It's a good thing I don't use the phone very much, because today I wouldn't be able to hear what anyone was saying. I went to see Kiss and Aerosmith in concert - two bands I haven't listened to since I was a teenager growing up in "Wayne's World" - and the pyrotechnics from the Kiss show are still ringing in my head (I was in the fourth row).
I was lucky enough to get backstage passes, and got to meet Kiss's latest guitarist Tommy Thayer - a nice guy, as it turns out. About five minutes later I got separated from my friends because Gene Simmons - in full costume - suddenly walked between us.
My moment of glory, though, was when Aerosmith's Steven Tyler singled me out during their show. I was standing next to a rather large friend (6'5", about 295 pounds), so I had my arms folded because there wasn't much space. Steven Tyler apparently didn't like this, so he pointed to me and said, "Why the f--- do you have your arms folded?!?" I made sure to put my hands in the air for the next song.
For the record, Kiss put on a good show, but Aerosmith stole the night.
