For your family.  My Libra sister has been begging me for days now to take her to a concert this summer. I was very reluctant. I gave in.
www.ozzfest.com Eeeessshhh... is it just me or do they all sound the same? So now I have a full day of "I wish I had a bottle of aspirin and valium" to look forward to.

That little devil thing cracks me up. The site says over 12 hours of total mayhem and chaos. Oh boy. Can't wait. I'll suck it up.. for her.

You're brave. That is not at all the choice I'd have made. Frankly, I've been a little insulted at receiving notification of it via email.IP: Logged |

Trust me... I really didn't want to. I'm going to try and see The Allman Brothers this summer. Maybe I should nip at her heels and nag her until joins me. __________________________________________

I clicked on that link and was like, "Wow! I mean WOW!"   My cousin was over here in my apartment one afternoon last week and wanted to eat pancakes. She complained that her pancakes never come out right. I said, "Well if you want, I can make you buttermilk pancakes and sausage. I know it's the afternoon, but hey it's no problem." I am not terribly good at measuring out portions (always a little too much), so she ended up having to eat 2 batches and three links. IP: Logged |

Aphrodite, I have the same problem with portions. Every time I make chili I end up with 2 huge pots on the stove. My neighbor eats well. Pancakes and sausage links? Yum. prox: I agree. Just listening to it makes me feel jittery. AG: Zala: No. I’ve never seen them before. Something always has come up. So this year I’m hoping it works out. The nearest they come to me is Virginia, Tennessee or Ohio. Yes… I’ve heard Govt. Mule.  A Capricorn friend turned me on to them. I like. _______________________________________

That is so awesome 1scorp you'd do that for your sis I'm 19 and never even been to a concert. Well I've watched my friends' bands jam at clubs and stuff but that's about it. I'm hoping this year though, my bf has agreed to go to one with me. I really want to see silverchair if they tour the US PS my best friend has been to ozzfest twice and is always telling me how awesome it is. haha i believe her, really but i don't think i could handle that much metal lol u are so brave!

That sounds like an awesome show. I've seen Tool 4 times - I would probably have followed them around on tour if there were a Toolhead subculture and I were independantly wealthy and didn't have to sell woven bracelets outside the show to eat... lol If I can find someone to drag along, I'm hopoing to go to Ozzfest this year IP: Logged |

Hey, if I could trust y'all with my sister, I'd be more than happy to give you my ticket. I did sort of trick my Capricorn friend into going. I told him that there was something that I wanted him to do with me in July. He asked what I said it's a surprise.
He's not going to enjoy this at all.
Well, to be positive... I would like to see a glimpse of the "12 hours of chaos". That's purely my curiosity talking. It will be an experience. Not into the music though.
I think Ozzy himself only appears at approx. 10 shows.

Oh, I did go to a metal show once. Was talked into *ssjack. Wow... that was controlled chaos. $ssjack is Hank III's band. I'm not really into country that much... but I was able to appreciate the novelty of seeing Hank III in some downtown dank bar. I like being around people when they're having a good time... It was some night....  I didn't behave myself very well. I did have a decent time considering.... I walked out of there covered in beer, a little too drunk, groped way too much (1 groping is too much)this was repeated... eeeeessshhhh Which caused me not to behave myself very well. At the end of the night I had an acid tongue and a flaring temper. But for me to actually want to go and completely enjoy myself, it needs to be toned down a notch.

No.... I didn't. However, I did get her set up with someone that would enjoy it much more. She changed her mind at the last minute and decided not to go at all. $240.00 in tickets... wasted... (eeesshh) I am planning on taking her to a Bluegrass festival this fall. I think she will really enjoy it... her metal phase is starting to fade. Nice hearing from you Aphrodite
