TOOL

Last night was the show and it was AMAZING. I am not really a fan, but Nick is. He's been so stressed that something would go wrong and that we wouldn't get to see the show or something, but last night was pretty much PERFECT. The tickets were supposed to be mailed to us, but we found out at the last minute that they'd switched us over to will call... so we didn't know how good or bad our seats were. Well guess what. WE WERE IN THE SECOND FUCKING ROW. We could have practically touched them. The only problem I had with that was that a giant security guard kept jumping up on the fence and shouting at people and I couldn't see over him when he did that. Luckily, the crowd wasn't too out of hand so that wasn't a huge deal. Also, along those lines everyone just stood in front of their seats so there was no pushing or trampling going on which was great.

Aside from that the show was AWESOME. There were lasers, screens with images (lots and lots of eyeballs), smoke, videos playing in the background, Maynard dancing like a monkey, etc... not to mention how nice the band actually looked and sounded (I'm giving props where they're due!). That has to be, hands down, the best show I've ever been to. AND, the drummer walked right by us. I don't think anyone else recognized him, but Nick did. (Speaking of, that man has a MASSIVE set up... I couldn't even believe it). AND, the venue was pretty easy to find. AND me and Nick got the last two pair of earplugs in the place (once we saw our seats we knew we'd need them). AND, I almost got the drummer's autographed drum head, but in the process I was almost smooshed by two big guys who were also going for it. So I didn't get it. But that's ok because last night was almost too good to be true anyway.

At the end of the night we decided we wanted Waffle House. So we drive by the closest one, which, go figure, was packed with Tool fans. We would've never been served. So we got back on the road and took the next exit with a Waffle House sign. We drove and drove, then saw the Waffle House. It was the exact same one. 😂  That was really funny to us for some reason. So we just waited until we got back on I-20 to stop again. It turned out really nice, though. It was great to just relax and eat and think about how great the day turned out. We always have fun, but my goodness. EVERYTHING went well. We usually at least get a little lost or something. Anyhoo...
