We just met the entire band in the hotel this morning in Cleveland!! Glenn and Richie talked to us for quite a while and Glenn asked about our sons. We waited another hour and then Rob came down the elevator. I know he was running late to get to New York, but he stayed and talked to us anyway. He is such a gentleman. Mark told him that I'd been waiting 29 years for a hug and he said, "Well come here - I wouldn't wait 29 years!" But it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT let me tell you!! The entire band signed the banner that we made too. What a perfect way to end our triple Priest feast!!
And I don't care what people say about Rob's voice - at all 3 shows that I went to from where I was standing he was F'ING AWESOME!!! People around us were going nuts and in complete awe by his incredible voice!

WW II avaition has always been a hobby of mine, but to actually experience some of what our boys went thru back then really cannot be conveyed into words.
Can`t wait until May next year, going to do it again in a B-24 Liberator, finances allowing of course, becaue this wasn`t cheap.

I'm not sure too many care about my football posts so I'll (try) to make this my last one for awhile.
I went to the Pitt Panthers/Cinci Bearcats game yesterday in Pittsburgh. I went up so I could watch Cinci
quarterback Zack Callaros. He played for Steubenville a few years back and went 30-0 with two state
championships. He's a senior and this was probably my last chance at seeing him play football so I had
to go. Man, what an awesome game. He got hit early in the game and was laying on the field and I thought
he was done. I was devastated and was considering leaving. He came back on the next series though
and ended up having a decent game (-2 interceptions). Early in the third Pitt was winning 23-10 and I was
starting to think it was over. They came back however, getting an interception and a fumble recovery to
take the lead early in the fourth. They had to hang on at the end. Pitt's final drive started on the 16 yard line
and they drove all the way to the 33 in less than two minutes. With (about) 14 seconds to go Pitt went for the
tie with a 50 yard field goal attempt. He made a 52 yarder early in the game so I was thinking it would go.
He missed it and Cinci got the win. Freakin' awesome. Last year Pitt won at Cinci and celebrated after the
game by doing snow angels on Cinci's turf, stomping the logo, and singing their fight song. Well, revenge
is sweet and Cinci returned the favor by mimicking the snow angel thing and stomping on the Pitt logo.
That was so fun to watch. Peace all.

Steubenville Big Red went 10-0 during the regular season and won their first playoff game tonight 68-13.
They play a very good team next week and Ohio high school playoffs last 5 weeks so they have a long way to go.
This was their 7th undefeated season in 9 seasons and two weeks ago their coach got win no. 300 after 29 years.
That's a 10-2 (average) for nearly 30 years. That's freakin' impressive.(even if only to me)
I've been going for 25 of those years and man they're fun to watch. I don't even watch the pros anymore. I get more
enjoyment out of this. ROLL RED!!!

is right!! "Oh, it's upside down, well, never mind"...... I remember him also saying that all their cups were wider on the top than on the bottom so that's why he put it down that way. Gee, couldn't he see all the names engraved on the rings with the cup above them not to mention how it was strapped onto the bike coming in??? Oh, but he practiced with a coffee maker.....
That's right, it was Quincy that righted it IMMEDIATELY!

god how I hate long drawn out guitar solo's
will never go see ACDC again because the only time I saw them Angus spent more time solo than with the band
vancouver show was fantastic!!!!! the boys outdid themselves !!!! ritchie looked like he was having a ball and was the focus of attention for most of the night as glenn, mostly stayed over on the leftside of the stage with ian . i wont tell you about the stage show as i dont want to ruin the surprise for others still going but...... WOW!!!! rob seemed to be favouring his left leg ? motorcycle mishap still bugging him?? but still moved around alot and covered the whole stage , thin lizzy was great and BLS was good also except for the zac wylde solo which went from a fine display of skills to an uncomfartable amount of time on stage , almost shouting look at me look at me!! 5-7 minutes long ?? anyway bittersweet seeing them and realizing it could be the end of decades of live music from them . but they left with a bang ! thanks guys for the great tunes , great times and the memories

That's funny "try not to break a rib". When I saw Priest for the 30th tour in Cleveland my brother in law kept hitting the guy in front of him in the back of the head while he was pumping his fist in the air. The guy was cool about it and knew it was not on purpose. The seats were so close together it could not be helped.

Also why I bought all my goods ahead of time. Dilemma, though. I already bought the shirt with nothing on back. I saw that they were selling it at the concert.

I bought the booklet before the concert, and had it stand on the floor and lean onto the chair in front of me while I stood up, looking down at it between songs to make sure it was still there. Thanks to said booklet I was able to get that guitar pick from Thin Lizzy guitarist Damon Johnson. He threw it and it fell on the floor but it kept bouncing, finally stopping when it hit the booklet. In this case, buying merch before the concert had a benefit: being the pick-stopper.
PS: The Epitaph tour shirt has the names of the countries Priest played in this year.

OH HELLS YEAH !! 
Glenn and Richie talked to us for quite a while and Glenn asked about our sons. We waited another hour and then Rob came down the elevator. I know he was running late to get to New York, but he stayed and talked to us anyway. He is such a gentleman. Mark told him that I'd been waiting 29 years for a hug and he said, "Well come here - I wouldn't wait 29 years!" But it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT let me tell you!! The entire band signed the banner that we made too. What a perfect way to end our triple Priest feast!!
I need a higher title...
I remember him also saying that all their cups were wider on the top than on the bottom so that's why he put it down that way. Gee, couldn't he see all the names engraved on the rings with the cup above them not to mention how it was strapped onto the bike coming in??? Oh, but he practiced with a coffee maker.....
I hope you tipped them well.
