How do you know everyone is happy to watch a band until 2am on a weeknight? I am not, and I skip those shows, as I have done for most of my adult-life. There are bigger priorities than seeing live music.
On the other hand, I know that if a show is at a huge venue it starts and ends earlier. Given that knowledge, I may choose to go out on a weeknight. If that deal is broken by the artist or venue, I have a right to be annoyed.
While I applaud your willingness to skip school, some of us have careers and clients. Our lives do not lend themselves to flagrant irresponsibility, for the sake of seeing some people play music.
I really didn't think this was that complex of an idea, but apparently it is. (Jaimoe seems to get it.)
With that post you managed to take every remaining ounce of rock n roll out of being a guns n roses fan
But really, your right, only slackers, low-lifes, and people who are not adults would ever go to a rock concert that ends past 11:00 on a weeknight. I don't even want to know the word for the person who would, (gasp), ever use a vacation day for the friday after a GNR concert.
Ollie and Jaimoe - I get you on the consessions closing - that would suck.
