ZZ Top or: Why I missed Laguna Seca (Not 56K Friendly)
#1
There's this thing called JackFest. ZZ Top was headlining it.

My Dad's favorite band is ZZ Top, so when he saw that they were coming to town he up and bought front row tickets and back stage passes. It also happened to front row seats for the Stray Cats, The Pretenders, and REO Speedwagon.

I didn't have to move from my seat to get the pics... the seats were THAT good.

The Stray Cats:

And the REAL show - that Little Ol' Band from Texas:

First - our seats. My Dad and I stood up and turned around - that's exactly where our seats were. It was pretty fantastic.

I also got the meet the band, have them sign my pickguard (which is now back on my bass and not going to be used again.. I've already got a replacement). We also had a picture taken together - I'll post that whne they're online.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Holy shit! Are you the result of some sort of mad-scientist cloning experiment?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Yeah, you'll be able to tell even better when they publish the backstage photo. They're definitely getting up there. And Chrissie Hines... she should just stop.
