Well, I went berserk while walking into the RibFest concert in 2000, I saw the trailer bus thingy and saw Al poking his head out the window- (I believe. I was so excited and it was far away it mighta been one of TBITB.) So I waved my arms around, he smiled, and pulled a curtain over the window.

I'll have some good ones on Aug, 31. I'm gonna meet some woway friends there- just wait til the next AlCon!!!!!!!

I was happy to hit this mileage on my car on the way to last night's concert:

Please disregard the fact that I was driving 80mph and taking a picture... :lookround:

It helps that it was a digital camera with one of those screens on the back, so that I didn't actually have to put my eye to it... just rested it on the wheel actually. :) Although on the way back I did have some wonderful fellow motorist driving in front of me toss a glass bottle out his window, which gave me that driving-through-a-wave-of-breaking-glass sensation I so needed. :crazy:

When I saw the pic, I really didnt notice the speedometer and I thought it was neat that you stopped to get that pic. Silly me!

Actually, if I could have, I would have stopped--but there were no rest areas or exits for another 15 miles or something, so I just went for it and hoped for the best. :)

Al's show at Holmdel, NJ (7/20) is advertised at *every* toll plaza here in NJ along the Garden State Parkway.
