The Sessanta Tour - sessanta means 60. It's Maynard's 60th birthday celebration.
After the Pie VII repair debacle, we drove home, fed and peed the dogs, packed our bags for the concert and headed off. Arrived at 1745. Only 45 mins past Jennyfer's preferred arrival time. Secured one of the last cripple spaces in the upper north lot. Farted (literally) around in the van until 2015 (it was delayed because there had been lightning in the area) then got in line and through the gate. Not knowing our ass from a hole in the ground, we wandered into the first opening we saw and started talking with the usher guy. He took pity on us and said we were his guests for the night, wrist-banded us as cripples, and gave us CHAIRS at the top of the stadium. Our little area also had clean, huge bathrooms. Then I went in search of snackies and found a corndog!!! It was $10 and huge and delicious. Worth every penny. Also got popcorn. COULD. NOT. HAVE. BEEN. MORE. PARE-FECT. Breezed through the merch line and snagged Gary Folz a t-shirt. Show is over and we drift out with the masses. Return to the van in a couple of minutes. Back out and head down the mtn. It's cake!!!! We drove straight out, no traffic snarls, home in 20 mins. Unbelievable.
What's more unbelievable? I totally enjoyed the show without knowing a single song. Primus was my favorite, followed by Puscifer, then A Perfect Circle. I really liked the lead singer for Primus and his bass playing. The end. Of this post. Video post to follow.
