Iron Maiden In San Antonio + More
By Adam Blue | May 25, 2008
Sorry for the delay, but this is how it went down:
Schrader and I leave Wednesday morning. I had a Salad as my only meal. When we get to San Antonio, we head to Applebee’s where I have the spinach dip and a beer. A big beer. Then Schrader grabs some rum at Liquor World.
We then drink up the rum as we head out with his buddy Dan to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.
Once there, I by my lonesome make my way through the pit to get to the front and center. The first and only band before Maiden, was the Bassist’s daughter, Lauren Harris. She is smokin’ hot. The music was just okay, but she was fun to look at. I didn’t get any photos of her while I was there, but here’s a good one I found on the net:
Then Maiden starts. I push my way to the very middle-front…and I’m only about a few bodies from the barricade. Here’s a video of The Trooper I shot with my N95, giving you an idea of my location.
And here’s a video I found on YouTube of the intro. Here you can actually see how many freaking people were at this concert…and I was in the front and center…I’m proud of myself (give it a few seconds to light up):
And here’s Bruce calling out some guy smoking pot (found on YouTube):
But the pit was pretty crazy. Not body slamming crazy like Pennywise, but these people were so crazy about seeing Iron Maiden that they were pushing hard up against me from all angles trying to move in closer. Make sure to check out my Flickr Photostream for all the photos from the concert.
After four hours of sweating like hell and not drinking water after consuming a bunch of alcohol, Maiden was done. And I was feeling sick. We head back, grab some food and decide to go to a Gentleman’s Club. Once inside, the DJ mentions the Iron Maiden concert, and starts playing some Maiden. So, naked girls + alcohol + Maiden = Totally-uber-epic. Then my buddy bought me a lap dance and asked the DJ to play some Maiden for it. Ha. That was crazy. Though, lap dances do nothing for me, it was a nice gesture.
The next morning we wake up to leave and make it back in 3 1/2 hours. Ha. I think I did good there.
So, that’s it for Maiden, but it didn’t stop there. After an hour with Conan on the 360 (great game), I went with my Dad and Bro to see the new Indiana Jones movie. Did Not Like. I’m not going to go into detail until more people see it, but too much CGI = Crap.
I’ve got some more news too, but I’ll get to that later this week. Stay Tuned.
