TOTO!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!! Can't believe the day is finally here and I am seeing Toto live in Korea on their very last show of their two year world tour!!  It's their last planned show indefinitely!  While planning this trip to Seoul, I reached out to a fellow TBer that I knew was stationed in Seoul.  I told him why I was coming out there and he went and checked out Toto's website and music and ended up liking them so much, he bought tickets to the show as well!  How cool is that?!?! 

I've had several people ask me who Toto is or why I like them so much.  Most people know who they are, but may not recognize the band name right off the bat.  My parents listened to them when I was young and I sorta just grew up on their music.  Two of their very popular songs were Rosanna and Africa.

....which in fact, I think there's a horrible Geico commercial right now making light of the Rosanna song!!  Bad Geico! HA HA HA

Anyways, I was to meet up with Josh before the show if possible to say hi at least!! LOL.  I was worried it might be hard to find each other so I emailed him our seat numbers so he could track us down.  There was a HUGE line to get in the venue and as I started to check out the people in attendance, I quickly figured out it would not be too hard to spot each other.  Before the show started, I went to restroom and Scott wandered around the lobby. When I came out of the restroom, Scott had found Josh already so we got to talk a little and goof off before the show!

I started looking around the theatre after we got inside and noticed 98% of the show attendees were Korean and there was only about 8 of us were weren't.

  I am not sure why I was suprised but I just assumed with the US military presence in Korea, there might've been people off the bases.   I have to say though - this was without a doubt the best concert and the best crowd ever!  Everyone in that house stood up the minute they came on stage and never sat down again!  These were die hard fans and they knew every word to every song the guys played.  It made the whole experience even more rewarding for me because I realized how lucky I was to see this final concert with such amazing and enthustiac fans!

Anyways, I've included the pics and an entry here because it is the reason for my entire Seoul trip but I will be putting the full report of the show and all the craziness on my devoted Toto blog.

....In Search of Toto Euphoria!  Whoo hoo!  

Let's just say this...it was the best show ever for me, I got to hang out with them for a bit after the show, AND, I ended up with a special birthday wish from Lee Sklar and he did one of his infamous mashcasts of me to put on their website, complete with birthday wishes from the band!! Here is a link to my 5 seconds of fame on the Toto Network:  http://www.totonetwork.com/node/5688481  I look like dork but who cares...I was on the stage after the concert!! YEAH!!!

OMG!!  Beyond dreams coming true....it was the best night of my life!!
