Yeah. Last time we had some Creedence Clearwater Revival compulation CDs and some Tour of Duty album, but it wasn't really enough for the 3-4 hour long drive. I should remember to bring more next time.

Just remember to turn it right up for Fortunate Son

Suiting title XD
Have a listen to it - a totally awesome song.
Yeah I listened to it and it's a pretty funny song. These guys sound quite familiar to me. I know they also made a track for Fifa 2005, but are they famous for anything else?

Not that I know of. They played a gig in front of my cousin and some friends in Nottingham and there were about 25 people. The band learned their names by the end of the night.

I prefer sitting places as well when I go to a concert. I just want to sit down every now and again and stretch my legs a bit.
I doubt my seat will be used all that much at Maiden - the backpack will get lighter through the evening, as I'll have a few bottles of water in there for the masses.
Yeah, but you'll get heavier yourself... until you go to the toilet...

It'll be like in the cricket season - we drink like fish, but never seem to pee - the heat of the summer helps the water to just evaporate.

and they'll let you take water bottles to a concert? They're always pretty strict on that here. If you got anything to drink with you, you'll have to throw in a trash bin. Say it's for 'safety', but obviously it's just so people will buy more drinks.

Combat trousers have many pockets. I might sew some more to the inside of the legs...

Baseball is based on failure. Cricket is as well, but if you do well, you do well for hours. This winter, Alistair Cook scored almost 1,000 runs against Australia in the Ashes series - the premier cricketing event. 1,000 runs could take a baseball player 10 years to accumulate.

Keep skipping this list every other day. Anyway, I'm crashing at a friends house this week to get away from the family. I'll be casting an SC2 tournament in the evening (think it's 8.30 PM GMT+1) for the EU servers. My first actual tournament stream, kind of nervous about it.

and they'll let you take water bottles to a concert? They're always pretty strict on that here. If you got anything to drink with you, you'll have to throw in a trash bin. Say it's for 'safety', but obviously it's just so people will buy more drinks.
Combat trousers have many pockets. I might sew some more to the inside of the legs...
Don't they examine you for that? Here they always examine you and check your bag. Only way to get something in is hiding it in your socks. Or your underwear.

No space in either :P

Baseball is based on failure. Cricket is as well, but if you do well, you do well for hours. This winter, Alistair Cook scored almost 1,000 runs against Australia in the Ashes series - the premier cricketing event. 1,000 runs could take a baseball player 10 years to accumulate.
So you are saying the scoring in Cricket is inflated just like American Basketball where they encourage rampant scoring and little defense?

Not really - you go out there for the 10 wickets or outs that you have and bat for an allotted time (usually 40 or 50 overs of 6 balls each) and score as many runs as you can, before you're all out, or the overs are used. Then you sawp sides and the batting team tries to chase down the total set by the first team.

Last weekend, the opposition managed 311 runs, which is massive - we beat them, with 6 balls to spare.
