You know, you've just made all of us that haven't yet seen the Poodle
Hat tour extremely jealous and envious of you. So much so, we might
just have to hunt you down and smack you around with a rubber
chicken. Hey wait a minute! Is that your evil plan?!?! You wicked,
wicked monkey. (Okay, who knows where that last line comes from?)

That is so very cool, though. So glad you had such an awesome time,
but then again, I never had any doubt that you would -- it's Al we're
talking about, afterall.

Something you didn't mention in your post, but I'm curious about...
Al used to have his parents as part of his intro to the show, either
in person (for the concerts in Cali) or via videotape. Does he still
do that at all, since their loss?

Well, back to a happier topic: Soooo, what did you bring back for
me? :) A nifty concert T? A groovey concert poster? A piece
of "ABC" gum you found stuck under your seat?? Oh, my imagination
surely runs wild at the possibilities!

Oh yeah, and before I forget....did you take any pictures at the
concert, perchance?? If so, I do hope you'll consider posting them
to the "Photos" section of the group. Everyone loves to look at
pictures. (That's why porn is so popular. ::wink,wink::)

~CJ~

P.S. WHERE THE HADES IS EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS GROUP?!?! I realize
I've been away for awhile, but that's because I'm flighty. I'm apt
to do unpredictable and unusual thingees, now and then. That's MY
excuse though. What's yours, hmmm??? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Everyone
should come back and post a thought, a question, an opinion, or a
confession or two, now and then. Come on. It'll be fun. Promise.
