spectacle: no love for the monster jam

Now and again, there's nothing like a bit of off-the-beaten-path entertainment:  professional wrestling, a gospel festival, Olympic gymnasts on tour, etc.  Not only are these events fun in a straight-up way, they provide fascinating glimpses into their fan base and surrounding subcultures.

Today the younger son brought home a coupon for $9 tickets to the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam.  My cave-brain - the part that likes poking fire with sticks and driving over broken HP laptops - thinks a monster truck rally might be fun in a Puny Humans - Hulk SMASH! kind of way.

but I can't get any of the kids interested.  and there's no WAY i'm going alone.  oh well.
