While Ellie was here, we went to see the Kings of Leon at the O2 Arena.
We got pretty lucky with the tickets because the tickets I bought through Living Social were somehow misplaced. We were supposed to be on the 400 level, but since they were missing, they upgraded us to the 100 level where we could sit back and do some real quality people watching. And there was plenty of that. The floor of the arena was basically a mosh pit. Thank God they didn't upgrade us to there.
It was a pretty cool concert, but I didn't really know all that many songs. Somewhere along the way, I think I missed an album. I felt a little old because I was "that guy" that only sang along with the big hits. Unlike the dude in front of us who was so excited at every single song that his girlfriend made him stand on the other side of him so he wouldn't block her view of the stage when he got up to "dance".
Anyway, the music was really good and they put on a good show. It was kind of a mess getting out of the O2, though. It's on the far southeast (for those familiar, it is further east than Canary Wharf). It's actually not that far, but when you have several thousand leaving all at the same time and a lot of them are very drunk, it tends to add some drama. Ellie and I saw a chick fight or rather the end of the chick fight with the guys pulling their girlfriends off each other. Awesome.
Next concert up is Springsteen with Kelly & Stein. I'm fairly sure that there won't be any fights involving those two. You never know, though. That Kelly is an unpredictable one.
Check out the illumination from all the phones!
