I was there for that show as well. It was a lot of fun. We left soaking wet and decided to attempt our hand at turning a grassy hill into an extremely slick mud slide. We never found our friends who were supposed to take us back to the hotel, so we were stranded. A parrothead stranger overheard our dilemma and she and her boyfriend offered to drive the four of us to our hotel in her brand new Mustang. We were covered in mud, yet she insisted. We tried to pay her for her trouble, yet she refused. She really helped us out that night so, on the off-chance that she's reading this, THANKS!
yes..Ill never forget the parking lot...one big mud hole....when we finally made it to our hotel, my friend Drew was carrying a cooler with wet muddy feet across a marble floor..well you can imagine what happened next. But he didn't lose one beer out of the cooler!
Hey Sunseeker! The important thing is... Drew didn't lose a single beer! We have to appreciate the the simple, yet important things in life!
Today is the tomorrow you spent yesterday worrying about. Was it worth it?
Creeky, we've got both ends of that trip covered. When I lived in Ft. Myers Florida I flew to Sydney Australia for the Hot Water tour. Didn't hurt that I scored backstage passes as well. Had a great time in Oz and look forward to going back.
Now I've got a terminal daydream,
That's something you'll never know
I keep it right here in my backpack, mon
And I take it wherever I go.
