Attic Fest LA Two
Before the Who concerts, I traveled to LA to visit two dear friends of mine who I had met in La Jolla at Pete Townshend's benefit concert for the Playhouse in La Jolla in 2001. I suppose this is where my Amzaing Journey began.
Tom and Diane have two wonderful children and I loved spending time with them and thier children.
I enjoyed the weekend tremendously despite the horroibly long travel days.
While in LA I took in the Attic Jam at the Hotel Cafe. Terrible issue with ticket scalping occurred; but I was more focussed on meeting some new blogger friends who got tickets from me at face value and some great friends who I shared cheeseburges with at five AM.
I didn't eat any burgers quite that late...at least by local time....but did manage to get an In and Out burger, a Tommy's Burger and a Fat Burger in.
Three final Who concerts
Just got back from three Who concerts on the East coast. I got to make some new friends and see some old ones and go on a journey with a special one.
Band played the same set list, which of course gets challenging, if you go to more than a show or two. The boys played well; but I'd love to see them tap more of the forty years of music available.
I got a chance to see Pete sign a bunch of stuff for some competition winners and bumped into him and his entourage on an elevator on another night.
I will miss the shows and look forward to The Who returning to the US in 2008 or 2009.
Of course, I will keep my eye out for the Atticfest of summer 2008 and any Attic Jams that Pete and Rachel put together.
Rock On
