I have never been more proud to be an "ex" Stinger in my life...

Oh yeah, it ROCKED Thumb

Parking was a cast iron pain in the tailpipe as Dos Gringos wasn't the only concert at the Hard Rock last night - NOFX was playing at The Joint and it took all my training gained in acquiring my Bachelor's degree in Parking Technology that I earned at Palomar College along with my time in car sales and valet parking to find a slot. No Sierra, it's a fairly small parking structure and it took me nearly 20 minutes!

I'm proud to say that i had the privilege of meeting Roscoe - a great guy all around Cool

I just hope I didn't make too much of a nuisance of myself! Funny stories? He's got a million of 'em. Just ask him about what rank the Snackos at the Pentagon are Razz

I just hope we get to hang out at Nellis some time so I can hear more of his stories as related to different jets Wink

Alas, there was no Weed due to a few different factors, but a margarita and a (thanks to Roscoe) double shot (seemed like a double) of bourbon had the desired effect Cheers

Concert report:

The set started off with Goin' in for Guns and included such favorites as HLTC (which does NOT stand for Heat Loves TC Wink

), Sammy Small, Squiggly P0rn, I'm a Pilot, The Legend of Shaved Dog's @$$, Jeremiah Weed, You've Got to be in The Guard, Last of the Breed, and The Hound War Song. There were several lyrics changes such as during I Wish I had a Gun where homage was paid to the British Harrier pilots with a verse about hovering and popping in and out of bush and another verse was added for the Germans with the Eurofighters with their awesome cockpit displays. Oh, and during Things I Like, several ladies took to the microphone for the verse neither guy would sing on the CD Laughing

!

We cheered enough for an encore of sorts. No, this wasn't your usual encore - it was Dos Gringos covering such songs as Neil Diamond's Comin' to America and concluded with an awesome rendition of Ozzy Ozbourne's Crazy Train Thumb

D@mn! Trip's got some mad guitar skilz Shocked

I also got to say hi to Snooze while out on intermission and got to shake both of their hands and thank them for the concert and all the fun Cool

I almost forgot to mention - there were a few new songs in the set and according to one of the guys who brought the T-Shirts and CDs, Dos Gringos will be going back into the studio for a THIRD ALBUM Twisted Evil

After the concert Roscoe had to head back to base, but I figured it was a good idea to burn off a bit of the alcohol before going home so it was off to Mr. Lucky's 24/7 for some pizza and water before playing a slot machine and leaving with a few dollars more than I'd dropped into it Smile

All told and everything considered, it was a Foxtrotting AWESOME night! Big thanks go out to Dos Gringos for putting on such a show Not Worthy

, to the Hard Rock for everything they did to make it possible, and to Roscoe for the beverage Cool

Now if we can only make this an annual benefit concert Twisted Evil

[EDIT] I don't know how I forgot this before, but I have to let everyone know that Snooze auctioned off his old acoustic guitar about halfway through the show with all the money going to the charity. It's the guitar that most of our favorite songs were written on and everyone on stage autographed it Cool

This act of kindness brought in an extra $822.69 for the cause Salute

Heh! Heh! Yeah, Heat loves something, but it sure as hell ain't me! Wink

He said..."popping in and out of bush" Beavis. Laughing

Doh!

I just read this. Wish I could've gone. Sad

Hopefully, there'll be another. Anyone know where to get a bottle of Weed in California or Nevada? A signed bottle would be nice.

I've seen it in the shoppete @ Nellis before.

goatmilk,

Lee's Discount Liquor carries Weed for about $13 per bottle and they have many locations around Las Vegas Wink

“Jeremiah Weed was a legendary railroader of the late 1800’s. He was a man who knew the true meaning of hard work, danger, beautiful women, and fine liquor-----fine liquor like Jeremiah Weed 100 proof Bourbon Liqueur.

For a spirited, smooth and genuinely enjoyable taste of an era long past, try Jeremiah Weed----straight, on the rocks, or mixed.”

I’m staring at this now.

$9.95 a bottle in 1985.

Split this particular bottle shot for shot with our “Gunsmoke” liason guy (E-3 controller) over about a one hour period one evening and probably still haven’t recovered internally completely. Went back to beer.

Outlaw,

Dude, I know what you mean. I did something similar, but a bit worse - a bit more consumption.

I just like Weed too much to go to beer Wink

I'll have to swing by one of those stores next time I'm in Sin City.
