Saturday, I went with my friend Jodey to Six Flags (Jeannie decided to stay at home since she's not a fan of coasters- very smart considering it dropped down to the 20's that night!)

We rode the Goliath, the best steel coaster at six flags. It goes up 200 feet, but you really can't tell when you're actually on the ride. The only restraining device you get is a lap bar, but that's all you need since there are no loops.

The only other ride we went on was the Scream Machine. Although this was supposed to be the less jarring of the two wooden coasters, it still felt like driving down a dirt road with no shocks.

As we stood in line for the Superman ride, Jodey said it would be funny if when we got up to the front of the line, they said, "Sorry Folks-ride's out of order!" Forty minutes later, just as we were next to get on, a voice came over the loud speaker: "Due to technical difficulties..." We waited another 15 minutes and finally left because we didn't want to be late for that night's concert. As we made our way backwards through the line, I joked with Jodey and said loudly, "Man- I can't believe they couldn't get the blood off that seat!" (immature of me, I know ).

A car we found in the parking lot. Wow- that's too hardcore for me...
 

Like I said, the temperature dropped to the 20's, but despite that, the band put on a GREAT show. I was expecting a shorter set because of the multiple bands opening for them, but they actually played for the entire hour & a half.

Their setlist included most of the songs from Good Monsters, as well as older songs like Flood, Liquid, and Revolution. They also performed the b-side 'Love Me' --  Matt banged his head to the beat in rock star fashion.

Geeky Trivia: Six Flag's Star Amphitheater was the venue I first saw Depeche Mode live during their Music For The Masses tour- OMD was the opening act (i'm old, i know )
