More than one reason for me to take to the boys from D-Town but, suffice it to say that the HATED Giants are getting NO love from ME and, of course, there is our EPIC adventure of a few years ago that has endeared me to your hometown for the rest of my days!!!! Now then, ROOOOAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what sucks? I could have planned a Dio Disciples show up there. They play on a Saturday and I have Sundays off.
It would have been perfect. I may try to hit a show in the spring. I'd hate to run into a storm during the winter. I was checking their line-up
and other than that masked band (lol) and D. D. there aren't too many bands scheduled that would make me drive to Detroit
to see them. I'll get a show in though and I'll try to get a picture and maybe video for youtube. Peace.

Oh yeah, and get there on time. There are no seats on the main floor (some round tables and bar stools usually sit in back) and the stage is really tall so you normally can get as close as you want. Read this to say "as close as the massive bouncers allow!" During the Resurrection tour, I could have literally jumped up and smacked Metal Mike on the boot!

Couldn't tell you how many bands I have seen there from Halford, to Slayer to Motorhead. You name it. REALLY small, you stick to the floor from all the beer, it is almost on an expressway in the hood. You typicaly park your car and run to the door! LOL! Type of place where the women often take over a stall in the men's bathroom when the line is too long for theirs. No man dare cross them lest they get a leather spike to the head!
In other words, it is HOME!

Yesterday when I made the post below I didn't mention that I bought VIP for Dio Disciples.
Basically, kept it to myself for two reasons. One, I didn't think anyone would care and two, I did it without
knowing what VIP involved. I emailed the venue last night and received a reply today. It made me
very happy. First the VIP tickets were only 40 dollars. Also they include a Dio album/CD(?) autographed
by the band. A picture with the band with a meet n' greet, a guitar pick, and a chance to win an autographed
guitar from the band. MRH VIP was 80 bucks and didn't include a meet n' greet or autographs. (Didn't buy it)
Anyway, I can't wait until this show. They were so awesome last year. If anyone here has a chance, GO. You
won't regret it. Peace!

Can't wait til Saturday.
I've seen Mushroomhead 9 times in the last three years the last being in May and
yet it seems like it's been forever since I've seen them. Saturday I get my fix.
The annual  "Halloween" show in Cleveland. I can't wait.
...also, I saw where Dio Disciples are doing more dates. Some in Texas and California
and other parts of the U.S. as well. If any of you get a chance to see this and if you were a fan of Dio
I highly recommend this show. I saw them last year and thought they were fantastic. Ripper does most Dio well.
They changed the bass player and the keyboardist but I can't imagine it won't still kick ass.
 ...go see this show!!!
Ripper's own "Tap House" (Akron, Ohio) in November. I'll be there. |

What an idea - no more food sitting there waiting for you and all cold because you were out of the room for some test or something when they brought it. And I've heard that it's actually pretty tasty as well. Hospitals finally figured out that people have a choice in where they go and food is a major complaint so they are making a change for the better. That only took how long?

Thanks again for the relay, HRMG, please keep 'em coming. Phil: the FB-phobes are pulling for ya buddy!
About the helicopter insurance, even with it just think of the nightmare in terms of logistics. Provided you can first afford it, you then have to be of sound mind to say that you have it BEFORE being admitted to the hospital. As you know, once formally admitted, you are theirs until they discharge or transfer you. Provided that the proper stars are in alignment and that your "life threatening injury" isn't so bad that you aren't able to give verbal (perhaps written as well) consent to go to another hospital, you best pray that the only helicopter isn't in use, the guys are around AND that the weather isn't bad (always something to keep in mind in tornado-land)!
That is why I try not to have my arms ripped off by a thresher. If I do, I'll be sure to check all of the variables mentioned above first. Oh yes, and be sure to practice signing my name with my toes.

Sad but not uncommon. The select few who can afford it here pay for additional helicopter insurance.

Same problem with me. Either that or I was STARVING and the meal was still hours away..... I always felt bad asking the nurses to get me a snack, but there is nothing worse than a very hungry new mom

Ahh that system of order when you want to eat sounds great HRMG! Would have been idea when I was in hospital after my c-section, cos inevitably when a meal got delivered Ada decided it was her food time so my meal went cold.

WHAT?! Now that is just silly! LOL!! Normally,I'd ask what you call a "dairy" but they haven't really existed since I was a kid. Back in the stone ages when you could count on the milkman to deliver all sorts of dairy products (in the milk chute, of course, that eventually gave way to the milk box in my house) and the most popular store at Granny's house was "the City Dairy." While I suppose you COULD buy milk there, I never got past the ice cream counter. YUM!
