2008 Concert Year In Review

Katie 0 Comments

It seems that my concert going for the year is over (unless I can convince someone else to pay $65 to celebrate the new year with Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers) I have decided to write up a year in review. I went to 25 concerts this year, which is an all time high for me in my 10 years of concert going. I hit my 100th concert this summer. I saw some new bands for the first time and others for the 36th!

The concerts I saw were – Spice Girls, Jonas Brothers (x5), SK6ers (x6 – 4 opening for hanson), Hanson (x5), Blake Lewis (x2), Honor Society (x5), Push Play, American Idols, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block and David Cook

Before this year I had only seen SK6ers, Hanson and the Backstreet Boys before! Spots at the shows varied from front row (Honor Society) to ‘this is a good view of the stage, but we’re pretty high up’ (Spice Girls).

Most expensive show: Jonas ($150), David Cook ($150) tied
Least (not free) expensive show: Honor Society Toquet Hall ($6)
Free shows: Jonas Brothers 3-d filming, Honor Society oakes park, Blake Lewis @ Mohegan
# artists seen: 63
#unique artists seen: 35
# shows seen in CT: 12
# of shows out of state: 13
Show farthest away: Hanson in Lancaster PA
Closest show: SK6ers in New Haven CT
$$ spent: $1,106.00
Miles driven: 3,095

I am very much looking forward to 2009 and it’s concerts (kicking it off right with The Rock Boat!) but it will be hard to top this year!

Memory

Next month I am going on The Rock Boat. For a while I was torn on whether or not I should bring my laptop and finally I decided it wasn’t worth it (internet is something like $25 for an hour) but I was completely paranoid that my camera cards would all fill up and I wouldn’t know what to do! Must. Take. Photos. Must. Scrapbook. Them.

I started looking for sales and I think now that I am all set as far as memory cards go. (and I still plan on picking up a couple of disposable underwater cameras as well)

Of course now I’ll have the goal of trying to *fill* all the cards. Although, if I take a few videos at each of the shows I go to, I should have no problem! (And then I will have a lot of content to post here throughout the new year!) But either way, better to be safe than sorry and have too many cards instead of not enough!

Now I just have to make sure I won’t run out of batteries… (one camera is rechargeable and I had bought 2 replacements and then lost one! d’oh. the other takes 4AAs so hopefully if I do run out of those they will have them for sale somewhere on the ship… though probably for a hefty price)
