Well, he IS from Lynwood, after all.
Yeah, that SG was a scary, scary chickadee there last year!
Actually, I remember being very nervous as we made our way through the fairgrounds and out to the car, and even after driving out of the parking lot, because police were out there, too, due to the gang activity. Then after being so rattled about all that, I took a few wrong turns before making it onto the freeway, so we were very relieved when we were finally headed out of Sacramento!
Everyone have a great time tonight, and be very, very careful!

Yeah, it was pretty much what I thought would happen- he'd mention it before the drum solo.
We got guacamole donuts and sucrose pickle again!!
I took a lot of pictures, but not of every song. If I knew I already had great ones of that song, I didn't need more of the same, ya know? So I got to just sit back and enjoy some of them.

No, he just said something like:
"Well, today happens to be our drummer's birthday, so I guess... just this one time... we'll let him have DRUM SOLO!!"

This show was great! We arrived late due to getting lost, but otherwise it was awesome!
My camera ran out of batteries half-way through the show and I only had 1 replacement so I was saving it for backstage (We had passes.) But when we arrived backstage it didn't work, it's alright because I was still able to wish Jon a Happy Birthday, and present him with a batch of my home-made Pumpkin Pie cookies and a big hug. And we got to chat with Al, but we were ushered out before I had a chance to give him a hug.
Afterwards we were walking around to find the restroom and we noticed the crowd of people running around towards the buses... turns out Al was doing a Meet & Greet. So I got in line and waited... I gave him his hug
This was my last show of this tour and it was incredible!
Thanks To Al, Jon, Jim, Steve & Rubén for making my year!
Also Thanks to everyone whom I've crossed paths with this tour, you're a swell bunch of people
