That's awesome, dude. I wish I could go out and follow musicians like that. If I had that ability, I probably would have stalked Black Label Society back in 2005. Hopefully your buddy opts towards the concert.
I rather not go through my Chicago ordeal again.
I spent nearly $1000 for tickets for six people. Two of which were suddenly unable to go, so I had to sell the tickets to a very nice couple in the local area who were more than happy to attend and join us. Luckily they weren't creeps or serial killers, and we all enjoyed the magnificent shows and feasted on sushi and cocktails thereafter.
This will be the first time I set foot in Texas too, so hopefully I'll fair well. Though desert heat and I don't tend to get along.
