Well I'm sure that the SS had been inside and had swept the building. And since they wanded everyone who came in they knew there was no weapons. And if he came in after Fun Zone started most everyone was seated already so no worries about being seen. Even the President can get around without being seen occasionally

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the President was there. We found it on his schedule where he was there last year. I looked at the schedule thing for this year, but there were only a few things detailed. Are you sure that they wanded people? We didn't get any security checks last year. Anyway, I didn't notice anything really strict there last year, so it doesn't surprise me that it would be the same this year.

Yeah my ex lives in Baltimore and she took her husband to the show and she said they had been wanded. It's not unheard of at Al shows, they got us at House of Blues in AC

Oh no, I've been wanded at Al shows, as well. Just saying that they didn't wand last year at the Warner. That's interesting as to why it would be more dangerous for the President this year. I mean...I wasn't even there??

I have never seen them search/wand anybody at the Warner. Maybe I just don't look suspicious, even with my blue hair. Then again, we got to the theatre in the middle of "TMZ." The car ride was wretched.

No kidding. I was talking about YDLMA. I'm not familiar with the set list changes this time around. I was only fortunate enough to go to ONE show this year.

Well with all the terrorists being killed lately there are some security concerns we didn't have last year

Last year's concert was before the President's tax deal and the debt ceiling negotiations...

That's pretty cool. Maybe next time Al can get Obama to be the opening act.

Now to be serious, it was a great show, Al and the band came out afterwards to sign autographs and take pictures, but it was a bit rushed because he had to leave. I was front row, right in front of Jim's microphone. Fun night! :)
