Without further adieu, I went to the Bruce Springsteen concert on Monday night at the Bradley Center. It was a good time to be had. He puts on a good old fashion Rock 'n Roll Show. He played for 2 hours and 20 minutes nonstop. However, knowing me, there was plenty to rant about.
- The ticket said there was a start time of 7:30, yet the first chord was struck at 8:20, why not just put that time on the ticket.
- Pat Riley showed up at around 8:15 and received VIP service to the front of the crowd. Come on, it's Pat Riley of the last place Miami Heat.
- In just the small area I was in I saw 6 children the ages of 9-13. A music concert is no place for children, especially on a Monday night.
- When we walked in we were told to turn off our phones, and anyone seen using one would lose their phone. One of our group asked if she could keep it on vibrate in case your kids called, and the security guard said; "No, I wouldn't take that chance." I double dare a security guard to try to take a phone away from a single mother trying to make sure her kids are alright.
- They were charging $30 to park in parking complexes in the area. This is Milwaukee people! I drove three extra blocks and parked for free on the street and had a 6 minute walk. Easiest $30 I ever saved.
- Some lady pulled up next to me and said she wasn't from the city of Milwaukee, but from the suburbs, while I was waiting outside at 6:20 PM, and asked where the nearest Starbucks was. I told her where it was, about 5 blocks away. She then asked "How bad of a neighborhood is that." I know everyone who lives in the suburbs thinks the entire city is one giant gang war, but it is actually safe enough to go to a Starbucks in the middle of downtown at 6:20 PM.

Oh man. I would never walk around the Bradley center, what with all those people about and all.
