Alright so we're back from our big Def Leppard weekend. Now, two things.... one, Melisa was the one who told me Steve Earle was opening for them. So, you know, I told everyone and their damn dog. Guess what? He didn't open..... and two, this one really got to me, you know when you're at a big concert venue and you're hangin' out in the lobby cuz you need a corn dog (I can tell, burhur), then all of a sudden you hear one of your favorite bands start playing. Now its muffled mind you, but you still can tell its them. Well, imagine hauling ass back to your seat ready to rock and you notice the sound didnt change from the outside. Yes it seems the forgot to turn on the "upper level" speakers where our seats were. This arena, NextStage in Grand Prarie, only seats a little over 6000. So, basically any seat is pretty damn good cuz its so small. But the sound... the sound.... sucks. We even stopped at a traveler info center to find out some places to eat and told the people workin' we were there for the concert and all they went on about were the acoustics of the place and how good they were. So I will now tell people about the acoustics and the lack there of. About three songs before the end of the enitre show I guess someone decided to turn on all the speakers so we rocked out for a good 15 minutes or so. All in all we had fun. The tailgating was a blast (even met a chick with a Def Leppard tattoo) and we partied with a radio station down there. 93.3 The Bone is now one of my favs down there.Thats about all I got for now...
