So i'm working in houston for the next month and my sister was planning a trip down from the great white north. To her delight Lil wayne is doing a concert here in April. She being a big spender wanted to make the most of her trip and wanted to get, of course, VIP lil wayne tickets. Me not liking rap, wasn't a fan of going to say the least. So she makes me go since she doesn't want to go to the concert by herself. I told her I would go if she bought me the ticket (fair in my opinion haha), but as it turns out 2 VIP tickets cost $1000 (and people are complaining about 95 for Ed). So long story short I'm going to be front row to Lil wayne.....

    Fuck all that!! I am not a fan either, but many folks are.. being front row at any show is a thrill and it would be my opinion that you should make the absolute most out of the night!! sing, dance, put your mother fucking hands in the air. Be open minded and be yourself!! never know, could turn out to be the best night of your life!! Have fun!!!

    I agree with this. I have absolutely no interest in Little Wayne whatsoever (white girl, check in) but hell, you're going to be front row at a sold out show. You better make the best of it. Do whatever feels good, drink up, boogie down. Why the hell not, just enjoy it.

    I actually am a fan of Lil Wayne so I would definitely say make the most of the show and enjoy yourself. Preconceived notions of what it may be may keep you from enjoying what really is. I've heard that he actually puts on a pretty good show. Not a Pearl Jam worthy show, but a pretty good one, nonetheless... :)

    haters gonna hate. wayne is among the best of the best in terms of modern day hip hop. i love the bizaare rhymes and the crazy voice. tha carter III and Da Drought III are among the best albums of the decade.

    im eagerly awaiting tha carter IV in a few months.

    he may be a jerk, but his music is pretty mindblowing stuff

    Just make the best of it. I'm not a fan of his, but hip hop concerts can be a good time. I went to one of the Eminem/Jay Z shows at Yankee Stadium last summer and they put on an amazing show. Plus, if your sister dropped $1000 on the tickets, sounds like it has to be pretty important to her, so you at least owe it to her to try to have fun, right? But if there's a decent crowd, you do some good pre-gaming, and enjoy the green air :lol: , it'll be a fun night regardless...enjoy!

    In essence, you will be a version of the bored trophy girlfriend I see attending PJ shows :mrgreen:

    I advise watching some Trailer Park Boys and getting some dress cues from J-Rock :thumbup:

    Hahaha awesome. Being from from east coast Canada I know all about the Trailer Park Boys. No matter how I dress i'm going to stand out either way. Found out that travis barker is going to be there so at least I can just say I was there to watch some drumming haha.

    I figured you may have been familier with the Boys. :D I noticed that season 1 showed up on Netflix :thumbup:

    Good to see that Barker has made a recovery from the plane crash. Is he supposed to perform at the show?

    yeah, he just released a new Cd actually, and lil wayne is a singer on one of the songs, so i'm sure he'll be playing some songs from that. Blink 182 are releasing a new album in the summer too.

    and i'm glad i just got netflix a couple of weeks ago, i hope its not sensored :D
