OKC Twitterati attacks TLO for pointing out cost of Kings of Leon concert…

4:23 PM EDT on July 1, 2019

Thursday was a long day.

I'll spare you all the boring details, but highlights included:

• Dropping my car off at the dealership to get some warranty work done
• Hanging out with my 91-year-old grandpa, who drifts in and out of dementia
• Finding out my car would need to be kept at the dealership overnight and through the weekend
• Taking two Lyft's across Oklahoma City that made me question the company's employee hiring practices
• Hosting a private trivia event for a fun group in Bricktown
• Ubering over to my dad's art show opening at Gaylord Pickens Heritage Museum
• Going home and pissing off the OKC Circle Jerk Twitter-mafia with a tweet about Kings of Leon

About that last one…

At one point during that long day, I chatted with a Mole about how much the Kings of Leon were being paid for their big free Scissortail Park concert. I had heard six-figures, but the Mole suggested it was way more. Without giving it a lot of thought – or knowing News 9 already reported the total price tag was over $1 million – I fired off this sarcastic tweet asking for more info before heading to bed.
