   Well went to a concert last night (REO Speedwagon) and before the   
   naysayers say anything, they have got to be the most or one of the   
   most impressive groups from the past ever.  They should good still,   
   they play phenomenal (I would personally dub them hardest working band   
   with the drummer being my favorite of all the band's I've seen;   
   probably followed by Alex Van Halen).   
      
   Anyhow, It was so hot etc we didn't stay to get graphs but two of them   
   signed one or two at the end and my hubby motioned for the keyboardist   
   to come over and sign but I couldn't find my sharpie... so I missed   
   the opportunity ;(  I've never seen Kevin Cronin signing at any of   
   their concerts...   
      
   I had already previously gotten Dave Amato (lead guitar) and Bryan   
   Hitt (the drummer).   
      
   Didn't leave too disappointed; caught three picks and almost got a   
   drumstick but got beamed in the head by a guy in back (where the hell   
   these people come from is beyond me but it gets more crowded each   
   time).  We had the best seats in the house (right at the stage, in the   
   center, unobscured and got to touch my favorite drummer's had (I know   
   big deal right?  LOL).   
      
   I am left with one lasting memento I wish I wasn't... the ringing in   
   the ears and I can't hear out of my right ear.  Second time this has   
   happened when up front in front of an amp, but the other went away by   
   next morning.  This is still going... how long till I can expect to   
   hear again?
