I believe I am close to being able to die a happy man. Saw The Cure last night in Charlotte, NC at the Time Warner Cable Arena (formerly Charlotte Bobcats Arena). I was about 12 rows back from the stage and could have hit any band member with the sweat flying off my brow. Thankfully, I did not.
Security was militant. No cameras allowed. When I tried to sneak a picture with my crappy camera phone I was immediately flagged down. I only got three not-so-good pics that I'll post when I can get them off my f*!@*ng camera. In the meantime, here's a fantastic Cure fansite.
Three hours worth of music. No keyboards. Just guitar. Lovely.

I remember. I got one good pic before they threatened to kick me out after telling me to put my camera away 3 times. I was in the very last row of the floor seats. Eventually I moved up to the bleachers to get a better look. People are too damn tall. I had a lot of fun! The Cure were great. I loved Porl's heels.
