Michael is going to The Gov to see Hilltop Hoods

My god its started!

Triple J has been running a competition to win tickets to see Hilltop Hoods (SA hip hop outfit for those who need to know). I got through once the weekend before last only to be told that as I was not listening to Triple J on time delay I had to call back in half an hour! Ok so I rang back the next morning when I heard the announcement again, this time you had to be under 18 to win tickets, so I put on my thinking cap and rang on Michael's behalf! I won the tickets, and the radio show producer was way impressed that Michael was 8 and wanted to go.

Rob and I then ummed and ahhed about who should go with Michael to the gig and we decided that it was best for Rob to go. Rob for the fun of it entered an online competition of skill to win tickets, where he had to do one of those 25 words or less what you would ask the band. His questions was "What would you say to my 8 year old son who wants to be just like you?"

I phoned Triple J this morning to let them know of who will be accompanying Michael to the gig, and when I spoke to them, they asked my name, and I said Cherie Kitto, the response I got was 'Oh you must be Michael's Mum, that is so fantastic that he is going to the gig" - famous already! LOL

Anway Rob ended up winning his tickets to the show also, so now we are all going. It will be wicked. Its also being filmed for TV too, so look out for us! ;)

He can sport his new funky blonde streaks at the gig - for more info see my blog :)

When I was 8 I didn't even know what a 'gig' was! I think at that stage I was very much into Aha and wanted to meet Morten Harket whose birthday is the same date as mine... But anyway sounds super, trust it'll be a blast and we look forward to hearing all about it!

Its tonight, I am not going (came home early due to almost chucking in my job today due to being overworked, my blog will feature a run down!), so Rob and Michael and some chickies from Rob's work will go tonight.

Michael has actually been to a few gigs - INXS/Jon Stevens (then backstage at Clipsal 500), Grinspoon and now this one. Has also been to a Jon soundcheck in Melbourne.

Due to my Jon connection Michael is of the belief that all artists are easy game! It seems that for him that might be right! LOL
