Merry Madness

We waited in lines for hours

Prior to the ticket sales office opening

While friends of ours sat in front of home computers

Mice highlighting the right button in anticipation

We were all ready for that moment

When the tickets went on sale

For the concert of a lifetime

With all of our favorite bands playing 11AM-11PM

Finally the flood gates opened

Our planning and poise were well rewarded

Between the group of us we all got pit tickets

Mainly due to our vigilance and fast mouse clicking

After about a month of planning

The exciting, long awaited day finally arrived

We all met at the diner anxious to roll

After the City View Breakfast feast we were ready to go

Upon arriving in the parking lot

We weren't surprised to find a little chaos and mischief

There were bus loads full of people pouring out

Cars and kids from all over the country

If you wanted it, you could find it

There was everything from hot dogs, hamburgers

Sausages; cases, coolers and kegs of beer

To vans and tents filled with jewelry, piercings and concert CDs

Of course there were the less then legal things to see

Paraphernalia from all parts of the globe

From glassware blown in California  

To Deluxe Zippos from Australia 

After some good old tail-gating

And a few beers we headed in

Past the vendors and souvenirs we walked to happiness

To a a filled with chaos and pit merry madness
