ummmm … it was soooo damn good
I remember the last time that I saw them I said to myself .. this is the best show that I have never been to in my whole life…. well … this one actually topped it
Obvious reasons will give it the advantage such as the venue .. and it not being an all ages shows like it was the last time.
I was able to get front and center … it was just great!

set list:

they had a double encore .. they also played songs not on the playlist hahaha
Between “Bells of Creation” and “Will you smile again..” they played “Summer of 91′” which was GREAAT and they also added “Totally Natural” before “Richter Scale” LOOOOVED IT!!!! <3
Conrad rocked the casbah! Seriously .. best show I have been to in a while.

During Caterwaul Jason went body surfing like he usually does .. LOOOOVE ITT!! HAHA
At the end …. Jason flipped over his drumset .. and in the process he knocked over a microphone stand… this microphone on this microphone stand managed to dislodge and hit me in the eye. (that wasn’t cool but after the show I told him what happened and he got me a beer lol.)

I got two souvenirs … two drumsticks .. got them signed!!! :

Here are some other pics…

Pretty snazzy … SNAAAZZZ!!

But yes .. I was very excited to meet Jason … the last time they were in town I met Conrad .. hes super cool!!
