B.o.B. and Ace Hood 10/6/13

This Sunday marked the return of a concert to my campus, and for weeks I had been waiting in anticipation to see B.o.B. and Ace Hood perform, as well as to meet them.

I ended up going with one of my friends from work, which was really good, because I probably would have gone crazy waiting the amount of time I did for them to show up. We got to campus around 1, expecting them to pop up around 3-4. The plan was to meet them, get something to eat, then head back for the concert. As many of you may know, this hobby often throws curve balls, and the plan ended up not going how we thought whatsoever.

After waiting a long time, we just decided to call it quits for a while and get something to eat. We were actually able to eat where there was a view of the dressing room, so if we did miss them coming in there would still be a chance. After killing time eating, they had still not shown up, so we decided to just walk around for a while longer.

The concert was set to kick off at 7:00, but by 6:30  neither artist  had shown up yet. We decided to just cut our losses(time mostly) and just get in line to get in. The line was ridiculously long, and all of a sudden my buddy Dennis said he saw a blacked-out Escalade go around the corner. We walked over quickly to see what was going on, and it was actually what seemed to be a manager/crew heading in. None of the people were the artists, but we knew that they would most likely be arriving soon after, so we went back to our original spot. 5 minutes passed, and an identical vehicle pulled in. Another minute or so went by, the driver opened the door, and Ace Hood stepped out. He came right over to us when I asked him, and he was as cool as can be. He had no problem signing my two CD's.


Another 5 minutes passed, and a huge Mercedes van pulled in, and it was obvious that Bobby Ray was arriving. He stayed in the van for maybe ten minutes, then came out and signed no problem as well. He even chatted with us. He was really nice to us, which I had heard would be the case, but may also have to do with what was going on in the van.

All in all it was a long day, but we got to see an amazing concert, meet two great artists, and accomplished what we came to do.
