I'm not from Chicago, but can get there in a couple hours
Have some fam there.

On the Rock in Rio DVD the prop malfunction in "Sign of the Cross" really killed the song.
It worked in Milwaukee and created quite the mood.

Jeff,

Were you there?

You seem pretty normal. That's why I asked.

The 2005 "Early Years" at Ozzfest..............was good, had a bunch of friends show up, we took the lawn.
I had been there since it opened, watched all of 2nd stage..................and partied way too hard.
Like blasted by 10 am.............yet I remember everything and didn't miss a band.

Did sleep a bit during the downtime before main stage fired up.
Brutal heat.

Wore camo shorts and a 4x4 tee of light grey.
All the cool kids in dark pants/shirts were in the recovery tents w fans, spritzers and even oxygen.
Missed everything they did.,

I'm part Mediterranean, so don't burn easy.

But that show, I got roasted. My ears peeled a couple days later, like bacon.
And then again.

Never been so friggin fried.

I was off and running around that time but I have been told those Ozzfest's were the shizz.

On You Tube, Yes..the whole show is already posted...

I'm on my way to Montana for a few weeks....

Gotcha.

If you were there and missed each other it would have been a tragedy.

I love Chicago, if I lived there would weigh 400#.
Need to hit the Greektown and get a bunch of those jaw breaker cookies like Yiayia used to make.

Never had probs in Chicago. But my guess is after a metal show the locals fear the concertgoers.
Buddy said that was the deal in Detroit.

Dem thugs don't like the devil music listeners.

A concert T is like a belt of ears to them heathens.
Local biker groups being metal heads, might have something to do with it too.

Ozzfest, Indiana...........2005.

Saw the ugliest people in various stages of undress. Tons of them.
Pretty horrific really.

HOWEVER...........one gal about my age, with her teen kid, had a BNW concert shirt on.
And she was smokin hot.

Classy gal too.

Of course me, I was single then..........and fuggin hammered.
So I just cried a little inside and got another couple of beers (2 at a time, all day).

I left in the late 90's but still visit occasionally.

Beats anything in Texas.

No worries, I will be back to go after those Peacocks by the end of August.
Gotta condo right in Miami this time. See ya then...

Bad ass.

Closing on a house around then but will try and make some time. One of my favorite things to do is find other guy's fishing spots.

Kid at pre show sporting the colors.......

Her hair is longer now, not quite 80's big hair but close.
I dunno if she will cut it all off before the show or not.

She should tease it out and just go old school for the hell of it. She would too, she doesn't give a chit what other people think.
Hell she dressed up as Negan and won the costume and trivia at a bar's TWD game night.

Her bud and her also dressed as Harry Potter characters at the last film.

She a lot of fun, we have a good time at Maiden.

Lots of parents w kids there at BoS.



I got pissed off bow season last yr and cut my hair. Itd be past my ass if I hadn't.
Really honked the kid off.

I saw them back in the very early 80's when they were an opening act for the Scorpions and have been a fan ever since, unfortunately not many of the well known bands come to Alaska. Not many bands can claim that their lead singer flies them and their equipment to all their gigs either.

I'd also like to see Metallica before they are too old to play, been a fan since 86 and have never seen them live.

The Dickenson Bio is a light read.
Seems enjoyable, I burned half of it but put it down.
Normally I start and finish a book in a weekend.

Supposed to be hot this weekend.
AC, Trooper Ale and maybe finish the book.

Found another place that stocks it, higher price though.
I really liked their "Hallowed".
Small bottles, not pints.

Was a PITA to get, have one sitting on a shelf.
I could do a case of those a day.

Reg Trooper is 4. something ABV.
Pretty tame.

Wish they'd make 666 again.

The Red and the Black porter sucked.

Have not seen the Light Brigade stuff.

Cool to hear you will be closing..congratulations.

Gotta get some mountain time in before the fires start this year, boats are outta the water and put away here, be heading NW Friday or Saturday...

Reality will probably bring me closer to mid September before I make it to Miami, I'll just be returning to Florida near the end of August. The condo I have gained access to belongs to a friend and is just sitting there empty, he seldom gets there anymore. Told me to use it whenever I wanted. I'll be hitting those canals closer to town, I'll bring my little tunnel hull, with the 20 hp Honda, it should do the trick...

BTW, I absolutely fuggin detest the Maiden song "Run to the Hills".
Thats my official get super honked off, go piss and get beer time at a concert.
Fuggin HATE HATE HATE that song.

My azzhole buddies will leave me VMs with that damn thing. Bastards.

This one?

That puts you on ignore.
