I ♥ Gary Allan
OMG … I loved Gary Allan before tonite. Now … I love him even more. I just got home from his concert about a half hour ago. He played for almost 2 hours. And let me say … he ROCKED!!! Robin and I went … and we got to go for FREE. Thanks to the wonderful Avalanche gang. We had been planning on going anyways … but last Thursday I found out that Avalanche was opening for Gary. Kevin told me not to get any tickets. So I got 2 free tickets. I picked ‘em up yesterday from Brad. I can never thank them enough for the tickets. Like I said … we were gonna go anyways … but to go for free … and to such an awesome concert. That ROCKS!!
My poor camera got a workout tonite. I took almost 50 pics of Avalanche and then over 120 pics of Gary Allan (50.4 MB of pics total). And most of ‘em turned out too. Some of ‘em are a bit blurry … but I’m not suprised. It was so frickin’ crowded in there. And then the drunk asses had to start pushing. Why the hell do they have to do that? But my poor camera. It got warm on me. I wasn’t sure if I should turn it off and let it cool down or not. I didn’t. Didn’t wanna miss a good pic. I did miss a couple opportunities when I had to change the batteries. This is the first time I’ve actually run the batteries down on this camera.
The only bad thing … other than the asses pushing … is that my lower back is killing me. I’m not used to standing for that long … and it was on concrete too. But it was worth it … definitely!! And I got a guitar pick too. 
Gary was throwing ‘em in to the crowd all nite. I never got close enough to catch one though. BUT … as we were leaving … I saw one on the floor. So of course I snatched it up.
Here’s one of the MANY pics I got. I’ll try to get the others up on Monday (since I don’t work).
