The gates opened at 2pm. 
Robby ran ahead to get us seats right on the front rail.
We then had to take turns guarding our spot for the next several hours in the baking hot sun.
We chatted up our neighbors and had a great time.

Sometime Saturday afternoon I decided this was heaven.
Everyone was amazingly good tempered, not an angry word or look anywhere, we're all just hanging out with 70,000 of our new best friends.
Ok, well, if this really was heaven perhaps Kathy should be here too.
And maybe the bathrooms in heaven shouldn't smell so bad.
And beers wouldn't cost $13 each in heaven.
And perhaps it would be a bit cooler during the day.
But other than a few details, heaven.

He put on a fantastic show.
