Wow. I'm hoarse after tonight's show! What a wild show... It always helps when you go to a show with other Friends of TOAD! It was great getting together with friends I don't often have a chance to see, especially with my crazy travel schedule. Well, maybe it was the margaritas too...

As Tony said on stage tonight, the Nugget has the best staff of all the venues he's performed in and coming from him that says a lot. Wish more of you could make it up here.

He skipped the additional song tonight--maybe that's because all of the guys were itching to get offstage and take Billy out for a bachelor party after the show... Sparks will never be the same.

I was able to help a new Friend of TOAD out tonight, which made the entire trip for me and hopefully we'll have a great story to post about it soon!

He still has 8 more performances there and if you have a chance, please catch one of them.

Pat:

Sounds like another great batch of shows for you. I am so happy you had another opportunity to see Tony in concert. It's so wonderful that you were able to help out a Friend of TOAD and I'm looking forward to the time when we can share the wonderful story with visitors to the TOAD site.

Julie,

You are right, I am as anxious to tell the story as you are and I know you are as anxious to hear the conclusion to the saga as I am.

And if I might quote Jim without giving things away at this stage "In a world filled with arrogant entertainers, it is heartwarming to learn that there are still some that care about their fans . . . even after 25 years." Quite a fitting description of Tony.

Pat;

It was great to see you again in Sparks! It is always nice going to a show and seeing one of us old timer friends of TOAD. It is always like a " Blast from the Past" as Tony would say.

We have had a lot of fun at the shows over the years. I can't even count all the shows we have both been at here in CA and NV. I can't wait until our next show we can meet at again. We don't get to see each other much but we know when TOAD are in the area we will for sure get to visit then.

And sorry to say Pat, but when I was late for the show I was not changing clothes in the car on the way to the show in Sparks. I just left home later then I thought I was going to. I think you are the only one that can get away with doing that.

Thanks for posting all of the information you give us all the time.

It was great seeing you again and it is always a pleasure sharing a show with you. We sure have been through a lot with them and seen everything over the years. It is great to share that sense of history with someone. It is certainly something that no one can buy on ebay. LOL!!!

I'm looking forward to the next show out west and a chance to catch up with you and get into one of our "old days" chats.

Your thanks are truly a compliment.

Pat
