The gift of Foos keeps on giving

Hubs and I wanted to change it up this year for Spanky's birthday and give him something more memorable than tangible. With 2 tickets and the truth we were ATL bound. Spanky was exited and the night just kept getting better and better.
As we were walking towards the entrance to the arena, Hubs called and told Spanky that he had been selected as All Conference for his football team and had to be in attendance Saturday at 2 to accept his award.
Level up...
We get inside the 1st band is already on, our seats are ok but of course could be better. We leave to roam around - buy the mandatory tour tshirts, meander back in and the aisle attendant approaches and asks of if we would like to move closer and more towards the middle of the section. That would be a yes mam.
Level up...
Then the Foos ended up playing for 3 hours. Sure didn't seem like it but damn what a show.
Back in the car stuck in traffic once again trying to get out of the parking lot with ears a'ringing. Spanky said, "Mom, I do believe this has been the best day of my life." at least I believe that's what he said.
Happy Birthday Spanky and hopefully there will be tons more best days to come!



So the vid only shows clips of songs. There was no way that I could possibly stand still through a whole song just for the sake of capturing it all. See that's the dilemma I face sometimes. Not a bad one mind you but sometimes you have to decide whether or not to let what's happening around you rest in your head camera or maybe miss a part of the action because you're behind the lens trying to capture the moment. The feelings of being in the moment usually far out weigh anything one could probably ever capture on "film". Yet nonetheless, I couldn't let Spanky's first BIG time concert go undocumented. I settled for capturing snippets for him to watch in the future and be taken back. And yes there is the whole - you can't stand still when Dave comes a rockin thing.
I truly don't even care for videos from fans taken at concerts. The audio is bad and the camera is shaky but hey this all about the memories. I was even gonna dub some studio song over the footage I took but decided against it. But be sure to watch the intro and around 9:33 where they are taking a break...
And no this time I didn't go diving over people to get to Dave (Foo concert 1) or come face to face with him while he was running about the arena (Foo concert 2), I had to act the part of the responsible adult or wait, be the responsible adult - that's what I meant. Shit, I don't know what I was worried about, Spanky's bigger than I am, next time we are getting floor tickets!
