Styx Concert Columbia, SC~

Sunday, October 16, 2011

Columbia South Carolina... I have not seen a very large list of entertainers that are rushing to come here and put on a show? And I think its a shame. We have a HUGE artistic community who spend their weekends at the neighborhood stage performances and help to promote our local talent. Big names hit the stage over in the arena, while the smaller concerts find their way to places like our State Fair.

Last night that's where I found myself, and I had a GREAT time! This press pass thing is like the "Golden Ticket"! HUGE line out at security, no problem, just walk right in. Crowd rushes the stage at the beginning of the concert, flash your press pass and its "Right this way ma'am, I will bring you to "THE PIT". Lovingly referred to as the "photographers pit." We are only allowed 15 minutes each in the pit, but I can get capture a hell of a lot in 15 minutes! Yes, I was officially working, but how could you ever call this work?

Thank you to Holly and Greg from Blythewood for joining us! It was great to see you both again. I did manage to grab that cotton candy I had my eye on, but no corn dog. :(

Here are some images of Styx... they brought back some serious memories last night!

Sneaking out in my Datsun B210, parking out over the lake under the moon with my friends and smoking like a bad girl! Such a bad girl!!! I don't smoke anymore, but I damn sure love me some Styx!
