Dear Diary, I got up a bit after 7 and made coffee, which is good.  My wife has pilates today so she'll be up directly.

ZZ Top Concert at UT's Memorial Stadium in September, 1974.  Not sure whose bright idea this was, but they completely trashed the whole place. Looked like the remains of a demilitarized zone aftwerward.

Neat.  I don't think I would have enjoyed that packed a crowd for a rock concert.

I have mild claustrophobia and I'm also a misanthrope, so to me, those scenes look like nightmare fuel.

My dad was there, but up in a reserved section.  He was the GM for a popular country radio station in Austin, and at the time it was his radio station that had the radio broadcast rights for all UT games, so he got all kinds of perks on campus.

I attended Farm Aid III in Lincoln in 1987

don't remember it being that packed, probably limited total capacity

the Field Turf was covered to avoid damage as it was Sept and the Huskers needed a football field shortly

huge concerts like that aren't my thing, but I've been to more than a few - when I was younger

Yeah I used to go to huge concerts and festivals a lot when I was younger.  High School and College utee was a lot more tolerant of mingling with idiots, than the current version of me.

I'm not planning any trips in the next few months

but, I'm coming out of retirement and starting a new job Monday

3 weeks of vacation, but I might be kinda busy learning the ropes for a few months

not sure when I'll make it to Colleyville to bother my brother

I do plan to attend the Memorial golf tournament in Dublin, OH the end of May, beginning of June
