I'm surprised that they haven't played any new songs yet.

For those wondering, the set wasn't cut short, they played everything on their setlist.

Laliber and Hammer,
I was right near ya! I was the one with the TTH Kings Jersey as well as a neon green hat! Did the speakers to your right bug you much? My ear was shot for the next 2 days....

Yes, you literally were right beside me at least for a little bit. I was wearing my black World Container hoodie and red Senators hat. To answer your question though mikethegoalie32... It didn't bother my ears at all, but i'm guessing they were probably damaged some over the years in my previous car (SPL level was measured at 144db, whereas a typical rock concert is around 110db near the speakers)

das_hips I believe ended up right beside us aswell, unless he went behind us during his pleas for Julia lol.

robert goulet, you're not actually in any of my video's, but I believe I may have seen you at the show... Tall guy with red shirt and was the white hat kinda like a "fishing hat" and you moved through the crowd from the far right to fairly close to the center double fisting yer beers? lol... You were "trying to get up front with your girlfriend" aswell... lol If so, I recall seeing you as well.

Yep...that was me alright. My wife and I thank you for giving me safe passage back to her with her beverage...she gets a little testy when she goes too long without refreshments...god bless her little beer-soaked heart.

I hate being "that guy" that plows through people but I hope I did it respectfully and to be honest...I had been at that spot since 5:30 or so, even though I gave it up for a leak and a few more pops. In any event, it was nice to sorta meet you. Next time I hope we can share a couple drinks together.

LOL. Looks like I indirectly met a few hipbasers this time then lol... Next time we'll all definitely have to meet up and have a few pops...

I cut myself off after 4-5 beers and a couple of trips to take a leak... Didn't want to get into a situation where i'd be 1/4 way through the concert and have to piss bad enough that i'd end up losing my spot lol
