... the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix?

I'll be going (this is my first ever F1 GP)

I'll be proudly wearing my MM T shirt - so if you see a short balding guy wearing a MM T in an F1 environment, come over and say "hi"

hey cool, have fun!
I´m a big F1 fan but never went to a GP, though I visited some F1 Tracks.
As said, have fun and maybe we will see some pics from you. So, if you wear your MM Shirt, there´s always MM content

Watching qualifying now.........I haven't recognized any knuckleheads on tv.

I was there today - front row right on the hairpin bend by the North Grandstand. Unlikely you'll see me from the camera that is operated on a huge boom and pans the cars around the bend, but prolly never catches the crowd.

Anyways, after the practice session I went to get a bite to eat and overheard two girls talking saying "Yeah I'll be at the concert tonight, Nickel somebody is playing lol".

Anyways I make my way back to my seat to watch qualifying, and two promoters come around the stands giving away "Gold area" passes to the "Nikel somebody" concert. They were getting the crowd to wave and holler and were giving out these passes. I'm stood up right at the barrier as far away as you could be - I wave and point to my Musicman T Shirt (giant MM logo), and through his tannoy he says Hey Musicman you want some and I say you betcha!!
So I end up with best seats in the house for the Nickelback concert.

I leave after qualifying and ask when the band will be on and we are told 9 ish. Hell I didn't fancy waiting 3+ hours so on the way out I notice two young guys and ask if they are going to the concert - Hell yeah you betcha we're going!! So I say want the best seats in the house? - I have these (pointing to gold area pass).

Well you'd think that I had given them the earth and I left to get back to Dubai from Abu Dhabi. They are prolly rockin' out as I type this?

Just got back and hats off to KIMI.

Cool story JD. -I didn't bother to stay for Eminem - now if it had been The Who, that would have been a different story.

If anybody has the chance to go to an F1 Grand Prix then go - the sound and smell is just awesome.
