Yes. That was my picture. Of Vikki's picture. That Helen had the foresight to print and give to Al. Hey, if that's as close as I can get to his assets, that's cool.

I think I need a break, what do you think?

Yes, you do need a break. Like you said you were going to take, oh 15 minutes ago!

Doesn't he have an excuse to sing it all out of order? He does "forget" the next verse.

Still, I'm glad you all had a good time!

I suppose that's possible, but it didn't sound intentional.

I don't think it was intentional either.

I was thinking that when I saw you wrote that, but I don't think it was intentional either from what it sounds like. Still, it works well anyway. Maybe he'll do it in the future (though I highly doubt it).

Yes.

Call me crazy, but I think that's so cool!

Both of those guys were extremely happy to see the petition. There was one crew guy who declined to sign.

So I gave him the "who deserves to be in HOF more than AL?" spiel. He still didn't sign, but I had a group of about 4 people around me going, "Yeah! That's right!"

Oh, I nearly forgot. CD, you're crazy!

A quick update on the whole bus thing...

The bus outside the venue apparently WAS the crew bus. At least I think so after having seen the other one at the Eugene show. Not close up, mind you. No one would go with me to check it out. Spoil sports

And the bus that was parked at our hotel belonged to a band that was staying there called "Slipknot." No, I don't know who they are, either.
