Have you ever been to a picnic at a rock concert? It’s wonderful.
This is really one of the easiest and most fun types of picnics to take part in, and the preparation is rather simple. Here’s a few pointers though, just so you don’t forget anything:
Obviously, mark your calendar when they come to town. Call the venue as soon as you can to find out if it’s General Admission or if it’s seated. General Admission is certainly your best bet for really getting into the picnic feel. Get there early, early, early so you can get your spot and keep it.
I recommend sitting as far back as possible, preferably under a tree and with a building at your back. That way, you can rest against the building and you also get some sense of privacy, as nobody will be looking over your shoulder. And if you sit far enough away, you’ll be able to hear the music yet maintain conversation with your picnicking partner.
As usual, make sure to bring the necessary food and drink if the venue allows it; some do and some don’t. If they don’t, not to worry, as many still sell food and drinks. But if they do, I’d recommend storing everything in a cooler, as these summer events tend to get very warm.
You and your loved one can sit back, relax, and enjoy the music you love while still feeling like you’re on a little getaway.
And guys: bring your own guitar and sing to your girl as a nice little bonus for her!
