Do any of you eat the same pre-concert meal?

RiotAct10

I won't be doing it for all three shows I am about to see, and I havent done it for every show (defintley not for Lolla) but typically I eat Subway before the concert. It is something I think is enough food to keep my full, and at the same time, most likely not fuck with my stomach too much. Do any of you have something you typically get before a PJ show, or any concert I guess? Or am I just a weirdo?

Not so much that I have to eat the same thing like a ritual, but I do make it a point to not eat or drink so much where I'll have to be running to the bathroom the whole show.

I eat whatever burger they sell at the place we do our pre-show setlist draft.

Oh yeah. I defintley cut off all drinking of bevarages at least an hour before the show. And then I sometimes go during the opening band, and try to go again as close as I can to right before PJ comes on. I have a small bladder.

this made me

i pictured you throwing down subway with headphones on getting pumped like the shot in the locker room before a big basketball game on espn.

now i'm kind of pissed i don't have a tradition...although i did have a foot long sub twice...so i'll go with that

About 2 hours before the St. Louis show I walked down the street to try and find some food.
Found a mall that had a Subway,Mexican, and Chinese food.
The thought of eating mall Chinese food then having to take a crap during the show made me lose my appetite.

The only pre show thing I focus on is NO BEER. Only hard stuff to minimize the chance of making pee pee

Clearly important not to experiment with new cuisines. Midshow gastrointestinal distress would not be fun. I'm thinking nothing greasy. Last time we had Bertucci's pizza and many beers, and that was just about right.

Although... in the beer line just before PJ came on the beer lady carded me and then called me by a nickname that I absolutely hate. My nephew Andrew was falling over himself laughing at my reaction, until she carded him and called him Andy _ which he absolutely hates.

By God as I write this it me as overly fussy on our part. She was, after all, handing us beer. She could have called me Shithead and I should have been appreciative. It was beer, after all.

I typically down a bottle of don Julio or Hanger vodka. Not this year though. Maybe a half of bottle

Nittany1bn

does guinness and harp half and halfs count?

Get_Right

usually a burger or sub around 5-6
but the only tradition is a liquid and herbal diet before the show

Im gonna have to try the no beer approach and maybe stick around for evenflow

A good sandwich before my Captain or Jose or both, always does me right. They will both be joining me in Newark and MSG 1.
