Fall has officially arrived and our college freshmen have almost made it through their first semester of their college careers.

Over the years, I’ve gained some insight on what to expect and how best to approach each show depending on the artist, the venue, and the time of year. With that said, here are a few tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way.
