I have a pretty good deal going with one of my clients. In exchange for designing materials for a charity concert he puts together every June, I have access to his VIP tickets at The National. The Shins were the first show that I saw from the heights of the VIP section. Of course since it was The Shins, the show was sold out. So, we got there early and grabbed a table along the edge of the balcony for an unobstructed view. While I do not particularly like sitting in luxury boxes at sporting events, I’d rather be in the crowd, the VIP section at the National is the way to go. You still get the energy from the crowd, have the best view in the house and it is easy to get drinks!
The Shins put on a great show. I wish that I could tell you more, but I am writing this nearly a year after seeing the concert. I do remember not wanting the show to stop and remarking that the band put out more energy than I was expecting.
