Concert Fun/Movies

This week I watched Don Jon and White Men Can't Jump for my movies.  Don Jon had good actors and a decent plot, but I just couldn't get into it.  It was alright, but I find the ending kind of unbelievable.  The latter movie is an older flick but one I just hadn't seen until now.  I liked it, but didn't love it.

Yesterday Melissa got me comp tix to see Darius Rucker.  We ended up in the pit.  We were super duper close to him!  Here we are:

David Neal opened.  He had good energy and sang well.  His guitarist, however, drove me nuts.  Total attention whore.  The dude went out into the crowd after his set for attention.  When I didn't give it to him, he went away like a toddler.  I hope I didn't bruise his ego too much.  Here's David Neal:

Then the Eli Young Band came out.  I'm not their biggest fan.  For some reason their music just never really moved me, but they were entertaining to watch anyways.  Here's Young & Eli:

Then it was time for Darius!  I think Hootie is awesome and he put on a good show.  He does a great job of balancing the old with the new.  His fans go crazy for him:

For the most part it was a good experience.  We did have 2 snaffus though.  On the way in, this stupid car with 2 girls from Ohio cut us off at the traffic light.  We let them in our lane anyways.  When we got closer to the venue, it went from 2 lanes to 1 lane.  I had to get over and get in front of them.  Being the terrible Ohio people they were, they decided to almost hit my car and blare their horn at me.  Melissa got mad and I'm pretty sure she flicked them off, but I just let it go.  If I could get rid of any state in the union, it'd be Ohio.  However, that would make traveling by car a pain.

The second instance happened during Darius' set.  Two girls were pushing through the crowd to get closer to the stage.  The first girl stepped on my foot and then said excuse me as she pushed me.  Instinctively, Melissa and I both put our elbows up and stopped them in their tracks.  

The one girl was like "um excuse me".  

I said "you stepped on my foot".  

Girl: "we were up there before". 

Me: "That's fine but you still don't have to step on my foot" 

Girl: "I said excuse me" 

Me: "You stepped on my foot".

The girl rolled her eyes and then she and her friend walked a different direction.  Pretty sure they were just trying to push ahead of us because they thought we would be weak links.  Boy were they wrong!  You don't mess with me or Melissa.  We can handle ourselves in a crowd--BOOM let the riots begin!
