GUYS. What is up with so few of you knowing about Big Time Rush?
Fact: If you are the parent of a 6-10 year old girl, Big Time Rush could very well be your new best friend. They play catchy boy band-esque music, but are squeaky clean and not annoying.
That "not annoying" thing is key. I like when bands make my kid go loopy, but I don't have to sacrifice any brain cells for the cause.
There were a whole lot of dads at the concert, including a guy right in front of us who clung to his beer for dear life and another dad who video-taped a lot of the show.
Which I think proves the "not annoying" bit.
Damn if Windows Down didn't somehow wiggle its way into my subconscious and become that catchy little tune I can use to chase Call Me Maybe out of my head.
There is a formula for music-themed TV shows for kids and Big Time Rush fits the formula perfectly. As a parent of a kid who worships the glowy box in our family room and who listens to music pretty much every minute of every day, I appreciate when that formula is done right. It makes my life easier.
Especially when the formula is met with guys who are a little bit too old to be my kids. I'M JUST SAYIN'.
Ahem.
Anyway, it was a good time, in no small part because Alexis loved every single second of the show.

Can't say I'd heard of this phenomenon until you mentioned it. But, not having an elementary-school aged daughter probably accounts for that!
Thank you so much for posting these pictures! I took my 8-year old daughter and while we had pretty decent seats, these pictures are truly awesome and she is going to love seeing these up close snapshots. She has loved BTR ever since they came out, and I was happy she had a wonderful first-concert experience (according to her, "the most magical night ever". I don't mind the squeaky clean image either - BTR actually seems like a decent bunch of young men who know and understand their audience.
OMG I was there too!!!!! we were on the lawn though, so is it ok if I save these pictures to my computer for my daughter to ogle at?? she was a little bummed that we were so far away. i kept trying to tell her she should just be happy to be there, but you know, Kendall :-)
one more thing, did you happen to get any awesome pictures of kendall?? my kid would totally think you're a better mom than me :)
thrilled that yinz had fun. not thrilled that i felt kinda totally old and unhip when you said who you were going to see and i was all who?
