I went to Lily Allen in concert when she came to Sydney. Unfortunately, it just made me feel old … the fans had a median age of around 12. I even saw what looked like a 7-year old. They came with parents! I imagine this was not too far from a Wiggles concert.

12? 12? seriously?
who allows their twelve year old listen to lily allen lyrics?
and now i feel old too.

My thoughts too but the majority of fans were very young girls. There were a lot with parents. Gangs of 15 year olds in mini skirts and heels (stupid when you have to stand the whole show). Twenty and thirty-somethings were a definite minority. The forty-somethings came with kids.
The 7 year old was in pyjamas!

Big cheesy grin here!
Patti from your generous decision to ‘Pass it Forward’ there are 17 other people on this planet closer to realising their dreams and bettering their own living conditions.
KIVA rocks!

o you are just a big old sweetheart!
notice my extreme discretion with the nature of what exactly makes you so special.
suffice to say, i no longer whistle while i work.
i just let the tunes pour over me, endlessly. hehehe.
anyway, you started the whole ball rolling. don’t make me the hero here!
hey, don’t forget to check your kiva account once a week…sometimes there are repayments there and you won’t get an email for days and days afterwards.
i always figure that the money can be re-circulating instead of languishing, and every day counts, right?
