I got in! Was worried since someone tagged themselves in my seat. As soon as I got there, I recognized the woman sitting in the seat next to me as the one that tagged herself. I told her that I was floor 3, row 11, seat 11 and she said she and her husband had seat 11 and 12, but actually had 12 and 13. We're staring at each other, and the husband finally says "do you want us to move?". I decided to just take seat 13 rather than us get tangled up (seats were very close together). Not sure if my view would have been better or worse if I had switched since there were about three 6'6" men in the rows ahead (I'm 5'3"). Oh, and future note for anyone who goes to shows at AllState- the seating chart shows there's an aisle between rows 10 and 11, but there isn't. Entire reason I bought row 11 was so I wouldn't have tall people in front of me. But the tickets worked!

I thought Lindsey's guitar was a bit low at times. I forgot which song (maybe ISA?) but I was thinking that I heard Mick much more than him. I was deaf after the show (not in a bad way though).
I know what you mean! I started taking guitar lessons last year due to my love of Lindsey.

The traffic was horrendous! They need better traffic cops. So I ended up having to park across the arena, which was free, but had to hike it over in the freezing cold. I mean subzero temps! Longest walk ever! They had a shuttle bus but there was no way I'd be waiting out in the cold just to wait for that bus to arrive.

I was one of the shuttle bus people. I took the first one up there and was glad I did. I had to wait about 15 minutes, but that was my fault for getting up there that early. They started loading at 6:45pm, which I was very happy about. I didn't have to wait for one on the way back, caught it just in time. It was caught up in traffic like all the cars though.

I laughed at this too. Couple other moments- when Lindsey was introducing Big Love, and talking about hard times that he was going through at the time, someone in the audience screamed (not sure why) and he said something like "Sounds like that person is going through those times now". And when they went to start GYOW, it sounded like they accidentally started Rhiannon again (edit: now that I think about it, I think it was GDW they accidentally started again). Lindsey had to go over and talk to Mick about it. Oh, and of course, Valentine's Day was mentioned a number of times.
Other than the tall people, it was a great show! I'll post my pictures as soon as I have a chance to edit them.
