Why Did It Take Me Two Weeks To Write This Post?

I truely hated for this night to end...and now that I am bloggin about it..I guess it really did end.
"Texas Tunes In To Africa" at Nutty Brown Cafe
March 23, 2011
"Texas Tunes Into Africa".
We enjoyed an amazing evening that was musically diverse and energetic as a host of top-shelf Central Texas musicians joined The African Children's Choir in a benefit concert under the stars.
A good friend of mine is EVEN a BIGGER Friday Night Lights fan than I am...
(and YES that is possible...she knows everyone's scoop!!)
Kim asked me if I was interested in going with her to T
he Aftican Children's Choir Benefit Concert
hosted by Connie Britton and Taylor Kitsch
from the cast of NBC's locally filmed "Friday Night Lights"
Well...."YES, KIM!"
We already have it on the calendar for next year, too!
First we enjoyed a nice meal.....and listened to music and then the fun began!
The children has beautiful voices...and were so much fun to watch...
I could have taken every last one of the home with me!!
PRECIOUS ANGELS...for sure!
Such amazing children.....brought tears to our eyes.

Some of our favorite photos of the night...:)
Gilbert...an Austin Icon...read about him and his story here...Gilbert's Gazelles
The venue...not too terribly crowded..that made it so nice!!
More pictures of the kids....
The Hosts.....FNL's Taylor Kitsch and Connie Britton
"Tim Riggins" and "Tami Taylor" ~ Coach Taylor's Wife
Taylor and Connie in the audience watching the children perform.
We spotted Brad Leland in the crowd...later he helped with the live auction!
"Buddy Garrity"
As the night got darker...the excitement got BETTER....
 The Live Auction
Taylor really  liked this guitar ...it was signed by many local musicians.
Loved this framed photo that was in the live auction!!
 Kim and I had our pictures taken with "Tim Riggins" ~ Taylor Kitsch
What a CUTIE!!
Too bad..my mouth was open...talking again!!?!?
 I "heart" Kyle Chandler ~ "Coach Eric Taylor"
I MEAN really XOXOX him!!
 We thought Brad Leland ~ "Buddy Garrity" was pretty special, too!
So SWEET!!
Connie Britton ~ "Tami Taylor"
She is just beautiful!!
We had a wonderful evening at Nutty Brown....we
can't stop talking about it!!!

I have to hurry out this evening and buy Season 5 ~ the final season
of Friday Night Lights!!
It came out today!!!
The FINAL SEASON....pretty darn sad!! :(

OMG! These are amazing!
And you're sooo lucky you got to meet them all.
I'd love it if you'd brag a little more about Taylor Kitsch. Was he sweet? Did he smell like heaven? lol
