BethM: Did Jason go with you?
Yeah, he went with me. I felt kinda bad, because he doesn't much care for Tori Amos; he's more in to Scandanavian death metal. I was going to go by myself, but he said he didn't want me in that neighborhood by myself after dark.
LOL! The side of the highway that the amphitheater is on is quite nice, besides the fact that it was full of Tori Amos fans, and security staff and whatnot. Last summer we went to a concert (Feist) there, though, and forgot to take cash to pay for parking. We drove across the highway, about a block, and the areas there are really bad. We couldn't find a grocery store, and had to get cash from an atm at a liquor store. The store was one where all the alcohol was behind the counter, and there was bulletproof glass across the counter with just a little pass-through for money. All the houses there have bars on the windows.
Jason went with me to see Chris Isaak last week, too. He's more into the band-in-a-bar thing than he is into Tori Amos music, though, so I feel less bad about that. I refuse to go see bands with him, but he's got friends who are into that music, so he can go with them. He does appreciate good musicians who put on a nice show, so it's not like he complained the whole time.
We made sure to take cash for parking this year!!
