ERIC CHURCH IN SASKATOON 2013

so on tuesday the 7th, i went to the eric church concert in saskatoon. seems like all of canada saw him in a week and half the province was trying to get to the arena for the show. i had a vip package and for whatever reason (probably because they had teenagers running it) they gave me two packages instead of one, which meant two shirts, flasks, signed posters, and laminites. the preshow party was in the backstage lounge which had a merch stand, food, liquor, and a stage for the party. they were playing songs from eric church's ipod (he has very good taste). he came out at 730 to play a couple acoustic songs, which one of my favourites (two pink lines) was one of them. after that, i went down to the pit to stand and wait just a couple minutes for colt ford to open. loved that he wore a blades jersey, hated that he didnt sing "ride through the country", "mud digger" or "drop zone theme song" haha. finally eric came on and the whole fuckin rink lit up... never seen so many country people in one place. he played every song i hoped he would and gets pretty rowdy (like anyone would...) during his set. overall it was a sick concert, and what came after (#liquor) topped it off.
