damn..I didn't quite realize how extensive this would be when I started...and this is just the shows I still have tickets from...geez. What's to come in the future? Looking back on all this, its amazing I'm not mangled, in a coma, burned-out, or doing time. To think of all the crazy times I've had outside of the concert memories.....wow.
Sometimes I think I should write a book, or at least start a cartoon series.
