Just got back from the Dave Matthews concert. Great show, even though I only knew 5 out of the 30 songs he did. I had amazing seats - probably the best I've ever had to a concert. A friend of mine, Bob, used his connections to get them for us. Great place to people-watch. Very little in terms of a stage show - the band members rarely move more than three feet, but musically, it was amazing. It didn't matter what he played - no matter how obscure the songs (I had Jason to explain the obscurity levels to me), people just dig every little thing Dave and his band does. Jason shot me little factoids throughout the concert on the songs, the band-members and random life events that tie back to Dave Matthews. The dude right in front of us was hitting a big doobie. Amazing how the smell of the pot, the people passing the joing and the concert atmosphere brought back a lot of memories from when I used to get high. Even a lot of years later, temptation is still there.

Jason and i came up with the following unspoken rules for a Dave Matthews Concert:
1. If you're a girl, you must be hot and wear a shirt that shows cleavage.
2. Everyone must wear Birkenstock sandals.
3. If guys are going to yell something, it must be one of the following "You F**kin rock Dave", "Dave, your the F**kin man" or "Yeah! Dave F**kin mathews!"
4. You must have a beer in your hand.
5. You must have a cell phone so you can call your friend and let them try and hear the concert.
6. Everyone must have at least one article of Abercrombie on.
7. Women must have one visible piercing.

Here are the big no-no's for concert attendance:
1. Never listen to the group you're going to see on the way to the concert.
2. Never wear the t-shirt of the band you're going to see at the concert.
3. Never wear the concert t-shirt you just bought at the concert.
4. Never call your friend in the concert venue just so you can wave at each other
5. Never call your friend so they can hear the concert
6. Never buy your girlfriend a rose at the concert.
7. Never hang out in the parking lot listening to the band that you're going to see on your car stereo (See #1)
