Just saw Pat Benatar and REO Speedwagon for the first time last week, both were pretty amazing.

I've just published the photos and review:

Hearing Pat sing live was a real treat, and REO Speedwagon was energizing to say the least. Anyone else catching the tour? Hope you enjoy the photos.

Benatar made us all want to be women rockers in high school. She could be sweet, or kick you between the slats if you deserved it! Wonderful singing!

How did Cronin sound? Was she a bit thin or did she hit the high notes?

Last saw Pat and Neil when they opened for Styx in 97, she has a set of pipes for sure, I was very suprised by her. I'm gonna catch the tour in Chicago in a few weeks, Livenation had a firesale on tickets for just $10! So I figured might as well go!

I had a cheerleader in HS do exactly that to me Ginger. It was on a game day, I'll never forget it. I was dating this cheerleader, Michelle Santillo, and decided to venture off and sample some different vaginal fare. Oops, wrong on my part. The other girl, Stacy Frydenburg fucking tells Michelle about what I did....Oops again. So I am on varsity basketball team, and was the best player too, and Michelle confronted me at lunch on game day in the quad in front of a thousand other kids. She was so hurt/pissed she kicked me square in the jimmy. I ended up playing, barely, scoring a paltry 10 points or so.....I have never been in that much pain before...mind you this was before I discovered vicodin. Fuckin bitches. :evil:
