I'm not jabbing at you sev, just rambling about getting old haha.

No, no worries man. I feel the EXACT same way. Shows are a goddamn headache most of the time. In my 20's, there was rarely a week that went by where I wasn't either playing in or attending a concert or two. I saw hundreds of bands back then. But now, there are only a few artists that I'd bother to travel to an arena for.
Kanye West is #1 on that list, because I've never fucking seen him. I caught some glimpses of his set at a festival many many moons ago, but I wasn't into him at the time, and I was actively avoiding his performance, so I certainly don't count that.
I totally know where you're coming from. I actually don't relish the idea of crossing state lines to see a big show in a fairly unknown area, but I strongly feel that I need to see Kanye West while I still can. Last several years I've kept a pretty low show-going profile, seeing "smaller" acts only, like Low and Swans a few times each, and old faves like Melvins or Ghostface when they come around.
I'm pretty goddamn pumped about this though. seriously.
