I'm going to the October 28 show . . . also by myself. I live in the Atlanta area, and I'll be stopping off in Virginia to participate in a dog show on Saturday. Amazingly enough, I couldn't find a dog show person who wanted to skip the Sunday show for the concert, and I couldn't find a Bon Jovi fan who wanted to make the drive from Atlanta to New Jersey with a detour to the dog show!

I almost talked myself out of the concert, but I decided to go for it. I'm calling the whole excursion my "Mid-life Crisis" trip! Now if I can just find a safe place to park my van full of dogs during the concert . . .
