Rob Thomas Concert Report

Rob Thomas Concert Report – A coworker gave me a couple of tickets to the Rob Thomas concert (thanks Douglas!) at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. I’m not a huge RT fan, but I do like a few of his songs, so I got JB to come with me. Here’s our report.

1. All RT fans are white. Or Asian.
2. Asians often are seen in places with white people where other minorities wouldn’t be caught dead.

3. RT fans are easily tired. When RT first came out, the whole audience stood up. Exciting! Then during song three, we got tired and sat town.
4. JB was forced to use a men’s restroom. Women require more restrooms, person per person than men. The person who develops the technology to decrease womens’ average bathroom cycle time will be RICH!
5. RT has a magnificent earring. Even from our seat a quarter mile from him, it glistened like the Queens crown jewel.
5. RT’s av man should be shot. RT had this really lame digital diaplay behind him that had pixels so large that I was actually able count them. There were 5 panels, each one 50×10 pixels. I think the whole thing was driven by an Atari 2600.

All in all, it was well worth it. I enjoyed the concert, and Rob Thomas sang like a bird.
