MONSTER JAM
7:30 p.m. Verizon Arena. $7-$37.
Most of the stuff I thought was cool when I was 10 seems pretty lame now. G.I. Joe, Thundercats, M.A.S.K., baseball cards, baseball ... I don't know, they just don't hold any appeal for me anymore. I guess you just outgrow some stuff.
But one thing holds me in thrall still, lo these many years later: monster trucks. That's right, Bigfoot, Black Stallion, Grave Digger (which will be at Monster Jam this weekend) and their colleagues are all still every bit as killer-rad now as they were in 1988.
Mainly, I think this is because these drivers actually get to do what we all secretly want to do, which is use a gigantic truck to demolish stuff and do massive jumps and flips and wheelies and so forth. And it's their job. How cool is that?
So excited about this show!!!
Ashlie deserves this great chance and I have some high hopes that they will do…
