I love live music. I have often said all it takes for a bar to be a good one is some good live music and cold beer. Well the only thing better than that is a concert.
This past weekend we went to the John Mayer Concert with Hunter and Mindy and had a blast. We got a babysitter and planned on eating before hand, so we called each other to coordinate the plans. Originally we were going to go to a restaurant, but because the concert was on a Sunday, and we would be a little pressed for time (we did have to work the next day), we suggested tailgating beforehand. My wife thought this might be a little strange, “I’ve never heard of Tailgating for a John Mayer Concert.”
Blasphemy, I can’t believe my wife could say such a thing. I mean I keep camping chairs in the trunk of my car just incase a tailgate breaks out at the mall. So it was settled, we bought some chicken, chips and beer and my wife made dip and cookies. Off we went to the concert, parked in VIP parking for free (I don’t really know how that happed, we just parked). And lo and behold there actually were a lot of fellow tailgaters. We had a great time eating (except for me forgetting the Dip), and missed the opening acts to enjoy the cheap beer and company.
I consider it a practice run for College Football season. Sort of like a preseason game. We worked out all the kinks (now I know not to forget the dip) and shook the dust (and bugs, one in particular that I hope is no longer residing in Hunter’s Car) our of our equipment. We are ready for the big time…I’m just happy the College football games are on a Saturday…it’s pretty hard to make it to work after a Sunday night concert.
