First off, Cappy...sorry to hear of yer troubles, sometimes it feels like that's all a person has when it comes at you like that....but chin up....things do get better I guess with time. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you...
Darl...yes, yer right, that picture HAD to be seen, lol!!! It's even saved on my phone now, LOL!!!! Yes, I might be sick, but it was an even sicker friend that sent it to me on mah phone, lol!! (You know who u are :)
elpp.....I'm totally crushed that chelle beat me out as yer favorite....LOL!! I've been telling her fer years she needs to WRITE A DAMN BOOK!!! She's the modern Erma :D
Don, the two people in line ahead of us, husband and wife, they were totally cool and helped hold the line with us....wifey was sooooooo rockin out through the whole show, she totally loooooves Sammy, lol!! But all the other drunken fools put a damper on the night. I'm really sorry for u if u do know any of them! I don't blame Darl for not wanting to go back there for a show. I think the only way I'd do Tahoe again is if I bought premium tix so I could be at the front...those peeps dint get bothered by the eegits cuz the rest of us behind em held em off all damn night!! Great venue, and beautiful place for a show...it's just a damn shame people gotta go to a show and get wasted and ruin it fer peeps around them! But still....GAD DAMN GREAT SHOW!!! And sorry for yer hard times too....I have hopes that things are gonna turn around for the good ole US, but it's gonna take time. We all get to tie a knot and hang on meanwhile.
As to waiting in line all day and still only getting 3rd or 4th row...I'm with chelle on the premium ticket deal. We aren't alone in that we're very devoted fans who are willing and happy to stand in line all day....that's HARD on the body, lemme tell ya!! But we do it cuz we love Joe and wanna be as close as possible to the action on stage...and those peeps who can afford the $350 per ticket get to just walk up at 4 or 5:00, walk in and grab all the best spots. I guess if I had that kinda monies, I'd always do premiums fer Joe-shows, but I can't so I don't. It takes a lotta $$$ just to do what we do when u figger in travel, hotels, meals, etc.
What's irkin me at the moment is that I'm checking out tickets for the Berkeley show...still some available...in the nose-bleed section...and my fault for not buying tix the second they went on sale, but I did try and even THEN the seats were pretty far back, so I went with Tahoe instead. BUT....there ARE tickets available closer up, like in the Orchestra section or just behind...if you wanna pay the GAD DAMN SCALPER prices of $250 or more EACH...some are going for $500 EACH!! How the HELL do they get ahold of these tickets when the rest of us can't????? That totally pisses me off!! They are even selling "lawn" tickets fer well over $100 each, when I could still buy them fer $40ish if I dint care about the distance. That's effin WRONG. I thought Tickemaster did the code thingie on their site to prevent mass buying of tickets by scalpers, but obviously somethin ain't right! When you go online and hit "find tickets the SECOND they go on sale and yer still 25 rows back....shit man!!
K, nuff bout that, cuz I still have my Joe-and-Chickenfoot-glow on, LOL...
Roo, glad yer gonna make it to see these guys, you so will NOT be sorry...incredible show!! Travel safe and enjoy yer entire holiday with the family...are they all going with you to the shows too?
I NEED MORE CHICKENFOOT!!! I betcha Joe is gonna be sad to see it come to an end....but hopefully only for now, this is too damn good to not get back to it!!
Meanwhile, what's next Joe? Holiday? Down time? or......?

The addiction is fierce!!!
As for sending you that pic on the phone, I get an extra point for doing it while you were driving :-) Maybe next time you go for a long ride, I'll have the pic cropped and zooooomed and send it to you again! lmao!!!
I wish I still had the pic of Kirk Hammett in a shower cap. That was hilarious!! I taped that on the rear side window of my now ex bro-in-laws Bronco as we drove to NJ to see the Load or Re-Load tour. Of course you always get in major traffic jams going to/thru/from Philly, and the reactions from the peeps in the other cars were hilarious! Good times man, good times!

Diamonds? Well my wife is a diamond and she is this boy's best friend.
Actually there are a few diamonds on here. I hadn't intended to grumble about my lot, I try not to as there are lots of folk with far more difficulties than me.
But now I come to think of it, MY SHOES ARE TOO FECKING TIGHT!!! LOL

Hi everyone, sorry we lost everyone and couldn't say goodbye, probably means we will see each other again!!! We left Tahoe around 11am and got in our door at 1am. Still in a bit of a whirlwind so the Mrs and I will post reviews and pictures later. Glad everyone made it home safely.

Brian - WOW GREAT PICS!!!!!! They tell more than a thousand words...first you got to see Joe come in and do his soundcheck etc, 2nd I didn't realise it was an outdoor show? Surely you guys would have been trying to get his attention did you wave and go nuts whilst he was setting up??
I'm going to look at the pics again tonight from home, just had to quickly post now to say how good they are.
Also tonight will be checking out some great vids of someone who was front row.
Mind you the puter at home is not well, have to get it looked at.
edit - Al: what is "infortation"?? LOL, nice site buddy, just need to check spelling.

These are just some thoughts I had after the show and during our drive home Tahoe.
1. I really enjoyed meeting the T2J'ers
2. I really really enjoyed all the CLEAVAGE from the people watching and walking through the casino's, lol
3. I've been kicking myself for not going to the backroom Five minutes earlier, I would off bumped into Joe walking down the street into the venue. I spotted him first but I guess I just couldn't believe what I was seeing, that's when I pointed him out to everyone else and Mahavishnu got the pictures he got.
4. I waited five minutes to go to bathroom and I did basically bump into Sammy and his entourage of big dudes coming out of Harvey's. And no it wasn't the Sammy lookalike.
5. Being a hardcore Satch fan, or as Do The Stu called me "the oldest T2J'er of our bunch" I've been replaying going to the "loo" earlier and getting to show Joe my "Surfin" tattooe and asking him if I could walk in with him for his soundcheck. Of course he said yes, and I got to invite my friends!!!!. Oh well back to reality.
6. I hope that we (me and Shannon) get to do this again soon.

Skippy, it just wouldn't be Al's site without his misspelled words. lol! It is a lovely site though :-)
Chee-Toes, holy fuckaroni, you peeps DID get sunburned. I had no idea the line was outside because you were talking about being inside the casino and the stores. I was thinking it was like the HOB. Aww, poor babies - the whole lot of ya! Chrispy got Chrispier!
It's funny watching the vids cause I WAS THERE! lol! I feel like I was locked in the bathroom & missed the show but heard it through the door. lmao! Aww, I bet that's what the kids feel like that show up to the 21+ shows and can't get in...cept I wasn't expecting to be there but I was :-) Tanks again fer dat!
Brian, great pics! Hope yer sunburns aren't to bad... but it looks like it hurts. Glad you guys had a great time! Who's in the group picture? See if I'm right - Debbie, T, Chris, Austin, & Freddy?? HA!! Just looking at that pic again, it looks like that hand is on Chris' butt. lol! Ahh, and T has her McKenna original by way of JJ purse on!
As for how long Mike's been Joe's tech...I don't remember ever seeing anyone else, but then again in the beginning '97, I wasn't watching for that.
bbuffalo, you do realize that yer now just as luni as Tracie driving all that way! The whole bunch - luni as they get. lol!
Joe, you REALLY have to start playing shows in Oregon!! Preferably southern Oregon! Preferably within a 20 mile radius of Klamath Falls. Please & thank you!
edit: looking at that pic again, I don't see a pocket in Tracie's shirt, so it looks like I owe her dinner. lmao!! Thank yer twins fer meh T-Bones! They done good!
OOO, and Chris is wearing one of his prezzies from AC!! lol!
Are you texting me? lmmfao!!

As God is my witness....Pennsylvania is on the cusp of 21st century high-speed train transportation technology. This is where the next government stimulus money needs to go! Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!
Michelle---Ain't it exciting to live in a state where a transportation career awaits you if you seize the educational opportunity and design a resume that shows what you've got and can give to the new 21st century bullet train industry?

cheese; lol don't feel sorry for us, like i said we know of them, don't want to know them. hard times all around, i just call it "life". we always stand in line for hours on end. Darl always has to be up front and since we aint rich standing for hours is usually the only way. scalpers always have a way to get what they want. including but not limited to having people on the inside to get stuff for them. at least Joe won't worry about getting hit in the head with flying drum sticks for a while. thanx for the vids.
great pics Mahavishnu: was anyone else on stage! lol just kidding.
cappy: you got a diamond too! no problem with the grumbling here. we all gotta do it sometime. besides you got it right, whenever you think you got it bad, look around you and i'm sure you won't feel so bad.
bluebuffalo; sounds like an awesome experience!

I would do it again next weekend, the T2J'ers lots of good vibes off of them, and the music speaks for itself. So does the free cleavage everywhere. :- )

Hi everyone,
Happy Labor Day to you all. My 10 Mile Run Saturday went all right. They put me & the other 10 mile participants together with the 10K & Half-Marathon particpants (huge crowd). Anyway, there were 60 running the 10 Mile & I finished in 3rd place overall. My time was 1 hour, 4 minutes, & 47 seconds (6:29 mile per pace). I also got a plaque for finishing 2nd in the Open Division. The guy who finished 2nd overall got the 1st place plaque for the Masters Division, which moved me up a spot in the Open Division. Next run: Fort-4-Fitness (Half-Marathon).
Thank you everyone on my job at the guitar store. I don't play, but I might someday. I get to clean & tune them, as well as let customers know more about them (acoustic or electric). It's a pretty cool job when you're a sales rep. I've already sold three guitars and a tuner, and I also get to box them up and mail them to buyers . We'll have more coming in by the end of the month.
Michelle & Tracie: I enjoyed listening your intakes at the Tahoe gig (lmao). You both should write a book together about your experiences with Joe or whatever. X-D
Skippygirl: Another good run for me & your critique still works. Thanks a million. :-)
Mahavishnu: Cool pics Brian. Do you have a favorite?
Well, gotta run. I got some Christmas shopping to do. THAT'S RIGHT!!! I'm doing mine now to get it done so I won't be in the mad/Black Friday rush. Maybe I'll listen to Joe's Silent Night/Holy Night Jam. Chat with you all later. See ya everyone.

Peace Lily - Awesome...I'd love to catch a show at the Gorge someday.
I'm seeing DMB four times this week...twice at the Greek Theatre LA, once in Chula Vista, and once in Irvine.
That'll make 21 Dave shows, good for second place behind my 25 Joe shows. ;-)
...Austin...

You do have a full week ahead of you. That is alot of DMB. But I suppose you can never have too much.
All the ChickenHOE peeps ...Thanks for sharing the experience with the rest of us . Looks like it was a great one.
