Uproar

 I went to Nampa Idaho Tuesday for the Uproar Festival with a friend from work. I left my house at 6:30 that morning and picked Kim up at her house in Blackfoot. then we drove to the Idaho Center. We got VIP parking so we could get out after the concert easier. For the 15 dollars extra it was worth getting out in 5 minutes instead of a hour. When we got there I got a Shinedown shirt and key chain. I also got shirt for a friend. then we found out we could meet some bands if we bought their album. then you get a wrist band. I got Shinedown and Adelita's Way. We also got Candlelight Red's poster for free and they signed that.We walked around for a while looking at things and watching some of the band play. At 3:30 I got in line to meet Adelita's Way. Kim went to meet the members of Stain. At 4 we got in line to meet Shinedown. Then we headed over to the main stage to watch the 4 big bands that were playing. One band pulled out because the singer was having surgery. so Papa Roach didn't play. I loved Adelita's Way. Staind was a little heavier then i like but they were okay. I like Godsmack before i went and they were good. But their Duel Drum solo was really cool. Then Shinedown was the last to play and they did not disappoint. Here are some of the photos i took.  (sorry they are not in order)
