So I posted in another thread that I took my son to see the Van Halen reunion show in Cincinnati last night. The show was supposed to have been in March but was rescheduled for last night because of Eddie Van Halen's sickness.
Well, for some reason, the security and ushers at the show were pretty much keeping everyone in their own assigned seating areas the entire night. My son and I (he's 12) are in a section about 5 rows from the top! I know, nosebleed. Someone around me lights up a joint. I can smell it, my kid can smell it as he asks me what that smell is. I look around and it's the couple a row back and about 2 seats down.
I look at them and what they're doing and they ask me it I want a hit. I tell them no thanks and keep watching the show. Long story short, they keep toking off of it and blowing the smoke our way, right at my son. I ask them to knock it off and blow it the other way. That ****es the couple off and they tell me to "F-OFF."
Well, I'm like ok, whatever. The son and I go to the bathroom and I run into a Cincy police officer. I tell him what's going on and ask if he can walk around where we are to try to curb the problem. The officer tells me this, and I'm not kidding, "Man, this is a Van Halen show. Did you seriously think there wasn't going to be some weed here?" I told him, yes, I knew that, but I don't like having the stuff blown onto my son, on purpose and would appreciate a walk-through. He laughed and walked off, even after I told him I was on the job and would really appreciate it. :mad:
I was freaking ****ED. Anyway, when we went back, the hippies were gone. Apparently they saw me talking to the officer and never came back. No love for that officer - AT ALL!
