Barenaked Circus
Jun. 9th, 2002 02:04 pmThe weather was beautiful.
The Barenaked Ladies put on a great show.
We had seats as opposed to lawns....
And that's about where I run out of good things to say about the concert yesterday.
The tickets said 4:00 start, so we show up at about 3:45.
BNL hit the stage at 9:30.
That's right, 5 1/2 hours of sitting and listening to bands we've never heard of before.
Then, we thought we'd pass the time by going to get something to eat.
We stood in like for 45 minutes to get some nachos and cheese. They're out of cheese sauce. Okay, Caramel Corn? Nope, sold out of that too. Hot dog or Hamburger? Nope, no buns. So we got a coke and sat back down.
Dan went to the concession stand on the other side of the stage later on to try for pizza. He stood in line another 45 minutes only to be told they had just sold out of pizza. Luckily though, while Dan was trying to decide what to do, they brought a fresh one out. We had pizza.
Then...we went to go to the bathroom just before the real concert was about to start and the women were lined up out the door and there was a roll of toilet paper working it's way up the line because there was none left in the stalls. On top of that it smelled something awful. I guess the OMlson Amphitheater isn't used to all afternoon concerts, so they don't send maintenance staff to the bathrooms until after the concert is over.
So yeah, I'd have to call that the worst concert I'd ever been to. The 1 1/2 hours BNL played for were great, the rest was a waste of my Saturday afternoon.
