For Aaron's birthday this year, I bought him tickets to go see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Sandy Amphitheatre. BBVD is a swing band from Ventura County where Aaron grew up. They've been together for about 15 years and Aaron has been a huge fan since day one. Tickets to the concert was his birthday present request this year. We booked our favorite babysitter and made plans to go to dinner and the concert. We had a fun evening and really enjoyed seeing the band play again. They put on a GREAT show! After the show, we stuck around hoping to get a picture or two with the band. Our persistence paid off and we were invited backstage by one of the band members (Karl Hunter). We chatted with the guys like we were old friends and snapped a couple quick photos. They were anxious to leave and had already changed out of their suits. Aaron lucked out with a very happy birthday present!
Back Row L to R: Scotty Morris, Joshua Levy, Glen Marhevka, Alex Henderson, Andy Rowley, Tony Bonsera , Dirk Shumaker, Kurt Sodergren, Karl Hunter

Heather, Aaron, & Karl Hunter (Saxophone/Clarinet Player)
Here are two really short video clips of them playing. (We probably shouldn't have been recording, but couldn't resist sharing our fun!)
Still no baby as of yet. Luckily the Sandy Amphitheatre is located right across the street from the hospital where I will deliver the baby. Baby really enjoyed the drum solo and remained quite active through most of the show. Aaron's hoping she'll be a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy fan too!

What a great birthday present! BBVD was the band playing at our HS Prom at good old Buena! It was so much fun to dance too. So fun you got to meet them too. Happy Birthday Aaron.
That is awesome! Blaine will be so jealous!!! We saw them at the Ventura Fair Grounds a few years ago. Gotta love BBVD, especially if you are from Ventura County!
