I went to the Depeche Mode concert in KC, MO tonite. What a mess!

Everything leading up to the concert was only a little messy. I got to KC at 6:20pm for graduation clothes shopping and the stores closed at 7pm so I was in a big hurry. I went straight for Ann Taylor very determined to find something. The girls there were very helpful and I did get something. If I had more time I'm sure I would have tried on more but oh well. The pants I got are size 10 which was a bit big, and there's no belt loops so you can't hold them tighter with a belt. The 8s were okay but a little small. I wanted to take into account that I'm fully bloated, period ready to emerge, and also I'm a little out of shape and these 10s will probably fall off me soon and be useless, a waste of $98 but I had to get the best size for this Fiday. The top I tried was a 10 but the girl said very big on me which is weird because it should have fit fine or even been too small. The boobs always get me. She had me try a 6 and an 8 and then even had me try a 4. The 4 fit fine too but I decided to go with the 6. Man does that shirt run big! I also got a pair of shoes there too but I'm a little nervous walking across the stage in graduation in them since they're open back, hope they don't fall off. So I got out of there by 7:10, I made great time I think. Now I needed to eat. Hadn't eaten anything at all yet that day. I was walking around the Plaza but I don't know where stuff is so I was wasting lots of time when I came across California Pizza Kitchen. It was perfect! I sat at the bar w/ a big TV showing Yanks vs. Boston which was a big surprise to me. Had a margarita, Thai salad, a couple Yankee homers and I was good to go. Finally found the Starlight Theater, the outdoor place the concert was at. I had to stop and ask some people but it was okay. Went straight to the bathroom thinking I still had time when I heard the intro to DM's first song. I finished peeing and ran out of the bathroom screaming, sorry I didn't have time to wash the hands. Had no clue where my seat was so I just stood kinda off to the side w/ the awful smokers but the view was fine and they were letting us stand there and really I don't know where my seat was. It was a packed house but I don't know if it was because it was outside or what but the crowd didn't seem that excited. Anyway they get to about the 6th song, Stripped, and when it's Dave's time to start singing he does but then all of a sudden he just stops everything and says they have to start it over. So they completely stop and then start from the beginning and do the song through. It was real strange. Never seen that happen before. Then Dave leaves for Martin's songs, which is usual. But after I think Martin's first, a roadie guy or something comes out and says stuff I couldn't really hear but about technical difficulites or something and I don't know what was up with Dave. They might have said another time that there was something wrong with him because he never came back on stage again. Martin just stood up there singing his songs and everyone was chattering and complaining that they didn't come to see this guy. I don't think they even knew who he was, that he wrote 99% of the songs and sang 25% of them or whatever. It sucked. So after Martin sang a few they said the rest of the show was cancelled and that was it. I think w/ Martin's filler it was still less than an hour. I wasn't so mad because I saw an incredible show in Dec. in Atlantic City and for this show tonite I just drove a couple hours. If I would have flown here to see them I'd be very upset. So I don't know what the hell happened but I'm interested to see what they post tomorrow on their website. They're supposed to play in Chicago tomorrow. I think people were expecting refunds too.
