My childhood friends

As a child, I was a "keep to myself" type of kid. I had few friends but the biggest one was the television. It gave me an outlet to be who I am and discover what I like. I love the fact that you had different shows from different eras in syndication. It gave me a variety of style to play around with. It also gave me a great appreciation of the history of television. One of the shows I discovered through that time was The Monkees. It was a show that I connected to right away. I was silly, goofy and had heart, just like me. I bonded to with each member of the band and the music that played throughout each episodes. Still, to this day, I have a special spot in my heart for the Monkees. I remember how sad I was when I found out that Davy Jones had passed away. It was like I lost a best friend. I had a chance to see them in concert before he passed and couldn't go. When I found out the Monkees (with the three remaining members) was touring and coming to town, I was so excited. It was a childhood dream come true. I got to meet Mickey Dolenz before at MegaCon(a comic book/scifi/anime convention) in Orlando and he was pretty awesome. Now, I would be able to see the group live. When I got to the concert, it reminded me of a comic book convention. There was so many different people from different walks of life there united with a common bond. I met some very cool people, from the merchant counter to outside the concert hall. There was these two sisters that was there that had brought Monkees bobble heads to get signed. They got Davy to sign it from the concert before. I was so awesome when they let me take a picture with the bobble heads. It's my official picture with the band. The concert was great. The fact that the songs that I have been singing forever I get to see perform on stage was a great thrill to me. It got to see the one video that I always thought was amazing. It was a number from the movie Head where Davy was dancing with Toni Basil. I thought that segment was one of the best edited scenes I've ever seen. I got to sit next to one guy during the concert who was there with his wife(both were cool). The group brought an audience member on stage and announced that the song Daydream Believer belongs to the audience to sing. When everyone in the audience sung the song, it was electricity in the air. It was so emotional that both me and the husband sitting next to me both cried. I will always remember that moment and that night. We were too busy singing to put anybody down.
