In honor of my attending tonight's Tool show, I thought a post dedicated to THE BEST BAND EVER was in order.
Despite having seen Tool several times already, my excitement for tonight's show is unparalleled -- except for that time I won backstage passes to meet A Perfect Circle and I was so nervous I drank an entire bottle of wine so that I wouldn't make a fool of myself (interesting logic, I know). Unfortunately, my plan backfired on several points, since (1) I was unable to make it to the bathroom in time [rattling car + potholed city + 750 ml cabernet sauvignon = much physical pain], causing my personal humiliation when (2) my friends were forced to stand around me (for "privacy") in a parking lot (oh the horror) before racing several blocks to the venue in order to meet only 4/5 of the band, since to my utter chagrin and despair, (3) Maynard didn't appear (and who could blame him, if I were Maynard I wouldn't want to meet me either, even though I am pretty foxy) and so all my worry was for nought. Good times.
Now, I am older and wiser and drink my wine for snob value instead of nerves. See: that's growth.
Enjoy.

Tool. Now there is a band I was a bit surprised to read about on a litblog... I have not listened to them much, but I did enjoy Aenima once upon a time when I borrowed it from a friend. I haven't followed them much but it does seem to me that the lead singer, Maynard, is a strange guy.
Oh, and I hope you enjoyed the concert. I love a good show.
