Tomorrow morning, I'll launch myself seven hours north by northwest to see Tom Waits live in concert. I had thought about flying to St. Louis to see the show last night (Tom's first in St. Louis in 30 years). However, as I was testing the online ticket waters an hour before that city's Central time zone general on sale, I clicked and scored such a stunning orchestra seat for the Columbus concert, I decided to just Sal and Dean myself to Ohio as an early birthday present to me. $4 gas? So what? This is a once in a lifetime event, man! This is living! The open road! This is rock and roll! (Plus, you know, uh, my wife said it was, you know, okay that I went and all...)
Anyway, if I get there early enough tomorrow, I'll mess around Comfest. Should be a weekend for the ages. One I'll tell my kids about someday.
"Dad, you sure were pretty weird."
"Were?"
"Well, now you're kind of a kooky, even cool Dad."
"Ah."
"Yeah. Hey, do you happen to have ten bucks?"

Boo - sure you'll have fun in Columbus, but the show woulda been better in the Lou!
Look forward to catching a future great show with you at the Gateway to the West!
