Will work 4 Concerts

So my plan this year is to see as many concerts as my savings account will let me. Of course living in the midwest your choices are sometimes few and far between. Peoria gets a few okay concerts but if you love more not mainstram music, Which I do!, you at times must travel. So far this year I have been to quite a few...varied in genre but none the less concerts! I will list them in the order I saw them starting with Jan 2005. I know I am a bit obssesed with seeing concerts. Whenever we are traveling to a different city for vacation I will always check to see if there will be a concert in town. This way you get to experience different venues and different crowds. Although I love living in Peoria, I really do no sarcasim needed, I miss the concert selection available. When we were in AZ the concert scene was awesome...great little venues for more obscure bands and larger venues(Hello Sun Devil Stadium) for larger acts. The only bad part about living in a larger city is you have to fight to get tickets because more people are trying for them. So the beat goes on...

So as you can see I just kill for live music...I will see anything if I think it will be entertaining. Along with music concerts I have filled my year with Plays and Cubs Games too!
The crappy thing is we had tickets to go see Ben Folds in concert in Chicago but then New Order booked for the same night and they trump Ben so we had to sell our Ben Tickets but hopefully we will still have some great shows bringing up the year end!
Happy Raging!
