Blue Rodeo Anyone? Anyone?

So Blue Rodeo is playing at Bluesfest next Tuesday. An outdoor concert, starts at 9pm, definitely over by 11pm. That's the day that Corwin and Clara leave with my parents (more to come about their planned adventures). Perfect timing, because Hubby and I can go and we don't have to worry about a babysitter, right? One caveat - Hubby is not a night owl. And I mean NOT a night owl - he's in bed by 10, maybe 10:15. True, he gets up at 5 (one of those crazy morning people), and is at work by about 6:15. It's just one evening, though. But in the past he has pulled the "I'm tired, can we go?" thing that pisses me off so much. For example, we went to see Jim Cuddy (half of Blue Rodeo) at the Folk Festival when I was very pregnant. It was August, and it was quite warm. It was also a Friday night. We watched the opening acts, and Jim Cuddy's first two songs. Then "I'm tired, can we go?" happened. Excuse me? I'm the very-pregnant-with-twins woman, sitting on the grass on a Friday night. We can sleep in on Saturday morning. But no. We had to go. Ask me if I'm still bitter about this!

When I saw the Bluesfest lineup, I was pretty excited. I love Blue Rodeo. And when I realized that the kids would be gone, Hubby seemed interested, too. Great! I didn't look around to see if anyone else wanted to go. Last week, I mentioned that we should get tickets, and jokingly told Hubby that he would have to sign a waiver:

"I, Hubby, agree to stay until the end of the Blue Rodeo concert. There will be no whining about being tired. I will not complain. I will enjoy the concert. I will go to work a bit later in the morning. And if I reneg on this contract, I will take the bus home (from downtown), because my wonderful wife, Canada, will not leave until all encores have been performed. Nor should I expect her to. Signed _____________"

Guess who's waffling about going to the concert. "Oh, it's late." "I have to get up early." "Isn't Weasley going?" Grrrrr!!!!! Weasley might go, but he isn't sure he can go to Blue Rodeo AND Bonnie Raitt, and I totally understand. Anyone else interested? Anyone?
