One thing you will learn, grasshopper, is that finding parking for a concert is harder than getting Charlie Sheen sober. Especially when a-holes feel the need to take up whole spaces with one beach chair.
Embrace it. I started off hating it but eventually I just gave in. I can't get enough of it nowadays. Saw Kenny Chesney live for the 4th time in June at Lincoln Financial in Philly.
Glad to see it isn't a terrible idea. I also hate large cities, save for Boston, and the community colleges out here are really out in the middle of nowhere. Like surrounded by farm land.
