Getting My Groove Back

[K8ling]

Well, I am heading to a concert on the 23rd with a friend from college. I am going to have to eat, and I am going to have to function throughout the night. I was thinking a loaf of udi's and some pb/jelly in my car, some larabars, and a stop at Whole Foods for coffee and breakfast. I am wicked excited about going although super nervous about the food situation!!!

Suggestions??

It's so great to feel like a 23 year old again!!!

I hate to sound like a broken record, as I have posted this before, but a lifesaver for us has been ZonePerfect bars. Not all of their flavors are gluten-free, but several are, including Double Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Caramel Cluster, Chocolate Almond Raisin, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Fudge Graham (despite the name). These are a high-protein bar so they are pretty satisfying. You can get them for about $1 each.

the last concert I went to I brought those rice crackers/Glutino pretzels and some cheddar cheese. I had some shrimp cocktail too. Good luck!

I always take Larabars everywhere. I research the area I'll be traveling to and find restaurants with gluten free menues. I play it super safe and don't eat anything unproven before the concert, pack pepto and advil just in case. Then depending on how late it is after I find a safe meal.

Something I didn't think of at my last concert...beer. Unsure what type of concert you attend but I go to metal shows and I got beer thrown all over me in the mosh pit.

Having beer dumped on me is a nightmare of mine! O_o I have a lot of meetings for work in bars so it is a definite hazard! O_o

I make up some gluten-free pasta salad when going to a concert. then eat it afterwords. It is hearty and sustains me and I don't have to worry.

Just got a visual of someone in full Haz Mat gear in the mosh pit.

I've been to 3 concerts in the last 2 months (Paul Mccartney- something to cross off m bucket list) Roger Waters performing The Wall and an Australian Pink Floyd Cover Group. I brought my own food but still seriously CC'd by all of the spilled beer around me. Bottom line is that the concerts were worth every bit of suffering i felt over the next few days. So... bring your own food, realize you might have day or two that you don't feel well but above all ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
