Ratdog

On Aug 23, we saw Ratdog open for the Allman brother's band in Camden. The show was excellent, but the lot was lacking. Food vendors were few and far between, and, as a result, those few that did show up ran out of food early. That old lot scene ain't what it used to be.

We knew the show didn't sell out, so we intended to buy lawn seats at the gate. With the little one it tow, it makes sense to go up to the top of the lawn where it is flat and less loud. There is more space to spread out so that she wouldn't be underfoot of the careless and/or overstoned folk present. When we arrived at the box office, I asked for two lawn seats. The guy working there took our $55 and handed me two tickets: Section 103, row Q. Pretty darn good seats (retail $75 each). Nice gift, but we were unable to use the seats without risking our babies hearing. So the top of the lawn it was. I've been going to shows for years and I can count on one hand the number of times I've had seats that good. Finally get them as a miracle and... oh well. Maybe we'll get a baby sitter the next time we want to go to a show.
