Foo Fighters and Spamalot

Last weekend Melinda and I went in to central London to see if we could get some cheap tickets and see a West End show. We ended up getting some front row balcony seats to Spamalot, a musical based on the Monty Python movies - in particular The Holy Grail. Its main character is played by Alan Dale - that bloke that played Jim in Neighbors and also plays the big boss in Ugly Betty (yes that show with Salma Hayek in it). It was pretty funny and prompted me to keep telling Melinda for the rest of the day that 'I fart in your general direction!' (You'll get that if you've seen the movie!)

While were in town, a mate called and said that he'd just split with his girlfriend and as such had a spare ticket to Foo Fighters who were playing at Wembley that night! So I took Melinda home and turned around to head to Wembley. Now I presumed that my mate had seated tickets as it was a sold out concert and he didn't mention otherwise. So I just wore some jeans and a good t-shirt. Had I of known that he had general admission tickets, I would have taken only keys, cash and maybe one debit card, sealed them in a pocket of some shorts and worn an old t-shirt!

Anyhow, we didn't get too close to the front (you should have seen the sweat drenched people coming out of the front rows!) and it was a great concert. I didn't realise just how many Foo Fighters songs I like! Then for an encore, 2 blokes from Led Zeppelin came out and played a couple of songs with Dave Grohl (lead singer) and the drummer! Score!!!!!!!
