Concert and Food

Concerts are always so much fun.  Even the really big ones, as opposed to small venues, have so many different cool things going on, that you really can't have a bad time.  However, today, my fries were not up to par.  Last time I went to Bethel, I had this amazing batch of fries, with the perfect blend of salt, fat, and condiments (although these were applied myself).  I was so eager to approach the stand today and receive the same experience.  You can guess how disappointed I was when all that was in the cardboard carton was grease sticks.  They literally tasted like vegetable oil when I bit into them.  The mustard and ketchup helped though, which is one of the reasons why I like them so much anyway.  They make disgusting food yummy.  Bethel Woods is one of those places where you can spend forty bucks and not know where it went.  I can actually say that happened today.  It wasn't completely forty bucks but, with all the water and fries, and pretzels and coffees (yeah I know this sounds like a lot, but there were a bunch of people with me), sums add up quickly.  You wonder why places like that charge so much for food when they charge so much for tickets. I understand that you can make so much money that way, because everyone is willing to shell out a little extra money when they're dying of thirst or hunger, but really, how much are they willing to dent your wallet?  They have no mercy, they really don't.
