Growing up, my dad worked the third shift and slept most of the day, so we didn't spend a ton of time together, but one day, when I was in 7th grade, I came home from school and announced that I found out the Smashing Pumpkins were coming to town and could we please, please, please go because the opening band was Garbage and they were my all-time favorite and please, please, please could we go?
I don't really know why I asked, because I know the answer would be a flat-out no from my mom, who wouldn't be into driving an hour away at night to some rock concert where the music would make her ears bleed. And my dad was always exhausted and rarely got time off but to my surprise, he said, "Yeah. Let's go!"
And so we did. Just me and my dad. We drove there with the music blasting and arrived with lots of time to spare, so we walked around the stadium and got candy and soda. I bought a t-shirt with all the tour dates on the back and pretty much lived in that shirt for the next year.
It was a so much fun, and is one of my favorite memories of just me and my dad.
We're having a little giveaway in honor of all the dads, and all the single moms, grandmas, grandpas and others out there who are being the dads in someone's life. You guys are the best.
