I received my tickets today too!

I'm getting excited, I wonder what the stadium will be like...

My friends want to go to Hershey Park first, but I don't know if that's going to happen. We wouldn't have much time to do the rides and it would be expensive for only a couple hours.

I think cameras are okay now because so many people take pics anyway with their phones, they couldn't control it anymore.

At msm they asked me how we got such good pictures, so I'll tell you Tim's tips for concert photos lol.
First of all, don't use a flash, and try to take most of your pictures when the stage lights are the brightest. But the key he said is to change the exposure. If you underexpose in low light the picture won't blur, and you can always lighten them later if they are dark. I don't know if all cameras are the same, but on ours he said he reduced the exposure to -1.7 and -2 for some of our shots, like the ones in the red lights.

Maybe you knew that already (but I didn't, that's why I let Tim take most of our pictures!)

Meg, I didn't know you were going!!! Where are your seats??
I think you get reduced prices on HP tickets if you are seeing a show there. Are you driving in from NJ the same day??

That was EXTREMELY helpful, Laur! I'm just thankful I won't have to hide my camera inside my ample bosoms... Laughing Laughing

LOL. Not to disappoint, but I think bowling camp will be the highlight of my summer... Sorry Sad BUT! I'd say it would definitely be in my top three highlights of the summer. Meeting fellow Mayer fans always rocks! Big Grin I know I'll have my camera!

I'm starting to get really excited now! NINE DAYS!
