I'll try to be as thorough as possible with my post, but once it's over it all becomes a blur doesn't it?
Let me just start off by saying that I haven't been feeling well this past week, have this nagging cold and tiredness that won't go away (had it since last Sunday) which significantly put a damper on my mood. I was also taking cold medicine and that left me feeling out of the loop and both tired and awake at the same time. Not a good feeling.
I didn't run into the traffic problems that others did, except for when we were in the vicinity of Allstate, the ramp going into the parking lot was jammed which was understandable. When we left though it was a nightmare trying to get out.
Can't believe though that when my mom and I finally got in that I stumbled into Erin Brown in the bathroom! Was not expecting that and was not expecting her to recognize me either, but she did! *waves*
When we finally got to our seats was when I became disappointed. When I bought the tickets I had been really excited to be in Row AA because it was the first row in that section and I thought "Great, I won't have any obstructions in my way! Perfect for videoing and taking pics!" No, we were practically in the floor section with no elevation and I'm a really short person so throughout the night I had to maneuver so I could see between people's heads.
Plus, I didn't like that there was this seating fiasco going on between people who were supposed to be in Section 114, but that section didn't seem to exist. Management had to keep coming over and were trying to figure out where to sit these people that had these phantom seats. They ended up moving a row of chairs and moving two people down a few seats.
Sec. 113, Row AA.
Other than this, the show was awesome. I'm still partial to the United Center as a venue because I believe it has a better sound system and a better overall seating style. When I went there back in October, I sat in the back for my first show, and even though we were on a riser, I could see pretty clearly the entire stage even when sitting and standing.
--I loved when LB was doing an intro, can't remember which one, might have been "Big Love" when all of a sudden, a group of people in the 200 level screamed really loud and he said "What's going on over there?" or something to that effect.
--The AHS jab was funny too. "This song is not on American Horror Story."
--The funniest part for me though was right after he finished IKINW, and he just flat out started screaming into the mic. It wasn't his usual "Ohhh yeaaah!" My mom and I were both cracking up and luckily I got that on film.
--I missed getting a pic of LB and Chris hugging like I had gotten at the two Chicago shows last year. Everyone seemed to run off that stage after it was over and I couldn't make my camera take pics fast enough.
Anyway, here are some of my favorites from last night:
