I was talking to my old pal James in Cleveland. We lived in that town, as I have mentioned before, for nearly a decade at the end of the 90s.
I look at it as an adventure. We had fun, though it could get rough at times. We met a lot of nice people we are still friends with.
I did enjoy ( and I do miss) the concerts there. There was a time in my life where I would go to more than one concert a week.
There were large venues and small ones. Big names might play the stadium or larger theaters. Local acts, or bands that hadn't done a lot in a while might play smaller clubs.
I have a pretty cool collection of ticket stubs, flyers, signed CDs, t-shirts, and other items from my concert days. I have just about stopped going to concerts at all at this point though.
My friend James still goes at times but not like he used to. The ticket prices are ridiculous, and he brought up the whole dynamic pricing thing, venue security, etc.
Not to sound like a grumpy old man, but its not the same now.
