I just scored tickets.

Is anyone else going?

I'll be leaving CT(Hartford area) around 1pm...hopefully make it to that area for dinner and a smoke!

I'd love to see them live, but they're not coming anywhere near here. One of my favorite radio stories:

One of Griswold's personal favorites was The Allman Brothers band.

"That was probably when I was the most nervous because I had liked their work for years and years," he said. "But Gregg (Allman) turned out to be a really nice guy. I'm sure he'd never been up at 7 a.m. unless he was up from the previous night. I was standing next to him at the urinal and he said 'Man, you get up early for this.' I told him it was the nature of the job, and he said, 'It's really got to cut down on your time to boogie.'"

-Tom Griswold, Bob and Tom Show​

Have fun, I'm sure it will be a great show.

I wanted to go, but have so much happening now couldn't make it work. Gary have a great time, I hear some part of the fun is the guests that show up.

I would be there in a heartbeat if it wasn't a 25 hour drive to get there. I haven't seen them in a quite a few years, it's certain to be a good time!

Well if Fat Joe and his posse where the headliner then I would have been all over this! :laugh:
