Hello all, made it back from the bacchanality of Vegas. Alive, but barely. Phew. APC had a great show. Maynard talked to the crowd a bit. Cracked a joke about (paraphrasing) "Thanks for putting up with us while we figure out these songs we haven't played in 6 years. You guys have been a good test audience." Had us say Happy Birthday to a tour member and also added "Happy Birthday to my mother who is in the crowd with us tonight.". That was a nice moment. Voice sounded clear and good. Set list was 16 songs and had two covers...c'mon TOOL! Pearl was awesome as usual. Its kind of a trip to get out of a show and be released in to a casino with civilians. At least the show mob hung out and made the transition fun. Got to hang out with kanaduh a bit and that made for some good times. He almost got blown off a 28th floor balcony at the Palms! Ha! sonnyboy, sorry I missed you too. Vegas shenanigans (and altered state of mind) kept me from getting in touch. We'll get that beer sometime. Looks like the TOOL tour is expanding and maybe I can get in on that action too. Now I shall retire to my lurker cave to finally get some sleep. Spiral Out.
