Work today ended with a 911 call and an intern headed to the hospital in an ambulance after a 20ish foot fall. Very scary. I'm waiting for word on how she's doing.
So I ask you, what was your first concert?
Bobby Goldsboro at Worlds of Fun. My brother and I got kiddie roller coasters before we had to sit through the sappy concert with my parents. The first concert I asked to go to... Air Supply. I was 13 or 14 and my mom took me.
Best concert? U2 Joshua Tree tour. The entire crowd continuing to sing "40" as they dispersed to the parking was a pretty amazing experience. I couldn't begin to rank the other great shows I've seen... Sting (w/Concrete Blonde and Vinx), New Order/P.I.L./The Sugarcubes (New Order's sound sucked, but the others were fantastic), Poi Dog Pondering, Sonia Dada, Howard Jones (in 1999), TMBG, Tim Finn... oh, and Concrete Blonde in a small venue is waaay intense.
I bought the big 49 capsule box so it has 7 weeks to convince me, as long as my symptoms don't get horribly worse. (Yes, I was just reading the negative comments about it on Amazon so I'm glad to hear that you had some success with it.)
eta: Holy cow, aurelia! I hope you hear some good news soon. Wow.
Eep, aurelia. Hope it all turns out well.
How awful and scary, aurelia. I hope you hear soon.
Oh how awful, Aurelia. I hope you hear good news soon.
I also had some sucess, although I stopped taking it. Perhaps I should start again. Interestingy, while I have had the plague my IBS type symptoms subsided, but the day I started feeling better, pain in my intestines like whoa!
Holy crap, aurelia! I hope she is OK.
I am glad that costumes is one of the least dangerous parts of theatre, although I have injured myself pretty badly sewing while exhausted.
Oh, no, aurelia! I hope she's all right.
Hah! Word, Scrappy, although I admit I miss the days when he would tell stories between the songs. And the shows are shorter than they used to be, too. Still awesome, though.
When I saw Springsteen last fall he played for two and a half hours.
Of course, those were the final concerts before they ripped down Giants Stadium so they were pretty special. Each night, among other things, he played an album beginning to end. We got Born to Run. I'd been going to so many club shows at that point that I wasn't sure I'd enjoy a stadium show like I used to -- but, you know, there's a reason they don't call him "That Nice Young Man From Middle Management". My sister got to hear her favorite, Rosalita, and I got to hear Bobbie Jean. They had a new song for the shows Wrecking Ball It was pretty magical. There was so much passion and pain moving through that crowd. If heaven is not at least a little like those shows I'm not sure I wanna go.
I think my favorite concert memory is getting trampled at a Bouncing Souls show in Detroit and having to be pulled out by their overly-attractive bass player (who, having passed off bass-playing duties to one of the opening acts' bassists, proceeded to hold me in his sweaty muscular arms and share the mic with me for the rest of the song). I've had a lot of beautiful emotional sparkly shows with them and other bands and will have many more but... you know.... And it really
really
hurt but... dude... trampled in Detroit.
They satisfy all salty potato desires but since I bake them they don't have the same heart killing effect as chips or fries.
Wikipedia seems to think they're fried before you get them. [link] So do these guys [link]
Tater tots are always too hot to eat.
They're like hot chocolate that way.
I would LOVE a Pachinko machine, but I live in a house that is owned by another of the Garage Sale Kings. So there is no place to put it.
How has he not yet acquired a Pachinko machine?!?!? That's one slacker pack rat, my friend.
I found some pill-form probiotic stuff at Costco today that I'll also be trying. My tummy hasn't been too pleased with anything that I eat for about a month now. Fingers crossed that this'll help.
I actually bought Activia. I know I'll eat a yogurt every day, pills I'll forget.
Oh Aurelia! Oh that's awful.
