It was an amazing concert! Once in a lifetime do you get to catch an Eric Clapton concert but to see it in Seoul was amazing while I was here in Korea. Went to Seoul with Doug to catch this concert and called in sick to do it lol. I can't describe how awesome it was. We got to Seoul after a 3 and a half hour bus ride at about 2 in the afternoon and headed out to Gecko's in Itaewon and had a few beers and a game or two of pool. We got a sub from Subways which was a nice treat away from the korean food that we have to eat all day everyday lol. When we got to the concert we got to our seats and met some girl who came all the way from Japan for the concert...now thats committment. Anyways the concert was great especially the encore of Cocaine. OUr seats were so close...could see Clapton sweat! It was the greatest thing Ive seen since coming to Korea. After the concert and having a bunch of beers in me we decided to steal some serious souveniers. So we stole a bunch of banners from the stadium like the one you see in my display pic lol. The one I got is totally sweet, says "Eric Clapton this way" but its entirely written in Hangul! Coolest thing EVER!...ended the night with some Burger King!...I know that dosnt sound like much to you but I love BK and its been about 6 months lol...damn good! Anyways we just chilled until 7 am and caught the next bus home to Jeongseon. Then straight to work lol...that was a rough half day lol...check out my myspace to see a clip of the concert...SICK! DUDE!...
