Since 2000, every other year on March 11th ("311 Day"), 311 (my favorite band of all time) holds a very special concert event that attracts thousands of fans from around the world. The event is typically held in New Orleans. As a result, the mayor proclaimed March 11th as "311 Day" in New Orleans. However, due to a massive medical convention overtaking the vast majority of hotel rooms in downtown New Orleans, the 311 Day concert for 2010 is moving to Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV.Billed as "the ultimate 311 concert experience", 311 Day is the premiere event for 311 fans to gather and celebrate their love of the group and to witness the most exciting 311 show of the year. 311 plays an extended setlist (5 hours) of hits, rarities and covers; backed by a state of the art light and special effects show. Past shows have also included appearances by circus performers, aerial acrobats, fire twirlers, stilt walkers, jugglers, drumlines, and marching bands.
Well, I'm completely bummed. I was just doing some research online so that I could budget and make arrangements to attend 3/11 day this year—and it's sold out! Unfortunately, since the event isn't annual, the next one isn't scheduled until a couple months after my 30th birthday - I think I'll leave it on my list though, since I'll be making the arrangements before the big 3-0!
