Foo Fighters Amazon Livestream (the experience)

The Foo Fighters are my girlfriend's favorite band and also how we met after I sending her a semi-trolling reply on a dating app where she is looking for other fans telling her I saw them in 1995. 

 

After blowing off The Cult due to the venue change we are looking for the Foo Fighters 9pm Amazon Music livestream at 8:10 on my TV when a friend texts and says "What's this about the Foo Fighters playing a studio in Glendale?" HUH? Look it up, 2 different locations that I can find. One a mile away and the next another mile. I say "Let's just go" and we go. First location kinda dead. 2nd location what looks like entrance on one side, the smaller mostly residential street and see people going in. That's it! But looking for parking realize that's VIP and GA is the other side. 

 

A few people just trickling in and only 6 or so ticketless. I saw 1 get waved in and that really perks my ears up. A security guard is telling us about the different setups at the place and how they are probably at capacity, which is 205, because even employees and assistants etc can't get tickets. 

 

Then it's already after 9 when I hear someone inside say "50 unclaimed tickets." A minute later they just wave us in and another minute or so the show starts.

 

So went from thinking it's a mellow night watching the Foo Fighters that could be from Grand Rapids for all I know to being inside watching them an hour later. I don't even care but even after looking at the parking situation and she just wanted to go back and make it home before it starts on TV I was getting that feeling deep down that abandoning without effort would be a grave error. In the end it was one of the easiest times I have had going ticketless this year.
