@guido GO TIGERS !!!! i just hope we dont commit 5 pitching errors again and literally  throw away the series!!!

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! 



@Guido

...what is Harpo's like? MRH is doing three Halloween shows this year and Harpo's is one of them. Just curious
about the venue.
[Budred] Sunday, October 21, 2012 6:21:32 AM 
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.

As usual, I am going to write in Gary Coleman. Yeah, he died but I think that he is still the best man for the job.

Sad case, isn't it? Apparently, they left the girl sitting in the waiting room for a couple of hours and, when the only ER doc that is on duty couldn't figure it out, they figured it was all psychological. Thus, they apparently restrained her until the psychologist could arrive. Of course, the hospital doesn't have one on staff.

While the story itself was big local news when it happened, rumor has it that the wrongful death suit was settled out of court with a gag order being part of the settlement. No officlal news ever reported, IOW.

Psychologist?! What the hell? I can understand meningitis being mistaken for the flu, but a psychologist getting involved I don't understand. There was a sad case here a few weeks ago, a young girl stayed home from school one day cos she felt a bit off. At 3pm she had a rash. By 5pm she was dead. Evil evil bug meningitis is.

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.

[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Thursday, September 27, 2012 8:21:33 PM 
THAT is scary!! But, I know it happens. Helicopter insurance? Wow, didn't know they had that but living far away from a decent hospital it makes sense. I feel sorry for those that can't afford it.

I just chatted with Phil on FB (it IS useful every now and then). He says THANK YOU and it means a lot to him to know that you and Becks send your best wishes to him for a full and speedy recovery. He said he can log in, but can't post on his mobile.

SOME people have a choice in hospitals, that is. Rural USA? We are screwed. One hospital if you can't afford (either due to time or injury) to drive 3 hours. Most avoid it like the plague as you'll most likely catch it there anyway! No joke. They were just sued and lost for having someone show up with classic symptoms of bacterial meningitis and they sent her to the psychologist. 

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

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.

[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Thursday, September 27, 2012 3:54:31 PM 
so true!! Our hospital has changed the food drastically - it's now much more like room service. You call them and order when you want to eat! 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?

Just saw an update from Phil and he needs bypass surgery, which is being done on Monday. He has to stay in the hospital through the weekend. He took a picture of his dinner though, and I have to say, food in the hospital sure has improved a lot! He seems in pretty good spirits considering. I wish him all the best and a full and speedy recovery!

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!

I'm definitely looking forward to the Fall-like weather arriving in Cali...in like four weeks or so. Can't wait for the rainy weather and the cold nights and getting to wear all my giant jackets again. And also get some new boots.

Sucks about the ozone hole over NZ. Do you wear any store brand sunscreen or is there a specific kind that has to be worn if you live under/near an ozone hole?

Guids, can't wait to see that pic if you ever take it. Maybe you can give it to DF's band for their future first album?

Odd feeling as we have finally had a wee bit of rain around here along with under 90 degree weather. Makes things look even more gloomy with dark clouds hanging over crops that are dead in the fields. Doesn't look like they are even going to harvest for animal feed as they would have done it by now. I should take a picture. Might make for a good album cover. Led Zep planning on getting back together soon?
