My Thoughts on Winning New Fans & Hustling

Looking back at all the shows I attended in 2010 (and even the few I've been to in 2011,) it’s amazing all the little “side stories” that I remember from each event. They don’t all make it in the final concert reviews I post to my blog, but there are quite a few still floating around in my brain that really stick out to me. Considering how slow my concert schedule is right now, I figured this would be a good time to highlight one of these miscellaneous tales.

A Nightmare in Kentucky

Nightmare After Christmas Tour: Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Sour, Hollywood Undead and New Medicine

It’s been a slow start to the year, as far as hometown shows go. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and drive the six hours north to Lexington, Kentucky for a stop on the Nightmare After Christmas Tour. I was still pumped from seeing the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival in Atlanta last year where I caught several of these bands. Add in another band that’s been that’s been on my “List” for some time now, and my RSVP for this event was an emphatic YES!
