Well it's been a few days since the last post but that's only because of the holiday weekend and the amount of cold beer that was put down. A good friend came in to town that I met while working in N.C. Jim is crazy. The guy now sees the world through his digital camera. I think the only time it left his hand was when he had to pay for his food. He came into town at the last minute and we decided to hit the Queensryche show on Friday night.
I must say that the first hour or so of that show was a little slow for me.. OK boring. I knew one song in that time and it was "Sign of the Times". When the show did pick up it was awesome. Someone needs to tell those guys to mix it up a little more at the beginning of the show. Met the guys after the show... super nice guys. The new guitarist is damn good. His name is Mike Stone.
Saturday was more cold ones in the afternoon until game time. Then it was off to the Dbacks game where they ended up winning and eventually swept the series from the Astros. It was my first time to that ballpark and it was a cool experience. Very nice facilities. After the game it was off to a local dive bar where we were entertained by the worst local cover band I have ever seen. I'm not sure what the deal was with these guys but damn. Some of the worst versions of 80's hair I have heard.
Sunday a few rounds at the tilted kilt and have I mentioned the girls working there are freakin awesome.
It's like one walks in and the one coming in to work next was hotter than the last. Needless to say I love that place. We had to stop drinking by about 8 p.m. since I had to be up at 4 a.m. to fill in for JR and Marci since they had the day off for the holiday.
Ended up just laying on the couch the rest of the afternoon until it was game time at Midnight. What a way to bring in the work week and get everyone pumped was the 3fer from Metallica. "Sabbra Cadabra", "Leper Messiah", and "Blackened". Calls were coming in all night which makes the night go by much faster. Even Sinnndee checked in. She told me she spells her name with 3 "N's" since she can't have 3 "XXX's" in it. Last Call was another evening of great listener reuqests like "Lumberjack" from Jackyl, Pat Travers "Snortin Whiskey", and the new Ozzy track "I Don't Wanna Stop".
