They performed some of their field show on an unmarked field (sloppy) and did a really fun comedy skit with a comedian that I really enjoyed..." I love this activity, but that skit was something I was hoping remained in the recesses of my mind. Now I'll have to go through some EMRD to get rid of it.

I will say getting in and parking is MUCH easier than getting out after the show. But that's really no different than it was at the Georgia Dome. They just reduced concession pricing and I have to say that the lines were really short. I can walk to the stadium from the Omni. Yay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of that performance with no markers on the field. I wish the audience knew just what an achievement that was with the complexity of the drill they had.

It’s pretty easy to attack people who post under their real name, like George, Dan. Jeff Ream, etc. all while using a nom de plume for yourself. Very true. I've kept mine the same since like 2003 or 2004 I think. But I've always been open with my name to anyone who asked. It's actually quite funny, I just developed an effective communications module for a client about coaching (and dealing with) the new generation of employees. MANY (and I mean MANY) don't seem to know how to have am actual conversation. Anonymity from behind a phone or keyboard has emboldened people to the point where they'll type anything to anyone with little or no thought to how it can effect other people. I used to have to actually worry about what I said because the threat of getting punched in the throat was real. Now you can tell someone to go #### their ##### with a ####### in the ########## and die and then just unfriend them. P.S. - I didn't use real words...just hashtags so trying to decipher what I was saying would be pointless. Someone will most assuredly do it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m against people who hide behind their anonymity to troll. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
