Question for you car show goers.

Just went to a local show yesterday. I knew I was doomed as soon as I saw the DJ setup and Don't Be Cruel blaring over the loudspeakers. 7 straight hours of 50's Doo-wop she-bop she-boop. 
I would have left, but the show supported the local fire dept. There was also a first responder there with a nice display of 9/11 memorabilia, including pieces of the Twin Towers. So, in that case it was for a good cause. It was also my father's birthday, and he was driving up to meet for dinner. So I stayed.
But the music... 

I went through the same thing yesterday. The show was a benefit for a good cause but Sirius 50s music the entire time....

Went to the Hartford Dare car show Sunday. 78 cars. Had a great fish sandwich. got my dash plaque. As the judges got to my car at 12:15 I asked them to not judge me. I was too antsy. The Chiefs were playing opening day, and I was ready to head out to watch football. Had fun from 9-12 and met some new friends, but pulled out and cruised home.

I'll be here this Saturday with the bird. My son and I have more fun checking out the planes and inside the museum. They have a simulator that is pretty cool to operate.

I recently went to the "Rock against MS (multiple sclerosis)" fundraiser car show. Definitely an improvement as far as the music. They actually had legit bands and some name rock stars (including Gilby Clarke of GnR fame). No 50's stuff, unless you count some throwback rockabilly that was actually pretty good.

Another peeve about car shows: the food. Usually its the usual overpriced hot dogs/burgers/links and awful breakfast burritos. But at least theres some hope, as the food truck craze is improving that slowly.
