Big Boi and Vonnegutt Sponsored by Chegg's Textbooks and Tickets Tour

So about 3 weeks, Chegg surprised me along with a lot of other people when they announced that Big Boi and Vonnegutt would be performing for FREE at Center Stage in Atlanta. All you had to do was simply text a number to another number, and you wait a week or two for them to text you back telling you where to pick up your ticket. Unfortunately when I got mine I was nowhere near Atlanta, so my oh so reliable partner, Mr. Rushin, was able to pick my ticket up for me.
In the end however, we didn't need tickets because we were able to get on the Press List to shoot the concert. We had 3 extra tickets, and were able to take two other people with us. (Oh yeah, that third ticket was for Twist, but he got on the list too. After Terence and I got on first).

Um, anyway. The first act was Turquoise Jeep. For those who don't know who they are(aka, about 90% of the people who were there), they're the "Fried or Fertilized" guys. Absolutely HILARIOUS! I would post a pic that I got of them but uh....they kinda suck.

A couple other acts came on that I really don't remember, then these two DJ's came up and had THE LONGEST MOST DRAGGED OUT SET OF THE WORST HITS OF 2010 EVER. Twist expressed to everyone how he felt, cussing at the top of his lungs about how horrible it was. It was justified. It was fun after the first 10 minutes, but as minute 45 came about...my back was hurting and I wasn't really enjoying myself.

First up, Vonnegutt. I've heard a lot about these guys and I enjoy their music for the most part. They're from my neck of the woods, Marietta, which I think is pretty cool. They did about 5 or 6 songs if I remember correctly they had me and the rest of the crowd going.

And then there was Big Boi,A.K.A. Antwan Andre Patton A.K.A. "Big" A.K.A. "Francis the Savannah Chitlin Pimp" A.K.A. "Daddy Fat Sacks" A.K.A. "Sir Lucious L. Left Foot" A.K.A. "Billy Ocean" A.K.A. "Rooster" A.K.A. "Freddy Floater" A.K.A. "General Patton" A.K.A. "Hot Tub Tony" A.K.A. "Black Dog"
That's a lot of names, but this guy has a lot of clout. Of course, he put on a phenomenal show, which goes with out saying. He went through most of his old hits, a lot of his new ish, and even brought Vonnegutt out when he performed the "Follow Us" Remix. Loved that.

Hey Chegg, thanks for putting on this free show for all of us broke, ballin' on a budget, college students. And thanks for letting me rent my Geology book for a quarter of it's retail price.
