A Great (Jimi) Experience
Wow. What a musical line up.
A solid three hours salute to the musical genius of Jimi Hendrix.
Two performers I've seen many times are Buddy Guy and Robert Randolph.
Billy Cox, in the cowboy hat,
is the man who runs the 3-week 2012 traveling road show.
Billy was the bassist in two of Jimi's bands.
Of course Eric Gales, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang brought their talents to the PAC stage Sunday night.
Hey, there was no ban on cameras.
And, I was sitting in the front row.
I have a batch of photos I'd like to share.
(Click on the photos for even more details.)
Two shows in a row security ignored those of us with cameras.
And, as Daniel Tosh would say, for that, we thank you.

TOSH.2260
Daniel Tosh is the star and producer of
TOSH.O on Comedy Central.
He brought his offbeat stand-up comedy style to Charleston for the first time Friday night.
Daniel filled all 2260 seats at the Performing Arts Center.
Twice.
His target audience is the 20-30 year old crowd and they trekked north to see the situational comedian talk of everything from shopping in Charleston on Black Friday to global unemployment to handicap parking spaces for the
"lucky ones."
He started the show with a smarmy
"As many of you know, I was born in North Charleston. He continued "I went to North Charleston College and some high school I forget the name."
"My dad works at Boeing and my mom takes crap off trees and sews it into hats."
The young crowd loved it.
If you've ever seen his show or one of his concerts, you know I really can't quote much of his act.
And, for that, we thank you.

Since cameras were forbidden, I feel my shots from the 14th row came out pretty good. I didn't feel guilty because I was surrounded by I-Phones and other cells stuck up in the air taking pictures.
We were warned if you held your phone (or camera?) up "too long" they knew you were videotaping and you would be in big trouble.
I guess that means you couldn't be his "Viewer Video of the Week."

Black Friday !
It's a fine working television.
It has a "big" screen (well, 46" measured diagonally) and has served me faithfully for about 6 years.
That's a LOT of football games and Comedy Central.
Oh yeah, and PBS and the History Channel.
It never was designed to hang on the wall but, placing it in the corner worked fine.
I understand it would help the economy if I were to go stand or sit in line around midnight.
Maybe get a newer model.
They have made fantastic advances in the last 6 years since I bought this for $999.
The fad of
3-D movies in theaters seems to be winding down. Too expensive.
Don't think I would want to wear tv-viewing-glasses at home.
My comfortable chair's distance from the tv has been perfect for a 46" set.
But I believe the stores are willing to give me a much larger size for about what I paid all those years ago.
Think I'll check it out later tonight.
You can tell I'm serious.
I cleared space for something newer, slimmer and awesome.
(Clicking on the pictures makes the images bigger. Even then the old tv is still going to be only a 46" screen - measured diagonally.)
Shopping at midnight is for people who really like crowds. Saving money always keeps you warm when it's chilly.
Good luck out there!
