After last night...
...it's an extremely close call.
No, it's an impossible call.
I officially proclaim last night's show as tied for the best concert I've ever been to.
And you know what that means! I'm gonna have a write-up ready soon.

DUDE. My first time seeing Halestorm was around this time, as an opener for Staind and Lo-Pro. The lights went down, and this incredible voice just boomed across the venue. It took me about 3 seconds to fall in love, and by the time the show was done, I didn't even care about the headliners, my crew of flunkies and I headed straight over to the Halestorm merch table where we got to chat with the band and get a group photo. Now, I'm a pretty short dude (5'5" not counting the now-defunct mohawk), but I couldn't believe just how tall they all were. I felt like a little kid!gbruin wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 5:06 pm Great write-ups, Max. I haven't seen Halestorm in a bit so I didn't know how they're opening shows these days, but Lzzy put on what is still my favorite intro I've ever seen. Knowing your borderline unhealthy obsession with heryou may have seen this already, but back on their first national tour (opening for Chevelle and Shinedown or Theory, I think?), Lzzy opened shows with a powerful a cappella intro of the first lines of It's Not You. There was a regular here on TABN named Qwiksand who advised me to get there early so as not to miss it and he was more than right.
That is so awesome! I cannot get enough of their personalities. I've watched tons of interviews with them (coincidentally I watched some today, which I haven't in a while), and they're just the sweetest. They're starting Meet & Greets for Europe pretty soon, and I hope that stays for the next time they come to the US. Ever since I met Mark Tremonti in February, Lzzy Hale has been at the very top of my list of celebrity musicians I want to meet. So if they offer Meet & Greets next time they play near me, they can take my money the second they announce the show(s).TenaciousBe wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 11:13 pmDUDE.

All four of them are just the nicest human beings in the world, too. I don't know if they still do any meet-and-greet type stuff, but if you get a chance to do it, do it!

Shitboxes for the win. I've got a 2006 Subaru that refuses to die. If it made it this far, it'll make it further! The good news is that the older you get, the cheaper insurance continues to be.TenaciousBe wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 2:04 amHell yeah, that's awesome!

For the record, I'm still driving a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, around 150k miles, and it's still going strong. Accent looks like a sweet little ride! Hope it does the job for you.![]()

Maybe that's why girls don't like me.

It shouldn't but it depends on the number of passengers and if you've got checked baggage or not.
That happened to us when we left for Serbia, and it wasn't a problem regarding time. Hopefully it isn't a problem for you either.anguyen92 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2023 10:24 am So this is interesting. I've went onto the Delta website to check into my domestic flight and I see I got this message and I'm not able to check in online. "Unfortunately, government regulations require you check in at the airport, either at the kiosk or with an agent, for this flight." Is this common? Will it take a lot of time? I only have roughly around 1 hour 45 minutes - 2 hours when I get to the airport in San Diego to when the flight departs.
