Can you imagine the Wachovia Center filled to the rafters with adolescent boys? All of them dressed in costumes from the 80s? In glitter? Nah, I didn’t think so.
So why is it fully imaginable to have an entire stadium filled with adolescent girls? Because the Spice Girls were playing in Philly.
Last night Matt and I, along with Sarah and Lydia, went to see the Spice Girls. We sat in the Wachovia box. Amazingly, there weren’t many people sitting. In fact, for the entire concert, girls stood and sang every song. It’s funny, because Matt said the boobs-to-balls ratio in the place was 99-to-1. It might have been more than that. In an entire section by us we could only count 3 guys. That’s it.
What a great show. Sure, they’re not the cool kids indie band that some like, but they’re a cultural phenomenon. And the only concert I’ve seen that equaled that kind of audience participation was Bruce Springsteen at the Vet a few years ago. The show was all song and lights. And the Spice Girls interacted with each other and the audience in a really fun way.
Go ahead. Poke fun. But we had fun. And isn’t that what entertainment is all about?

Well, like I always say,
“Too much of something is bad enough
But something’s coming over me to make me wonder if
Too much of nothing is just as tough”

I honestly didn’t know the Spice Girls were still together. Glad you had fun Frank.

Lydia says… “It was awesome!”
She wore her Spice Girls T-shirt continuously until this morning… and I had insist she change. She is still giddy about the show.
I liked it too. Lots. It was a really fantastic production. Shiny, happy people.
The sound of a stadium full of girls screaming is something I won’t ever forget.

You’ll find me where it is a wall to wall sausage fest.

LOL, Pinky Bear. Is there a Spice Girls equivalent for boys? The Sausage Boys?
Sarah, it was really fun.
Dave, too funny. It was a reunion tour. Just to get some money. They made it worthwhile.
Pax, really great saying. Can I borrow that?
