Heck yeah! I think we are gonna try to see them in September! I saw velvet revolver twice and they were both amazing shows. Everybody was still in their prime and Scott weiland was incredible. When GNR reunited I was kinda feelin meh about it, it wasn’t a super big deal, but man they’ve kept going and from the videos I’ve seen axls voice has really held up (good thing he took all those years off working on chinese democracy right? Lol). Now I’m excited about it!

@Oliverjava I love old stuff as well. I get giddy at antique shops, historical sights and homes, old buildings.

@Mark_88 and @carmen071 my husband still has his Guns n Roses tshirt from a 2 day concert in L.A. back in the 80s among other bands he has seen over the years. I plan to display them.

@Melrm, great idea for a topic! :blue_heart: thanks. I was born very premature also. My mother was too afraid to hold me for days.

@Oliverjava - So interesting! I love the idea of a tiny house! (& watch the shows), but don’t live in one. I def would someday, but my wife is bit of a hoarder …sigh.

@Elisabeth - I have a “secret” dream of making something for comic con also.

  1. Almost died multiple times growing up:
    – Truck ran over me, but all the tires missed
    – Was drowning in some kind of “hole” on a beach, and a stranger finally pulled me out
    – A speeding bus missed me by about 3 inches, and the wind almost knocked me over

  2. Lost 45 lbs so far since my first sober date. Mostly through calorie restriction, and some exercise. (unfortunately, I had gained 60 lbs in the years before that from drinking and eating crap!)

  3. Won’t eat any seafood, except for some strange reason, tuna salad.

  4. Was selected as “Best Male Artist” in High School. But honestly there was only a handful of us into art at all.

  5. Taught myself programming on an Atari 800 - creating games and utilities. Programming eventually became my profession - after a few detours.

  1. I taught myself to play the guitar when I was 16 after being discouraged from it by the middle school band teacher who said my hands were too small to be any good. Even got good enough to play in a few worship bands (when I went to church).
  2. I’ve never applied to a job and not gotten it (I simultaneously had three jobs when I moved to RI and had to pick which one to keep ha)
  3. I love tattoos! I have 4 now with a 5th drawn up and ready to go whenever I save enough money.
  4. I have read both John Grisham and Jodi Picoult’s entire catalog of books. I love to read and they are my favorites!
  5. I played basketball for 10 years, 5 of those years I played year-round. Was offered a few scholarships to college but unfortunately I was beginning to love alcohol more than the sport at the time so I declined them all because I didn’t want to have to live by anyones rules in college :rolling_eyes: Biggest regret in my life.
