I've seen, here, how obsessive people can be about getting ready to attend a show. Naturally, I'm equally obsessive.
Here is my check list for getting ready to go.
1. Tickets and VIP paperwork.
2. Wallet with drivers license, spending cash and credit card.
3. Secret spy camera/audio recorder

4. Comfortable shoes
5. Sunglasses and baseball cap for sun protection.
6. Aspirin (to negate the stress of contact with drunks and philistines, and to reduce possible eyestrain or headache)
7. Umbrella (optional depending on weather report)
8. Scratch pad and pencil
9. Wrist watch and Cell phone
0. Anti-Beach Ball device (sharpened nail)
1. Some kind of snack that's easy to carry like granola bars, so I don't have to buy $12 hotdawgs.
2. Water, so I don't have to buy $6 drinks.
3. Light jacket, just in case.
Armed with these things, I'm probable to have a good time. I'm going solo, so I'll have more latitude if relocating to another seat or section becomes necessary.
I am not taking record albums or magazines to try and have autographed. Already have enough of that kind of thing.
Not going to partake any adult beverages. That comes afterward. Why would I want my Beach Boys experience to be a happy blur?
