Mike's rules for outdoor concerts

Tonight, we went to downtown Vegas to the Fremont Street Experience. This is always a fun place. Tonight because of the ACM they had two stages set up for a line up of new , up-and-coming, and headliners. The headliner tonight was "Lady Antebellum" but the opening acts included American Idol's Danny Gokey and some Taylor Swift wantabees. Knowing that Lady Antebellum was last, the crowd kept growing and growing. It started maxing out at Danny G.

Mike's Rules:

1. If you want to get to the front, follow the aggressive couple that weaves through the crowd like a sailboat on the water.

2. Try to hold your position.

3. Here are the people to avoid:

A. The guy in the cowboy hat.

B. The guy who puts his small daughter on his shoulders so that together they are about 6'-8".

C. Avoid the guy who is 6'-8" who stands by the guy in the hat.

D. Avoid the 7'-o" guy who plants himself in the center and invites everyone to leave him alone. Check

E. The group of girls who stand by you and talks as loud as possible because there is music or something.

F. The Corona train. Four couples who come as a group and the guys keep going after fresh Coronas while moving people aside as they go. This was constant.

G. The large "weeble" family that decides to leave in the middle of the set and knock people aside as they go.

H. They, of course, come face to face with the two girls who believe that they have the divine right to go to the stage.

I didn't mention smoker-guy, but you know about him.

All these people were within 15 feet of us and made staying for the headliner unbearable.
