A few weeks ago I received a card in the mail from Warner Brothers studios. The card was an invitation to a free tour of the studio lot. At 9:45am Saturday morning myself and two friends (WB said I could bring up to three other people – Chi stayed up too late Friday and decided […]
TOOL
Thursday night Aaron and I met up for a Tool show at Staples Center. I felt really old waiting in line next to a bunch of chain smoking goth kids with tattoos and piercings. “Studded” belts were not allowed in the building, and by the time I made it to the metal detectors each security […]
