after a chance encounter with mixer and nuedo this past weekend and a hearty discussion over some tasty blue moons, car bombs, and arepas i decided to look into this journey/def leppard tour a little more. and for those of you who don't know what an arepa is, it's two very tasty pieces of cornbread that for no particular reason at all are fried on a dirty grill at a street fair and then are slapped together with a piece of mozzarella cheese in between. oh yea, then let it sit on this dirty grill for, oh about 6-8 hours, and then have a couple of drunk kids bargain the leftovers for no price at all. no sides, no sauces, just dry cornbread and low quality mozzarella soaking in smog for an afternoon. simply delectable. anywho, back to the matter at hand.
checking the website for def leppard i found the answer to one of the important questions. journey opens the show and def leppard rocks the night away. secondly, the mohegan sun date on wed the 28th is miracously sold out. lots of fans up here in CT. the jones beach show on saturday june 24th would be perfect, except that i will be in miami that weekend and i really can't miss this show. they are playing in Atlantic City at the Borgata on July 1st, and 4th of july and gambling and drinking go great with journey and def leppard but $100 tickets are a bit steep. they've also added some additional shows at the end of the summer. there's one at saratoga, ny on sat sept 16th or boston on sat sept 23rd. those tickets haven't gone on sale yet but judging from the jones beach tickets they are around $35. some other shows at jones beach this summer....
- styx/foreigner fri 5/26
- jimmy buffett sat 7/1
- chicago/huey lewis fri 7/28
- poison tue 8/8
- john fogarty/willie nelson fri 8/11
- korn/deftones sat 9/2
and judging from these guys on the jones beach website i think we have no choice but to look into some of these shows....
