Now I like to think of myself as a mexican-food-connoisseur since I frequent the mexican joints around the KC area & you all know my favorite is Rudy's so I compare all to this place. Let me just say that Los Tules has nothing on Rudy's! The margaritas were good but expensive. The chips were hot, but greasy. The salsa was just ok. The food came out & looked good but tasted mediocre. I ordered softshell chix tacos w/rice & beans - my usual. The shredded chix was quite good, but my shells were made of corn not flour tortillas & they were teeny tiny & soggy. The beans were dry & the rice was so-so. It wasn't the worst I ever had but it definitely wasn't Rudy's. The other girls agreed that it was good but they weren't "impressed". Hey, at least the 'rita's & the company was good :)Next we made our way downtown to the Sprint Center for the Ludacris/Black Eyed Peas concert. It unfortunately was raining & lucky for Amy & I we had umbrellas. Poor Mel did not so we both got quite the chuckle when she unwrapped her scarf & wrapped it around her head for our walk to the Sprint Center.
Once in, we grabbed another beverage & took our seat. We sat on the lower level & were a bit away from the stage but had a good view regardless. To my surprise, my friend HK & her date got tickets last minute so they were there & we all went down to sit with them for awhile as they had better seats than us. We of course had to take a few pics: 
The concert started with the group LMFAO who has been featured on MTV's Spring Break & Road Rules. I really liked them & thought their music had a good beat. We all agreed the song titles were quite interesting. For example: I'm in Miami Bitch, Shots & I Am Not a W***e just to name a few. I couldn't help but think the entire time they played how their music would be great to run on the treadmill to!? Note to self: download some LMFAO to the iPod when I get home.
Next up was Ludacris & he was AWESOME! He really got the crowd pumped up & ready for the Black Eyed Peas! He opened up with "Money Maker" & sang all his popular songs including: Cadillac Grills, Saturday, Roll Out, Yeah, One More Drink & How Low! I definitely shook my "money maker" the entire time he was on stage :)About half-way through Ludacris, we got booted when the other concert-goers showed up to claim their seats so we headed back to our original seats - grabbing a bathroom break & another beverage along the way.
Next up was the Black Eyed Peas & this group did NOT disappoint! The stage set-up was awesome, the singing was awesome & the entertainment value & laser show during the evening was top-notch. They opened with "Let's Get It Started" & sang all their popular songs throughout the evening as well as a few new ones. Fergie Ferg had a 15 min window where she sang her solo songs like "Fergalicious", "Glamorous Life" & "Big Girls Don't Cry". 
Will.I.Am also had a 15 min solo act where he sang his hit "In The Ayer" as well as rocked the house as a DJ spinning old school tunes. It was WAY cool & he got the entire place jumpin! 
They ended the evening singing "I Got A Feeling" and left the crowd wanting more. 
It was an awesome concert & I am SO glad Mel talked me into going with her.
Thanks Mel for asking me to be your concert buddy & for a super fun evening! Unfortunately I have decided that hooker heels, standing all night dancing in them & one too many beers does NOT do this body good. For some reason I thought I could hang like I was 21!? Um, not so much....LOL
