I told you that I would elaborate more in another post about my weekend... because it just deserved it's own post.
Friday night we headed down to New Jersey, to stay with some friends before the concert on Saturday. We went to the XTU Country Concert in Camden, NJ. We had to get up early to beat traffic the next morning and headed out around 9:30 in the morning to get to the concert.. which was really only 20 minutes away. Traffic wasn't too bad and we arrived and started to set up our tailgate party.
The parking lot wasn't too full (yet) and it was actually a lot of fun.We hung out, drank beer, played some games, met some people around us. It was a good time.
By lunch time it was definitely crowded, the whole parking lot was full.. must have been hundreds of people there tailgating for the party... only real downside?
There were only 3 bathrooms! I'm talking bathroom stalls. Luckily, we were smart enough to bring our own tippee.. because there was none to be found. You had to hide that shit, or people were on you like white on rice to get some. We could have totally sold that for like $1 a square..(ideas for next time?)

By around 3 pm.. things started getting crazy. You put a bunch of drunk rednecks together, you're bound to have an interesting time... a rowdy time. And rowdy it got.
There was a group across from us that actually brought things just to smash. Just for the hell of it I guess.. they brought an exercise bike and an old TV.. talk about crazy. They started smashing this stuff like there was no tomorrow.. and like 20 people got in on that action. It was entertaining to say the least.
But after everyone was all hyped up.. it just went downhill from there. Before we new it, we were watching an all out brawl in the middle of the parking lot with like 25 guys. All we saw were elbows flying, and don't forget the glass beer bottles. Insane.
People were acting like it was the end of the world... I've never seen anything like it in my life.
As the fight started making it's way towards us, we kind of hid behind the cars... but luckily the police showed up. Two on harleys, 2-3 walking behind them with RIOT GEAR.. <> and another behind them, and he was the k-9 unit, with this big old mean black German Shepard, who was lunging at people.
HOLY CRAP.
It took them awhile to get it under control.. and I'd look around and just see more and more fights starting in other areas.. it was never ending! There were ambulances and medics running all around. People were getting hurt, some seriously injured.
It was time for us TO GO.
It was a 10-15 minute walk to the center where the concert was, so we packed up and headed out. (All the while yelling at people who were getting on our cars, and doing stupid stuff. People were hooligans) Oh, we also had to make a pit stop for the SERIOUSLY drunk guy beside our car who looked like he was going to die.. I kid you not. We found a paramedic and told him.. and you know what he said? "We have a lot of kids like that right now, we don't have time."
WOW.... that's when we saw the guy he was taking care of... blood from head to toe who had been stabbed with a beer bottle!!! OK.. really time to go.
We finally got to the concert, and besides it being totally crowded, it was actually a good time. I got to see Chris Young who I love, and Uncle Kraker, and Jarred Neiman. It turned out to be an overall exciting, crazy, scary, fun day.. all jammed into one.

We all got totally burnt. |
Sitting on the lawn watching the concert. |
ohhh blue skies. |
After the concert
was done, we were hesitant to go back to our car, we had no idea what it
was going to be like. The parking lot was pretty much empty, besides a
few stragglers. But, here was the after math of the "party"
Insane-ness.
And that was my eventful weekend
