New York State Fair Concert Roundup

Basically, it sucked. Well, actually, Heart were pretty good. Journey was a wankfest, they could have been a cover band. I still enjoyed "Separate Ways" though. About 1/3 of the way through I realized that Journey are "motivational speaker" rock. "Don't Stop Believing", "Change for the Better", "Be Good to Yourself", the list goes on and on. Cheap Trick - well, we missed Cheap Trick while dealing with the hordes of '80's humanity attempting to find their seats in the Mohegan Sun Grandstand. Let there be no doubt, the grandstand is an awful place to see the show. To sum up:

:Too crowded
:No ushers/security
:no signs for seats
:awful sound

And the fair itself was just a let down. Too many (fair) people combined with the fact I never had a chance to get a fried dough left me disappointed. On the plus side, the wine slushies were awesome. Too bad they're not 32oz. anymore (10 oz, for crissakes). Anyhow, I'm fully loaded on the fair and will be fine for another decade.

And for Boski - it indeed was Camaro/Mullet heaven.
