The best 10 bucks I've spent in a long time!!!

Two weeks ago I got an email about STP tickets going on sale for 10 bucks if you bought them between that Sat and Sun.  I sent a message to my sister Heather to see if she was interested and she was down so she bought our tickets as soon as they went on sale the next day.  We weren't expecting much since the tickets were so cheap we were just hoping for something in lower bowl.  I called Heather to see where she got our seats and to my surprise she said we got 6th row on the floor.  I couldn't believe they still had seats that close available. She bought four tickets for me, Heather, her friend Nicole, and Scott.  I drove us down and we got there early so we were able to eat at the Training Table before the concert started.  The opening act was already playing when we arrived.  They're a local band called Royal Bliss.  I have heard of them before but didn't know many of their songs. They were pretty good, although no one else I was with was a fan.  We had some interesting people next to us as usual.  I think the winners for most annoying went to the two dudes in front of us.  One guy had a sparkly blue button up shirt on with dark brown dress pants and dress shoes.  I wish I would've got a pic of him but you will just have to visualize it yourself.  Him and his buddy kept doing the fist pump and giving each other double high fives all night long.  Luckily I remembered earplugs this time so I was able to tune most of it out.  Fortunately we were so close to the stage there wasn't too many distractions anyways.  They sang all of their hits and all looked the same as they did the last time they were together.  Scott Weiland was great I was very impressed.  He started out the night with this nice suit on but was shirtless by the end of the night.  If the concert would've went on any longer he might of been down to his skivvies. I was able to hear all of the songs perfectly even with the earplugs and my ears didn't ring at all after (unlike Kanye).  I think I'm going with the earplugs from now on.  Also I got a little camera crazy and took way too many pics and some video.  I posted some of the best ones for those of you who care.

    I wasn't too sure about the bright orange streaks in his hair but he is a rocker so I guess he can get away with it!!!

Looks like fun. I am actually sad that I missed out on this one. Maybe when I am done being a milking cow there will still be some good concerts.

Shelly thanks again for calling me about this concert, I am very glad I didn't miss out. And also your camera is awesome!

I wish I liked the Stone Temple Pilots so I could've gone for $10 bucks... that's a DEAL!! But I don't really know their music... so I can't really say I don't like them. ;o)

Sounds like it was a great concert though. And I'm glad the sound was better for you. ;o) Kanye probably just didn't care... he seems to be like that. ;o)
