No Doubt Concert Second Time Around
Last night I saw No Doubt in concert for the second time this year. Just like in May, the venue was the amphitheatre in Chula Vista. But this time I was chosen to get a pit ticket, so I was standing just yards from the stage. Concerts seem much better when you are closer to the stage, standing with others that are just as glad to be there as you are.
The opening band (actually the second band) was Panic! At the Disco. I'm not very familiar with their songs, but they at least sounded good, but I'd prefer to see Paramore again like in May.
The No Doubt show was basically just like the one in May. Same songs, same stage and same awesome videos and lighting effects. However, this time Gwen did not go running through the crowd.
Once again, I broke down and bought a $12 beer or two. Why is beer so much? How gets this money? Well, at least parking is free.
On the way home, our designated driver did a great job of avoiding an accident that happened just in front of us. Some car hit something on I15 north and there was car parts scattered all over, a man and a woman jumped out of their car on the freeway and ran to the car that crashed. We kept going because cars were breaking hard and swerving to avoided the cars stopped in the middle lanes. On the dive back home I passed the scene again and there were ambulances and fire trucks everywhere. There must have been secondary accidents after we drove by. Other that this incident, it was a great evening.

great review. A friend of mine was at the concert, too, and he said she had no panties on. Since you were "just yards from the stage", do you think gwen went "commando" on that night?
I never got that close to Gwen, but you never know.
Must have been fun! Maybe next year for me.
mmmmmmmm panties
