THE SWEATY PITS OF HELL
In short, Atlanta was sweltering;
waiting in line was definitely no cake walk. Living two hours away we left in
time to make it to the venue by 12 o’clock, and after the unplanned detour siri
decided to take us on we made it to Aarons Amphitheatre around 12:30 only to endure
optimal direct sunlight. Usually with assigned seating it’s not worth a heat
stroke waiting in line hours early but I wanted the exclusive Atlanta tour
poster, hence our early arrival.
Aarons Amphitheatre at Lakewood
would not open the parking lots until 3 o’clock so the early arrival line we
were parked in took up one lane of the two lane road outside of the venue. We were
about the 8th car. Finally the main lot directly outside of the
gates opened and we had to drive less than a second down the road to it and
then stand in line outside of the gates.
A small merch booth was set up outside
and they were slowing getting all the products up; however this merch tent
never offered the limited poster. Later on I spotted a few people walking
around with it and they didn’t have sound check; turns out there’s a mysterious
other entrance to the venue I have never seen before, and a merch tent over
there was selling them. Luckily my MVP hoped on a golf cart while I held our
place in line and snagged one! (It was $40)
