DevO Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I snuck in to the tent! The security guy was texting and I zoomed right in. My friend right behind me wasn't so lucky. Aretha's voice brought the thunder! Worst show set up EVER though down there by the way. Horrible sight lines (or no sight lines at all) for the 90% of the crowd who were not inside the tent that she played in. The Orbit Room was to capacity which was a bummer as I had about 15 people heading there for my bday! Went to some other place called NACO instead.
