And now for something completely different...

... no, not Monty Python, but something else in my quest to experience American culture. We never had this in England when I was a kid, nor anywhere else I've lived... it's going to be quite a show and a brand new experience for me! What is it? It's Monster Jam.

With names like Grave Digger(R), Bad Habit and Bounty Hunter, you might think I'm going to see a few heavy metal bands, but no... it's Monster Jam, and it's coming to Sleep Train Arena on January 17-19. Tickets are on sale now starting at $20 for adults and $5 for children (as posted on the website today). And you can get pit passes too!

 I'll remind you about it closer to the time. Anyone want to come with me? I'll write a review after the event and there should be some photos, too. If you see that I've then replaced my truck's tyres and jacked it up, you'll know I'm hooked.

(In exchange for my blogging about Monster Jam, Feld Entertainment has provided me with complimentary tickets to the show. All opinions on Toon's Tunes are totally and utterly mine unless stated otherwise, and that has never happened.)
