Bubby for short had a rather short, but great life with me. All good things come to an end, as did Bubby for short’s time in this life, but he had a fond memorial flushing and is now in a better place.
Prior to this week it had been a long time since I’d seen a band play in an indoor facility and now I know why. First of all, I made my first trip to the Congress Theatre on Tuesday with all the other high schoolers for the Metro Station/Good Charlotte/Boys Like Girls show and there are not many good things to report. Starting with the good, I did not have to stand down in the mash pit and was able to sit in the balcony, even though once the show started sitting wasn’t really an option if I wanted to see anything. Metro Station played “control” and Boys Like Girls played “thunder.” End of good things. The Congress Theatre is a horrible venue for music as it is round and sound does not bounce off nothing very well. It is also a horrible summer venue and it was hotter than sin and I don’t generally enjoy sweating for 3 hours straight with thousands of other people. $5 Miller Lites, enough said.
Last Month I was at Soldier Field for the Gary Allan/Keith Urban/Kenny Chesney show and that was fantastic. Not only were the performances themselves great, but the acoustics were very good as well. Plus, I must say, anywhere you can tailgate before the show will always earn bonus points. A completely complimentary outdoor performance by Jake Owen will never hurt either. Speaking of country music, the blog will be on hiatus now until after Country Thunder.
Now it’s time for the Nice Peter show at Cubby Bear. RED LINE TRAIN!
