Tampa May 6&7- Radiohead, Busch Gardens

So, I'm freshly returned from a mid-week trip to Tampa to see Radiohead and go to Busch Gardens. It was awesome.

Despite drinking a "little" too much on Cinco de Mayo I was still able to make the drive down in just at 4 hours (no stops.)

The show was incredible. They played a nice mix of songs from older albums while still managing to get out 9 of the 10 from In Rainbows. The show was just over 2 hours and they played 24 songs. Again Incredible! Here is the setlist:

1. All I Need
2. There There
3. Lucky

Oh yeah and we were in the 4th row. We could have hit Ed with a water bottle if we had wanted to get kicked out. Great seats.

The next day Chris Beck and I went to Busch Gardens. We had gone in March and as FL residents when you pay once you get to go back all year for free. Pretty nice. Makes the $70 ticket price more reasonable now that it was only $35 a trip. When we got there we immediately rode Montu which is probably my favorite rollercoaster. It has lots of inversions, loops, and barrel rolls. And it is very long, like a couple minutes of craziness. 3,983 feet of track!!

Up next is Shiekra, the newest coaster, it is also insane. 200ft drop at a 90 degree angle is just plain crazy. But really the anticipation is the worst part...the drop isn't that bad. Check it out...but be careful people scream in the video.



All in all a fun trip. Glad to be home though.
