Things to do at a country music concert when you're not a country music fan...

So my friend, Marci, won two tickets to a country music concert and asked if I would go with her. I'm not a huge country music fan, but it was free and we got to take the train, so I said, "Sure, why not!"


I had never heard of these people but it turns out I actually had heard a few of the songs on the radio before. We walked around and hung out and goofed off before the music started, here are some pics and the list of things to do at a country music concert when you are not a country music fan:

* get attacked by vendors to sign up for "free" giveaways such as pick-up trucks, boots and guitars signed by a singer you don't know

* collect as many "gimmes" as you can; I got a bag from GMC, a boot shaped glass from Sheplers, a koozie from Sheplers and 2 hand fans, one of which is shaped like a cowboy boot from Justins

* spend $16 on 2 bottles of water and a small Pepsi

*bring back empty Pepsi cup for free ice

*empty ice into boot-shaped glass and give empty Pepsi cup to friend so she can get free ice, too

*eat tacos

*put a moustache sticker on the back of a concert chair

*take pictures of "cowgirls" wearing Daisy Dukes and boots

*sing along and dance to songs you don't know

*watch drunk hootchies try to dance

*walk 5 blocks to get to the bus stop so you can get to the train, change trains then get to your car and drive home to take aspirin for your headache
