After the first few weeks of the year spent working, things are starting to pick up a bit I guess on the social scene. The weekend before last we made our first road trip of the year to Shreveport, LA and ate some good food (between Joe's Crab Shack and Ralph and Kacoo's), gambled some at the casinos and did some pub hopping. We even got out to see a Motley Crue tribute band (Motley Crude!) but had to sit through a local band, who didn't even start until 10:30, only to find out another band was going on next, near midnight, before the tribute band. So yeah, we didn't make it out that long after a day of drinking and shopping. Good road trip to kick off the year though.
This past weekend we caught our first real concert of the year as Electric Touch and Rival Sons opened for Evanescence at Verizon Arena here in Little Rock (Big Rock!!!). Solid sets from both openers as the first band had a bit of a Stones feel to them and the 2nd band had a nice Zeppelin-throwback sort of thing working. Evanescence was great if you're a fan of them and that was a pretty good way to get the year kicked off with live music and even erased the Shreveport music debacle from my mind I guess.
Decent line-up of upcoming shows for Big Rock too as we've already gotten tickets for Rascal Flatts and Zac Brown Band and will be getting tickets for Daughtry and SafetySuit when they go on sale this week. We passed on Jimmy Buffet tickets but they sold out in 2 hours anyway. We're going to be getting tickets for Van Halen in Nashville as soon as they go on sale. That's in April. So yeah, a road trip plus a show.
Of course, New Orleans is booked for a week in March as usual.
Welcome 2012. You're lookin' good.
