| Indy 500 - Carb Day Concert Stone Temple Pilots Friday May 23rd 2008 |
Koz drove all the way here from Detroit only to go to Carb Day!
Unfortunately it rained the entire day and the Indy Lights race was postponed.
The Pit Stop Competition was cancelled and the IndyCar drivers did not get to practice much.
ET also drove down from Michigan, but he is staying for the race.
Michie went with us and was our designated driver.
We ended up spending the afternoon at my house, watching the weather channel.
Since the concert was rain or shine, we drove to the track in time to catch the Stone Temple Pilots concert.
We parked south of 16th street for $10. There were a lot of people leaving as we entered - some required a
helping hand to walk, as they were obviously intoxicated.
They moved the stage this year to an area inside the road course, north of the museum.

Koz bought a turkey leg. After he ate it, we began working our way closer to the stage.
There was a TV monitor to the right of the stage.

Besides lots of girls lifting their shirts, there was some slam dancing going on,
which I found out is actually pretty fun. It didn't last long and no one got hurt.
There was also an illegal Ultimate Fighting ring going on back in the crowd
and some guys were definitely getting hurt there.

STP totally rocked and also came back for an encore. The rain let up once. It was one
of the best Carb Day concerts ever! Some people complained about certain statements
STP was making to the crowd about settling down, such as "Remember, there are some
kids here." What about the tear gas guy?
I had a cookout party planned at my house for after the concert and needed to get going.
But ET took off without his cell phone and disappeared for an hour while Koz, Michie and I
waited at the car for him to show up. My house was locked up, so people were showing
up and waiting on us. Oh well, its not the first time.

| Me I don't know who she is. |
These two were standing on coolers near the stage and fondling for a long time

A couple of these uniforms stood above the crowd the whole concert holding some type of rifles.
Was it tear-gas, rubber bullets, or live rounds?! Were we in the Midwest or the Middle East?!
