I was in a great seat for being in the GA lawn. I don't know how people could have been able to take being in the first few rows with how loud it was!

Too bad he didn't do a meet and greet, but I still had a great time! I like how he added the extra donut types in Albuquerque. Also, before the show people were throwing beach balls and some people were writing on them. I kept one that says "This crowd's got a lot of balls!" written on it. My sis got one that said "Just forget the words and sing along." (I had to tell her what that was from) and she also got one that had a bunch of Holy Grail quotes on it (which I also had to tell her what the reference was.). My friend was ticked off by how Al kept changing songs all of a sudden. He hates things like that. I loved it; it was a great time! Al has so much energy it amazes me!

If anyone saw a girl with a short haircut wearing Hawaiian print pants, a DARE shirt, and a blue monkey on her head most of the time, yeah, that was me.

x3

That was me, my dad, and two of my friends.
We sent out six or seven at least, and the guys in front of us used our sharpies and sent out a couple, but I don't know what they said.

And it's cool that you got the Holy Grail quotes, we didn't know if anyone would.

Holy Grail quotes?

Man, I wish I was there!

Haha, it was fun.
We put a bunch of random things on it, we went from a Panic at the Disco song to Holy Grail quotes to Charlie the Unicorn to a Harry Potter joke type thing.
We even sent one out that said "Will You Marry Me?" on it.

It was fun. x3
I'll definitely have to do it again if I go to a concert where they have things like that.

I didn't put anything on the beach balls, I just threw other people's around. Anyway, here's a review of some sort:

When I was walking to the big security line, I dropped my tickets, but some very nice Al fans picked them up and gave them to me. The line went surprisingly fast, and we got inside. I got a SOL cover shirt, I was surprised it had updated tour dates. The people working there knew nothing about Al, because when I said, I want the Straight Outta Lynwood shirt,, they looked at me like I was crazy or something. Then I got to the seats, which were right next to the entrance, and I was right behind a annoying security guard who seemed to hate Al. Steve and Jim came out on stage to test their guitars, then some guy from Fox came on stage and said a couple things(those beach balls were annoying(. At about 8:15, Fun Zone came on, and the show obviously started. Al kept disappearing to the other side during Pentiums. During WBUL, the security guard looked very annoyed that Al had jumped off the stage. I actually enjoyed that song much more when it was live. He did Bob(I guess it's just random(. He didn't have the Atlantic Records shirt during YP. The medley was great, but for some reason he just did Alabama instead of Indiana. He fixed the hole in his Amish pants, but he skipped SLN, for some strange reason. They had the stormtroopers too, which was cool. And all the Yankobucks blew to our side, and I was on the aisle, so I just ran up and grabbed a whole stack. I thought they would be the size of real dollar bills, but not everything is perfect I guess. Albuquerque was great, which 7 new donuts. The crowd was screaming along with Al, No we're out of chocolate donuts! All in all great concert. I didn't get to go backstage though.

The show was great. Anyone know why SLN was omitted? I will review and post a link to my pics later. Was there an official meet and greet? I had to get going pretty fast. I took about 200 pics and they all turned out great! I was in third row.
See ya in Merrillville.

I hope my next concert will be in a stadium with nicer security guards.

It sounds like it was a very interesting if imperfect show (but that just means it's being put on by human beings, after all).

It also sounds like somebody needs to take LiveNation aside and tell them that they're not actually, like, a nation, with a government and sovereign rights and all that.
