Re: Who'd you see this year (2012)?

I saw Steve Vai in August, and Joe in December.  That was it for me in 2012, but both were just awesome shows.  Between the kid and work I'm not able to get out a whole lot.

Slow year, we spent a good part of the summer moving and missed alot of the festivals and county fairs.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.

Good grief Rev. You missed some due to moving? Sheesh! I am impressed. My paltry dozen or so aren't even worth mentioning. You are a gigging sonufagun.
