Mick Knutson's BLiNC BLoG

I created a blog the other day, http://blincmagazine.com/forum/blogs...adventure.html, this talked about my adventure to Philly to See Metallica o January 17th, 2009.

I got to the ALoft Sheridan Hotel at the PHL Airport, and 1st off, BOOK your Philly trip there! It was awesome!

I spent a good deal of Saturday working on a Java class I teach, and the rest of my time trying to secure tickets to the show. I did not find any. But I did find 2 guys getting a cab that I shared or $10 to the show. Then the 1st ticket guy I saw, said he had section 112 (almost center), but might be row 20+. So I said let me see the seats. He ran to get the single ticket, and returned with 112 row 9...... FUCK YES! Center row 9. Each PYRO explosions was burning my face. Seriously!

I can tell you after seeing Metallica in 1985 for Ride the lightening, then And Justice for All, then Black Album twice..... They keep getting better!

Aside from the 1.75 hour wait outside in 19 degree weather for the cab, everything was EPIC!

ps, I was in AWE of James, bringing his daughter out on stage half-way for the entire arena to sing "Happy Birthday". It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
