I bought Peter and I concert tickets to go see Lords of Acid (his fav) and Orgy (my fav). These two bands just happened to be on tour together, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I also had purchased a pair of tickets for our friends Chris and Wendy, but they had to back out the last minute. I did some research online and found out this concert was an all-ages show. Perfect! Peter and I decided to take the kids. Clifford was not interested at all, so he stayed home while Kristjan came with us to his very first concert. We stopped at Paseo for dinner (Caribbean food) before heading over to the venue. Peter and I splurged and bought Kristjan a t-shirt. I made sure to grab us a spot in the front row, which is where we stayed the entire night. Kristjan complained how he wanted to sit down. I told him "sorry, rules are once you're in front you never leave". He ended up being fine. He made a friend with one of the photographers there shooting for the concert. The people we were standing around with thought it was awesome of us for bringing Kristjan. The opening acts were definitely on the mature side, but we explained to Kristjan it's more of a shock-an-awe effect at the show. It honestly didn't bother him. There were some moments where I could see he was giggling and looking at me to see my reaction, but I didn't give one. He honestly was more fascinated by the flame effects, the lighting effect, and makeup. And the best part of the ENTIRE thing, was the drummer of Lords of Acid came down the stage at the end to hand Kristjan his drum stick! AND Kristjan ended up getting the set list signed by the members of LOA! AND I posted on the LOA facebook page about how awesome they made our son's first concert experience so amazing, that LOA re-shared it and we got so many props from around the world on how cool Kristjan was and how cool his parents are. NICE!

The first opening act. Kristjan is in LOVE with this.

Second opening act. We all though this chic looked just like Aunt Kim, especially once she removed the mask.

Orgy! OMG I loved this ban as a teen, constantly listening to their albums. Was so exciting to see them live. I rocked out hard (felt it the next day lol). And they were pretty good live, very engaging with the audience.
Lords of Acid!

LOA re-sharing my post!
I caught the drum stick from Orgy!
