We saw Blue October last night at the Ridglea Theater last night. It was a "special" show. We didn't know what that meant until we got inside. Turns out it was a show sponsored by Camel cigarettes. Some people were getting in for free. We only paid $20 each for our tickets, which isn't much so it's no biggie.
The Ridglea used to be a movie theater, so there was some limited seating. We were fortunate enough to get a couple seats. The opening act was Pretty Baby, a 3 piece band. They were decent. We got free download codes for a couple of their songs, so I'll be checking that out.
Camel was actually giving out a bunch of free stuff. We got a couple free packs of cigs, a free beer ticket, and a 64 mb flash drive. You could go get your picture taken and put on the drive, but we didn't do that because of the line. All I wanted was the delicious cigarettes anyway!
I snuck in our camera to the show, as you can see above. Digital cameras are just not meant for concert photography. I think the effect is kinda cool, tho. I was shooting the video below when one of the venue guys told me to put it away. Apparently the guys in the band don't want us taking pictures. I don't get that, but whatever Blue October!
My only complaint has to be with the song list they chose. Justin let us know that they had filled the set list with all of their most rocking songs. I just knew that would include the song Somebody, which is my favorite it BO song, but they never played it! It hurts! It hurts on the inside where my soul should be!
