Re: Sorry for my absense

Oh and since you mentioned your driving time and the blizzard, let me
tell you that I have been fired over going to his shows. Instead of
looking for another job, I spent the abosolute last of my money
sleeping in a car and following him from show to show for the last
week of his tour. I also have driven about 10 hours to Norfolk in a
seperate trip. I have seen Glen in 5 states now and I tried for a few
more than that. Don't make it sound like you are more worthy than me
to sit in the front row or something. I'm happy for you that you live
closer to venue he plays regularly. Not all of us are so lucky.
