| ZZ Top |
| 05.10.08 (9:42 pm) [edit] |
Last night, my dad and I saw ZZ Top at the Dixon County Fair. The city town of Dixon clearly was unprepared for an event such as a famous band coming into their little cowtown. We took the recommended exit for the fairgrounds, and we found ourselves on a one lane road through the middle of Dixon. In over an hour we went less than one mile. It was a colossal clusterfuck. God forbid that quiet little town open up both lanes, or have cops directing traffic.
Inevitably, when we finally did get down to the fairgrounds, after much cussing, jokes about the town of Dixon, and how the two most popular activities after cow-milking were probably suicide and teen pregnancy, the tow itty bitty parking lots they had were closed. We were rerouted to the high school. Sitting for an hour could have easily been avoided by renting some of those electronic construction signs saying something like, "Lot Full. Use Next Exit."
We missed the entire opening act, and as we were walking through the parking lot, we heard the opening song Gimme All Your Lovin' and missed a few others.
Once we were in there and got past the carnie campers, and farm animals, we had really good seats. The venue is really small so it's hard to have bad seats. It was assigned seating, but at that point, the show well underway, we generally guessed where I seats might be.
It was a kick-ass show; no showboating, no gimmicks, just good hard, raw rock. It was just great. The played everything we wanted to hear, they had an encore. Yeah.
A guy at work said, "So were you like the youngest one there?" Surprisingly, this family, with a couple of blonde 10-12 year old girls were next to us and sometimes it seemed they were more into than me. And there was a little boy rocking out behind us.
And then we tooled around the fair. It was OK; typical Butler Amusement type stuff.
Although I'm not as mad as I was during that one hour that Dixon could be so stupid in its event planning, I'm still a little miffed. I want to write a letter. What is a good non-offensive synonym for clusterfuck?
