Let me start off by saying I'm a huge Tim McGraw fan. I've been to countless concerts. Many up close and personal. These were the worst seats I've had in years. My concert neighbors were not friendly.
Here's my little "review of the nights events":
The weather held up for the Tim concert yesterday. That was about the only good thing (well besides actually seeing and hearing Tim of course). I swear in all the yrs I've gone to his concert this by far was the absolute worst; not because of him. First of all the venue stinks. It has the absolute worst parking lot ever. The sound was awful. It wasn't just LOUD it was unaudiable. Most of the words were muffled. Thank goodness I knows the lyrics/music. There were 4 stuck up party girls beside me. The girl right beside me was a hefty girl. Her one leg was equivalent to both of mine. When she did sit she was also in my sit. Not pleasant. She wore her purse on her shoulder and kept whacking me with it as she tried to dance all the while moving her arms around in my tiny space. The man beside me arrived late missing the opening acts. He talked on his cell for most of the show each time to answer or get it out of his shorts pocket he'd lean into me. He also had a huge flatulence problem. I swear I almost vomitted. Fart man also spilled his beer. It went all over my purse. I was not thrilled. There was a homosexual couple in front of me. They sat most of the show which I guess was a good thing because then I could see. I had horrible seats this show. The one man kept looking at his watch like is it over yet? If you're that bored and miserable stay home. The couple beside them; the guy was such a jerk. He toked up right in front of everyone. At first I wasn't sure but then I saw a plume of smoke and smelt it. Rude! Usually I can make friends with the people around me. Not so with this group. I swear I was around the worst group of drunken rednecks. Then there was the other couple a few rows ahead. They stood and danced if thats what you want to call it the entire night. He kept picking the girl up and holding her up in the air. They kissed hard core. He had his hands all over her most of the night. Get a room!! I couldn't find my friends I usually meet at the show. Bummer. Actually I ran into one. He was drunk by the time I found him. His face was red as were his eyes. I thought he had a sunburn. Apparently he had an allergic reaction to the beer he was drinking. Did that stop him from drinking? Of course not. When the show was over I couldn't find my car. There were a few moments when I honestly thought it was stolen and a wave of panic went through me. Finally I found my car. I got to it at 11:20. At 12:00 I was finally pulling out of the venues parking lot. Oh I almost forgot that on the way to the concert there was a major accident causing a huge traffic jam. The road was closed. Police redirected traffic. As I pulled onto the exit ramp to get onto Rt. 66 I saw cars coming at me in the emergeny lane. I was like HUH? So I quickly took that que and cut across the median grass and got back on the road and took a side road to get onto 66 further down. The trip that normally should have taken about 45 minutes was 1.5 hr long. Ok so I never ate before the show. I didn't have time and didn't feel like it. I figured I'd grab something at McDonald's drive-thru on the way home. So I pull into McDonalds complete famished and thirsty. No one is at the window. It was closed. UGH! Apparently they close at 12:30 on Sundays and I got there at 12:38. OMG I was so irritated. So I had a couple pretzels and a gatorade before bed. Not exactly filling. When I finally laid down it was 1:00 am. My ears were ringing. I've had close seats and been right on the speaker and never had ear problems before. It took me awhile to doze off. I swear when my alarm went off at 5:30 this morning I didn't want to wake up.
