I hate that we never caught back up, but hey, you got some chili! And as for the bathrooms, yeah, I never used one. I went to the bathroom before we left the house at 10:30 and then not again until well after midnight on the way home. There was no way in hell I was going anywhere near the porta-potties!

Sorry about your back. Too bad we didn’t get to spend more time at the show together, but that’s how it is when you have that many people amongst that many people...I actually did get to try a few samples of chili. Good stuff, but was afraid to try too much, given the bathroom situation...;-) Too bad you missed 3rd i blind. They rocked. I spent most of their set acting as perimeter enforcer for a mosh pit about 15 people away from the stage. A very pretty 20 something Asian girl in a wet t-shirt suggested I join those in the pit. I looked at her for a bit, thought about it for a second, then said “I’m too old for that shit”. I didn’t want to get chump bumped from behind and end up in traction. So I just helped form the perimeter of the pit and pushed ‘em back in when they needed it. Fun stuff. A young girl who was crowd surfing got thrown in the air over the heads of the dudes forming the pit perimeter to my left and she landed pretty much on the back of her head in the pit. She made a hurt face as I pulled her up, so I asked her if she was ok. She said yes but kept stumbling backwards into the crowd. I wasn’t sure if she had a concussion or if she was just in a hurry to get out of the mosh pit. Then I saw two dudes who looked like they were well into their 50’s crowd surfing...I’m too old AND too heavy for THAT! All in all, great fun and great music! Thanks for inviting me!
