I'll be the first to admit I was late in discovering the magic of the Grateful Dead. Yes, I tried to get tickets one summer for a show at Foxboro, but it sold out and I didn't appreciate being offered tickets for the next show in Buffalo. If only I knew then what I know now.... but that's water under the bridge.
Regardless, I just can't rationalize spending the money to go see a show in Vegas. I want to, I really do, and I'm crushed I missed them last summer, but I can't justify spending well north of a grand to go see a few shows in Vegas. I'm pretty sure we're close to the last times these guys go on stage, but it's just not a good choice for us.
Instead we're going to go to Red Rocks this summer and see Stick Figure. This is something Merinda and I discussed before the Sphere shows were mentioned. We both want to do this and it's going to be an amazing time, not that the Sphere wouldn't be, but amazing in a different way. Red Rocks is a bucket list place for both of us and, if I'm being completely honest, is somethign I personally prefer to do over Vegas. Of course I say that having never been to Vegas so it might end up being a decision I regret, but when Jerry said he wanted to bring his wife that sealed it for me. It's not that I don't want to bring Merinda, of course I do, but she's not that into the music and we don't have the money for gambling, and I can't say "lets go to Vegas and not gamble". That's not fair to her.
Maybe we'll win the lottery and do both...
