She came out in a bra and boy underwear set, which was a little less clothing than I was wanting, but it’s Mariah! She preformed a good mix of her new and oldies including, “Vision of Love”, “Dream lover”, “Fantasy”, “Hero”, “Honey”, “Heartbreaker”, “I’ll be There”, and all of the singles off her latest album. She preformed on a large stage, and a stage in the middle of the crowd. She had I think four costume changes, with each outfit, she was more covered up. During her costume changes she had DJ Clue and pal mix some records. It made me feel really out of it; besides “Poison” I really had not heard of any the other songs. Yikes! I feel like I’m not the demo. Also Mario (another person who could fall on me and I would have no clue who he was) made a guest appearance, and sang “One Sweet Day” with Mariah. My friend Niki, went crazy. She closed with “We belong Together.” I had a blast. Mariah was my favorite artist from about 8-13. While I’m not as die hard now, I’m glad that I got to see her. If she’s heading to a town near you, I totally suggest seeing her.
Be aware, they check for cameras. The first time I tried to go in, they made me get rid of my camera, but I went in a different entrance and was able to bring it in.
Sorry, this was the only picture I took of Sean Paul

Braves Update:
The Bravos closed out their series with Washington Nationals with a 13-6 win. (This coming a day after John Smoltz pitched another fantastic game allowing only one run.) Oscar Villarreal, normally a relief pitcher, pitched 3 innings giving up four runs, before being taken out of the game. Lance Cormier, who was called up from AAA, pitched three innings giving up 2 runs, and Macay McBride got the win going two scoreless innings. The Braves offense was awesome with Chipper Jones, Jeff Francoeur, and Andruw Jones all hitting homeruns. Adam LaRoche drove in four runs and Brian McCann went 4-5. The Braves have today off and will close up their home stand going against the San Francisco Giants, Tuesday-Thursday before heading to Philly, where I’ll be stalking, I mean watching the game on Saturday!
Games from .500: 7
Games behind Cincinnati Reds: 5
Games behind New York Mets: 18.5
NASCAR Update:
NASCAR was in Thunder Valley this weekend with three night races, starting Wednesday and continuing Friday and Saturday. It was an all Roush weekend as Mark Martin won the Truck Race and Matt Kenseth swept the Busch and Cup races. I was watching the Cup race, and I thought that it was a tad bit boring, missing the usual Bristol spice, but I thought, maybe it’s just me. Well it wasn’t. Other people who reviewed the race had a similar opinion. Chase contenders littered the top ten, which included Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Burton, and Jimmie Johnson. Kasey Kahne, who finished 12th, lost 51 points to new tenth place chaser, Mark Martin.
