Although my hubby went to Dallas and Alpine with me this year, and had a great time at both, he still dosen't quite have the obsession that I do.......
A secret though.........I put LTC on the other day, and caught him tapping his foot. :wink:

At times I think my wife's a bigger PH than me.

She's had been to a good number of shows before I even knew her. This year, she goes and has some stiches removed from foot surgery, then stands in line for Thursday Chicago Tickets, gets pulled number one and scores 2nd row.

Then this week I catch her teaching our 15 month daughter how to do FINS.

And she says checking BN everyday is a JB obsession! :D
Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.

Well, I can’t really vote in this poll being 17 and having not yet dated.

Maybe being a PH at an early age can work to my advantage and I can set up a prerequisite for dating me: Gotta be a PH! :wink: :lol:

I've been to Dallas and Alpine. She joined me in Alpine. I don't know whether that helped or hurt. Maybe I should have started out smaller?

After announcing that I obtained pavillion seats at Tinley Park (Chicago) for the third time in four years, she informed me that she wasn't thrilled driving 8 hours again thru Iowa/Illinois from Omaha.
So, I compromised and bought $68 airline tickets and agreed to take an architectural boat tour thru downtown Chicago and see art galleries.

I paid for a "no advance" airfare ticket to Milwaukee AND drove from Janesville to MKE twice at 7am (after partying Friday and after the concert). :evil: Please don't tell me about forking over $68 for a ticket. :P

She has been to 3 shows only because of me. I guess the saying is true. Some people get and some people don't.

Now my keets on the other hand are both being raised to be true parrotheads. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Bill We are in the same boat. My keets speak southerneze and think Cameron and Delaney really are phamily! My other 1/2, he loves a party and enjoys the music...to a point.

The guy I have been seeing thinks Van Halen is the only good band to come out of the last century! And of course, that would be the Van Halen WITH David Lee Roth...
Not sure this will go anywhere...I should have asked up front; Van Halen, or Van Morrison???? :wink:
Not only did he refuse to wear a Tommy Bahama shirt, he refuses to wear button up short sleeve shirts...MUST be Polo, or long sleeve...No pockets, and buttton down collar is a must as well......

Sigh...........
