KORN

Austin went to his first concert..KORN.  A couple of months ago Austin told us that he heard on the radio that the tickets were going on sale for Korn, so we went and bought 3 of them.  Austin has been so excited, waiting for this day to come!
The day of the concert, Vinnie got a call from a friend of his who works with the promoters that brought Korn up here.  The bass player, Fieldy was wanting to get a tattoo while he was up here and wanted it done by Vinnie that day.  Vinnie shuffled some appointments around and was able to get Fieldy in.  I took Austin down to the shop so he could meet Fieldy and get some picutres with him.

 While Vinnie was tattooing Fieldy, he was told that we would be "hooked up" for the concert.  That night when we arrived at the concert, Vinnie called his friend and they came down to a security door on the side of the building and let us in.  We avoided all lines and went straight to the front of the line for the meet and greet.  After the meet and greet we were able to go back by their dressing rooms and hang out until the concert started.  The lead singer of Korn; Jonathan Davis, does not like to have his picture taken and is super super shy.  During the meet and greet everyone was told absolutely no pictures, no cameras, no cell phones..period!  Well, while we were hanging out waiting for the concert to begin, Jonathan walked up to Austin and put his arm around him and said, "hurry, who has a camera?".  We hurry and pulled out the camera and got a picture.

Here are some more pictures of us with the drummer, Ray and another one with Fieldy.

When it was time for the band to go out on stage, we walked out with them and then went to the side of the stage and watched the concert from there.  I was so relieved that we were on the side of the stage because the concert was general admission and it looked like it was one big mosh pit, bodies being thrown everywhere, people getting smashed, etc...

Fieldy wore a Rebirth Tattoo shirt for part of the concert, that was really fun to see!  After the concert they gave Austin the guitar pick from Fieldy and he got 2 drumsticks from Ray.  One of them was used during the concert and the other was brand new.

It was so fun to watch Austin enjoy his first concert!
