The relationship between Grace and rock concerts and ', like that between Grace and other things, so unusual as clear.
In short: the rock concert for Grace is not 'nothing but a prologue to the dinner at the restaurant.
not that worth a gig the other, for charity '. In principle, Grace prefers occasions with a high level "rock chic", those shows, then, the band "alternative" that they play in Los Angeles or London in the audience were people like Jennifer Aniston and Orlando Bloom (Strokes, Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers), or "big" full-blown, from Madonna to Depeche Mode, or of his childhood idols like Sinatra and Duran Duran.
His absolute favorite is Pearl Jam.
In any of these concerts, however, Grace resists for about half 'show, then starts to say' Okay ', are we going? ".
Knowing my obvious reluctance with regard to the premature abandonment of the concerts that I like, now plays in advance. Before the show begins to throw them 'phrases like "I have already' hunger ', after the first 20 minutes presses regularly with questions like" How far is it? ", And at the stroke of three-quarters of an hour threat" Look the restaurant closes. "
E 'managed to listen to me Jumpin 'Jack Flash in the distance as we were leaving prematurely from the concert by the Rolling Stones, and the only one that e' and liked it until the end 'was to Kylie Minogue,' cause we knew that there would be an aftershow party with dinner included them ', the same place.
Taking advantage of the arrival in Italy of the band's most successful ever in the 70s, the Eagles, for more 'in the splendid setting of the Arena, I was pretty well organized for the first real concert not only "old" in terms of songs, but also in the way of benefiting from them.
No more hit and run, the miles run during the night to go home, the sandwich and coke for soothe the pangs of hunger, the concerts seen standing queues to get in, the hours spent waiting for the start sitting on the ground. We have already 'given. Now we enjoy the
. Here are the Ten Commandments for a true concert of old. "
1) Children placed by friends
2) Hotel booked
3) Other 2 pairs of friends, also figliesenti, merged from Rome and Amsterdam.
4) Morning arrival in Verona and lunch with friends at Trattoria Vecio Mulin, long-Adige, great lobster and other varieties' of fish.
5) nap at the hotel.
6) in Shopping center, between the shops and stalls of Piazza delle Erbe.
7) Entrance Arena 15 minutes before the concert. Tickets numbered poltronissima central line 7 near the stage, red velvet chairs

9) night in a comfortable hotel with no children from school to accompany
10) Convenient starting in the morning after a sumptuous breakfast.
Yet, despite this enviable scenario, during a highly anticipated concert, sull'inconfondibile attack "Hotel California", I felt Grace beside me, looking at his watch and said "... madonna later. You say, we begin to go So 'we avoid the crush at the exit? ".
For once, I pretended not to hear.
