Arghhh!!! Why is it that no matter how amazing a vacation is (and it was phenomenal) you've got to jump through hoops to play "catch-up", completely eliminating that stress-free feeling within 24 hours of arriving back at the office...

Hey Dave! I'm glad you found me. So I'm guessing you got the kids OK on Friday. I left about 5 I had to go to work. I always found Gino to be the coolest member of the band. I was in the audience here. [link]

Yep, got there at about 5:58... Which was gool because they charge $5.00 a minute after 6:00pm if you're late...

Cool show. Wish I could have seen them around that time but I don't ever remember them playing Windsor since they didn't get any airplay on Detroit radio.

$5 a minute is steep. Back then we used to see them all over. Toronto, Oshawa, Richmond Hill, Guelph one New Years Eve and Bala, On

Still waiting for that Goddo story.
You going to see Tool?
I'm so all over Tool! Should know if my tickets arrive in the next week or so since I didn't order them through Ticketmaster...

Sorry, I forgot about that story... I'm sure you're familiar with Greg Godovitz and his seminal CDN band "Goddo"... I was a fan for years and got to meet him a number of times, even had several beers with him on an occasion or two, he's a really nice, approachable guy. Anyways... He was playing in his "hobby" band called the Richmond Hellbillies at Toronto's Festival of Beer 2 years ago and we (The Eradicators {RIP}) were on just before him. He's got this thing for hollow body bass guitars and I was playing one that day, a fairly rare, early Rickenbacker 4005. He was all over it and wanted to buy it. And it was for sale but being worth significantly more than he had available he had to pass... It would have been really cool thinking that one of my early heros ended up playing one of my basses. I guess the whole point of the story was my brush with smarminess (several times) through one of my teenage faves the band "Goddo"!

Very cool.
I've never met the man but we're friends on facebook.
I'm dying to see Tool, but I blew my wad on U2 and Metallica tix. Hopefully I'll have $ for scalpies. That'll be a tough one to miss.
Your pics are wicked.
Cheers
Thanks, I really like yours too... I'm a firm believer in that if you just take photos the way you like to see things you can't go wrong. I'm useless if someone tells me to shoot something if I can't find an interesting way to view it...
