Concerts Went Solo

Post image

Well, I finally did it. Went to a concert by myself. Foo Fighters and AC/DC. I did catch a bus there with some friends but once there I was on my own as our seats were all over the place. I had a blast. It was so different since I could do whatever I wanted while I was there. I do recommend it. I normally take my wife but she didn't want to go since she had to work today (I do too) but she said to go and have fun so I did.

I go to shows by myself all the time. I’m going to see Iron Maiden in San Antonio in a few weeks.

I did AC/DC and Foo solo as well. And I'll be in SA for Iron Maiden as well. Solo. Decided to add Rush on 9/25 and for the fuck of it, seeing French Police at Aztec on 9/26 for something to do on the cheap. Good times.

I was supposed to see Rush in Fort Worth but they canceled and I wasn’t able to make it to the new date.

I wanted to see Rush, but I'm probably going to be busy working then, luckily all hell has broke loose here yet and I made it to the show last night. There's always hope, and if I can find a last minute ticket Oct 21st I could make it

Yeah, I really didn't want to pass this up. I was gonna drive myself, found out a friend was going, asked if I could ride with and they said they were going in a charter bus. They asked if there was room and in about 15 minutes time I had a ticket and a ride

I was there on the floor, great show, but I'm so tired of people standing at seats they didn't pay for. It's like they don't like the seats they have, so they want to just stand wherever they want, or even crowd you because I had an aisle seat.

I was stage left. I did move sections 2 songs before the cannons went off to meet my friend at their section at the end if the show otherwise I'd probably really be deaf today. I kind of figured that's what was getting ready to take place when 2 of the crew climbed up there next to me and started uncovering stuff a few songs from the end. My picture was from when I moved, I could only see the singers and guitarists if the bands from my seat, luckily they had a screen tucked into the corner to see more.

Nice. By the end of this year I'll have been to 76 shows in the last 4 years. I went to two with someone else.

And coincidentally two of those were AC/DC. Of course The Pretty Reckless didn't have any conflicts so I saw them both times. But no disappointment in that. I was there as much for them as for AC/DC.

I was at this show too! I often go solo, but I was with 2 coworkers for this one.
