I'm so glad that you got to go. Also awesome? That HDD update. DC has been really close to the two previous HDD Friday estimates that we had, so this seems awesome. And I again have to say that I just love seeing him as one of the "usual suspects" for high sales, along with Beyonce, Nickelback, and Kanye West. Awesome, cookcricket.

Even a big star like Martina McBride sold less than 3000 tickets at a fall concert there last year. Probably it would have sounded better in a smaller venue, but I'm proud of the 900 for them. There are plenty of examples of holiday concerts with big names drawing only 900 to 1000 every year all over the US.
