Had a freakin blast! 311 nearly blew the windows out of the Orange Peel, haha. It was just a really fun trip, nothing went wrong with the Honda, really short trip to Asheville, the place was a peace of cake to find, great parking..it was just perfect! Oh and......it wasn't raining, it was nice outside! I've had the worst lucky lately about being off when its raining/snowing and working while its nice...it was the opposite finally!
I helped a guy get the opening band's setlist and he agreed that if we got a chance to get 311's setlist that he would split it with me, he held up his end of the deal! :headbang:
Outside the Venue
This was at about 6pm or so, we had been standing in line for a couple hours at this point....no one really showed up to stand in line till about 7 or so, but I wanted to make sure we got right up front.
View up the street...Asheville downtown is a beautiful city.
We went and ate at a pizza place called the "Mellow Mushroom"....pretty much everybody working in there had long ass dreads lol but they were pretty cool.
This is what the menu's look like
MmMmMmMmMm
Some of the decorations outside
At 8pm, after we had stood outside for like 4 hours and froze our asses off, they let us in... We had been standing with these people since we got there, they were all super cool! I'm on the far left btw.
Onto the show pics:
Tim Mahoney (aka GOD) on the guitar, Chad Sexton (drums), Nick Hexum (vocals/guitar).
The man
Hexum getting into the crowd
I also took a lot of vids, not all of them have uploaded to YouTube & Photobucket yet, some of the vids are being gay, I didn't get to record all of some songs because my camera was getting full already and wanted to make sure I got some of the later songs in the show.
