You going, Sean?

Nah...I'd like to see Armored Saint, Triumph and Zebra but it's just not worth the trip.

I am traveling to DC in April to see a little known band called Sabbat and have Maiden coming up in May. Plus I keep buying expensive basses. haha

I think I'll start a band & name it TBA. Just think of the places that I could claim to have played at.

Looks like Triumph will feature the original 3 members - Emmett, Levine & Moore. That would be fun... I saw them on the "Thunder Seven" tour in 1984 (jeez am I getting old!) - classic rock show.
