We'd known the Rolling Stones had been coming to Wichita for a while, however, tickets were not exactly the cheapest thing. Fast forward for anyone who knows me and my dad. Deciding at the last minute, is nothing new at all. So we were at Barnes and Noble, and somehow (I think I recall the linkages, but don't feel like repeating them) my dad was talking to someone we know who had been given 15 free tickets last night and mentioned not knowing if we were going to try and go or not. So, we got free tickets. Score!
The concert was pretty good. We were sitting in the far corner. (Football stadium, stage was in the south endzone area, we were in the north west portion, about 13 rows from the top.) I was impressed by the concert. The level of sound was not bad, and there was enough breeze blowing that I didn't have any major problems due to people smoking. (Until after) It took a while for the crowd to warm up.
An amusing thing was that on the large screen they had, start of (song whose name escapes me) they had short videos of a naked woman. (Nothing more than a nipple showing.) The reaction of some portions of the crowd was amusing. Ah, Wichita.
So, progress on things I had planned on was less than expected today. Sleep now, probably miss a class to finish up the Real Analysis which has been kicking my butt.
Though I did reject the urge to go make a sign suggested by a friend that said "Hitler's mom should have had an abortion" and go stand with some anti-abortion protesters, or drive by them, and have the car stall. (Very easy to have 'happen' if the driver isn't trying to prevent it.) Right on Rock in front of them. (The problem for this situation is of course, that that car always starts right back up.)
