First up is the annual tradition of going to the Melt-a-Center for the sing-a-long. There just isn't anything like sitting in an arena and singing your heart out with a couple thousand people. Last year we didn't go because of the lovely inversion blahs but I made a special effort to go this year (or should I say last year?) It was a blast and even Ira was singing! This year's special guest was Collin Raye.
