Sneaker Pimps Concert (6/26)


Not only did I get tickets to Sneaker Pimps for next to nothing, technically I got paid to go. So the story goes like this: I was online researching events and things to do. I found this in the MySpace Music section that posts upcoming shows. I did some more clicking around and discovered a promotion that select Verizon stores were participating in. If you made any purchase (I got a phone holster that was on clearance for $1), you get a pair of tickets to the concert. The night of Sneaker Pimps, I had an extra ticket so I sold it to a scalper outside the place for 15 bucks (he was a sketchy looking dude but I didn't care... money talks).

Before I discuss the show, I must talk about the venue, Terminal 5. This place is effin awesome. There were 4 floors with balconies looking onto the stage. There was also a roof top area lit in red (speaking of lighting, that was also one of best features of this place). Everywhere you turned there was a bar (drink prices not bad, $5-$10). My favorite thing was the huge ass disco ball hanging above. 

The Sneaker Pimps concert was a sneaker head's oasis. There were exclusive kicks everywhere on display, artists doing their work right on the spot, a gaming station equipped with xboxs's and flat screen tvs, a sneaker flea market, and free ish! Not to mention the performances including Big Boi of Outkast, Wale, Jadakiss, Clipse, the Cool Kids and many more. This was definitely a hot ticket and one of the best night's of my summer thus far.
