    I got to be on the rail for my first GA show at Wrigley 1. Only waited from 6:30AM day of show and got to be on Mike's side. Was showered with picks and got to give some of them away to friends I made at the show. I even gave one to this little red headed girl who was waiting at the end with her dad to get a setlist, but they didn't give any out. I had one more of Mike's picks in my pocket which I wanted to keep as a souvenir, but decided to make her a little happier and gave it to her. The joy and excitement I saw in her eyes when I asked her if she wanted it was better than any souvenir. 

    I also made some lasting friendships on that GA line as well. Everyone I've met was awesome...this is truly the meaning of "Jamily"

    As a Rangers fan, I'm not entirely sure that's positive.

    My daughter's first game of the season is Sunday, though. They could probably beat the Rangers.
    Can't be any worse than the Habs. Best goalie in the league and they are wasting his prime years with garbage in front of him.

    My Redwings are gonna be lacking this year, too. Especially with the end of Zetterberg. I feel your pain. But, to keep positive..... none of our teams have a losing record yet!

    Yep, my fingers are crossed that the Redwings will hire Joel Quinville after you guys fire him this season!  =)

    Swapped a Fenway N1 setlist shirt for a N2. We both got squared away and each only waited in line once. Go team!

    Great things that happened this tour. 
    I got to see 3 shows. Meant to be 4 flew all the way to Poland to get ill and miss my grail . But I got to be rail London 1 and amsterdam 2 . Matt gave me his sweat band and sticks.i gave sticks away . I got called out by ed at both those shows and on the screen. I held eds hand during porch in London . Also as above I caught some mike picks and gave them all away to people at their first show and my auntie and my dear friend  Clair all of which had never caught a pick.
    London 2 rescheduled was a disaster .BUT out of disaster came an experience that in my life and 40 shows I have dreamt  about many times..longest post I've ever written . Sorry.
    Took  my lady and our 17 year old daughters. Lined up all day . All went wrong on entry. Ended up 4 back in front of ED. Nice for 3 songs  but drunk assholes surged in and we all got crushes and pulled out. I got roughed up by venue security I only wanted to get to my daughter.
    In stepped my friend s Keith and ewa . They were with THE ROB. Who came swiftly  to the med area. Saved us. Whilst there with him. I spotted Matt the tour crew manager. A cool Aussie guy I spoke to many times whilst queuing in all manor of countries . I told him the story ..next thing we all had passes and were side of stage . Mike's side  with a set list and a set of drum sticks.we were only allowed  to stay there for about 4 songs again local security  fucked us over. BUT
    After we were all 're located to the sound desk. Whipping was playing and I got that rush and said fuck this . I left my family safe there and off I went into my last chance of my life to get back to side stage. As I waited at the side of the venue another grail moment happened ED came down with his wine. And the guy in front of me got a glass of it. He passes it back to me. I waited and joked about this moment forever as a red wine drinker of some volume . At last a taste .And with that i grew some balls told local security  I had a pass
     Showed a guy . He let me in. And I was back. Alone staring at mike and jeff. In heaven until lights up.  My last exit

    so thanks to Matt crew manager and The Rob . From the worst experience  I've had at a show . To 2 grail moments for any life long fan. Most of all Keith and Ewa who saw me get treated  like an animal and acted fast .
