Having a photographer take a live shot of the crowd and it winds up in a jewel case for the band's greatest hits...with me jumping up larger than life!

Anyone have Nuttasaurusmeg? That's me with the Fishbone t-shirt jumping up to meet Angelo.

Seeing Saga live in 2003 at the Hardrock in Toronto. They are always playing in Europe. Best live band out there period. Any other Saga fans out there?

Also...at a Southside Johnny gig last year, some guy randomly shouted out "I've just had twins"...so, of course, Southside was on him all night then. ("What, right there? Make a space for him. I didn't know men could. Or are you a very masculine woman?). But, the GRATE thing was, he managed to change the lyrics to half of the songs in the set to fit the word "Twins" in. The guy's GRATE.

You couldn't be much gayer, could you?

My favorite gig was at CBGB, some no-name punk band with a Dead Boys, New York Dolls fixation announced, "Hey, anyone out there eating the chili tonight? You shuld maybe know that we all circle jerked into it before the show".

Some gay guy shouts out, "So what? I've had worse in my mouth!!!"

Also, back in '97 I think Nine Inch Nails at Madison Square Garden. Or raqther ,m they were scheduled to play, but after a thirty minute delay Trent Reznor came out and explinaed that the guitarist had hurt his hand earlier in the day and it's swelled up and alas the band cant play, so if you want t arefund, go to the ticket windown, etc etc.

Some goth dude (of course) two rows behind me SHOUTS out "I just paid seven dollars for a fucking PEPSI!!!!"

Areena rock, summed up in ten words or less...

P.S. Years ago, I was walking to Irving Plaza to see the Rollins Band play when i saw a shiny tour bus half a block away. I imagined what would I do if I saw Rollins climbing out of the bus. Just then he actually did appear from the bus. Suddenly, I remembered what I had read in his books; that he hated being bothered by fans on the street, so I walked right by him and pretended I didn't know who he was. I wish I had said something to him, even a "Have a nice show." I'm a geek. But it was interesting to see Rollins offstage.

Another Rollins-related incident happened...maybe 8 years ago when he had Mother Superior as 3/4 of the Rollins Band. They played the Bowery Ballroom in NYC which is a small club, so small that I was up against the stage and could rest my elbow on the stage. I made the mistake of standing too close to Rollins because he sweats a lot and every time he swung out his arm, I got rained on.

I am a very jealous, I would have loved to seen those incidents...

I was gonna borrow Tiki's soapbox 'cuz I really wanted to share this, but the bastard won't let me! So here I am :D

I saw Maiden on their World Slavery Tour a couple of times, but Charlotte, NC really stands out. Twisted Sister opened and would've been okay had it not been for Dee Snider fucking with me. If anyone here has seen them live, you know he is notorious for picking someone out of the crowd and givin' 'em all kinds of shit for not getting into Sister the way he thinks you should. Well, I was there for Maiden, not TS as I never was a fan. I was in the front row, the only chick for God knows how far. I'm not very big and I was being sardined between the barricade and a couple of big guys. I know, it sounds terrible, but I can't think of a better way to describe it :p So anyway, Dee starts to talk shit about how I'm not getting into it and how it took me 13 years to grow my tits and I didn't want to flatten them. He was just being a complete asshole, but the guys around me had my back and we all just booed them for the rest of their set.

Maiden comes on and it is, as always, incredible. I was able to get some awesome shots of Dave, Adrian, and Steve. I had seen them a few days before and Davey even acknowledged me. Later in the show, he was getting ready to throw out his wristband, but instead gave it to their tour manager, who was in the pit, and pointed to me. Man, I don't know what came over me, but I actually fucking cried. That was my most prized possesion for so long. A little while later they did "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and the sprinklers came on when Bruce screams "...down in falls comes the RAAAAIIIIINNNNN!" They didnt do that when I had seen them before, but it was way cool. When the show was over, I was waiting for my friends who I had separated from earlier, and Dave's guitar tech, Bill Barclay, tried to get me to go backstage with him. Fuck, I wasn't that kind of girl and besides, that geezer was old enough to be my grandpa.
