I'm in. Already booked the airfare.

Re: 3 Nights at the Fillmore San Francisco, CA 11/20,21 & 22

I know I've said this before but last night was one of the greatest rock shows I've ever seen.
Wow, did they bring it.

Besides for marrying my wife, the decision to fly out to San Fran for these shows ranks high up on the list of best decisions I've made.
