The Birchmere .. Alexandria VA

[snakecharmer]

I'm always excited when I get my tickey in april and get to see Ottmar in September . It's one of these events for me that I can't wait for summer to be over . Last year was the same thing at the Ramshead ... but this year i thought I should cut down the driving a bit and only drive 4 hours instead of 6 hours .
ANYWAY !!!
When I got the Birchmere I didn't realize that you have to get a seating number . So here I am sitting in my car an hour before the show thinking the doors open at 6:00pm ... when I realize whats going on I got number 96 ... so all the front seat were taken . So I looked around and I'm trying to find some nice QUIET couple ... well I find a table in the back but in the middle of the place so at least I can see straight on . Well I should of known ..... these drunk people sat right next to me . Talking and joking the whole time ... I say go see Jimmy Buffet if you want to drink and be loud ... anyway it was a good show by OL and the Crew .... Sounded great and i got to meet him .... next year we will see him Somewhere else ...

Oh man, that's a bummer about the seating situation! I hate ending up next to obnoxious people. Oh well, that's cool you got to meet him! Any chance you took some pictures??

Oy, why drunk talkers would go to an OL concert, I'll never know Were they making fun of the music at all? I wouldn't think that the typical loud, drunk jerk would be a huge fan of beautiful music...
