Wow, what a crazy day! First off after e-mailing Jonathan (Happy
B-day) all during the week, we never even crossed paths.
What an adventure, it's 2:00 am and I just now walked through the
door.

In a nutshell:

3:00pm leave home

3:30pm broke down on the NJ turnpike trying to change a fan belt in
the pouring rain.

4:30pm enter what I thought was a rest stop, but turned out to be the
Planet of the Apes.

4:45pm Spin off the road & Lisa freaks out.

5:00pm-6:00pm Stuck in gridlock, nothings moving.

6:15pm Enter PNC in the pouring down rain and see lots of mudpeople.

6:20pm Kick some dopey kids out of our seats and spend the next half
hour dodging chunks of mud & sod that were flying through the air.
Godsmack is awfull!

7:00pm Go to get beer & to call Jonathan. See Neil, Dawn and the kids.
Slip up several times in front of the kids. <doh> Had lots of laughs
with all of them and was truely the highlight of our night. In fact,
it made the trip well worth it. Neil ended up with a bra on his head
again and instead of sinks, everybody just pissed on the floor. Oh,
and Gary was there too ... but I doubt he remembers it.

8:20pm Manson's Queer Brigade starts and I have to kick some more
mudturds out of our seats.

8:35pm Go to get more beer, but they ain't selling anymore due to the
mudturds.

9:30pm Sabbath hit the stage and play a much shorter set than they've
been playing. No Scary Dreams????
The Wizard still kicked ass though.

10:30pm Sabbath's blowing up the confetti already, while I'm trying to
cross the river of vile to take a piss.

11:00pm Made the mistake of taking the Garden State Parkway home and
end up driving into the worst fucking storm that I can remember.
Lightning was striking all around us and the rain was so thick that I
couldn't see the hood of my truck. Lisa was screaming her head off,
but I just laughed and drove on through it.

Happy Birthday Jonathan, sorry we missed yah!
Cheers,
Jr (Who isn't a 16 year old girl from Utah)

Hahah... sounds like a typical trip to Ozzfest for you, JR!!! I'm starting to
notice a pattern: Neil at gig, beer runs out early?

Happy birthday JR!!!!

We left about 2:30 to pick up tickets at the deli next to Jonathans house.
The password was swordfish. Jonathan had already left.

We were crossing The Verrazano Bridge at this point (The Guinea Gang Plank)
into Staten Island.

Our rest stop in The Amboys was filled with Deliverance people, I think you
were better off with the apes.

>

We were lost on the wrong side of Holmdel. We asked Dilip Mukhatari for
directions in a gas station. He said 4 sentences, we understood one but it
got us there.

Got to our seats about 5:15 and got pelted with mud sod from The Lawn
People. It got so out of control that's what made the beer concessions close
early. I'll never understand the reasoning, it just got people more pissed
off.

>

What cracked me up were the ones who refused to wash off like they were
wearing some kind of Ozzfest mud armor or something.

That was Papa Roach, regardless, they still bit the big one.

Yes Gary was there with us holding up a fence. We tried to wake him up
several times yelling KRYLON in his face but he wouldn't budge. Security was
very cool to him after we let them know he was our in spirit buddy. They
laughed and left him alone.

The shock value of that idiot wears off in about 2 minutes.

Damn B, it was that early? I tried to get one just before Sabbath came on
and almost turned over this chicks stand. I didn't want to turn into one of
the Mud Assholes so I left her alone.

That's Steves fault, as soon as they broke into War Pigs I knew they got rid
of Scary Dreams from the set.

That was truly nasty, even worse than Retardford.

Wish there was video for that one. You two truly are funny together. I loved
Lisas rain hat.

Don't worry, I gave him a big hug and birthday kiss for everyone in ARRMO.

So you really are a lawyer in Atlanta??????

I suffered no blackouts this weekend, and certainly none of a twenty
four hour nature. But, out of body experiences are normal while I
sleep, hence my presence in Jersey, where all good dreamers yearn to
be. So glad the Elders of Krylonia ushered me back here though.

Trying to organize that Ozzfest was kind of like herding butterflies -
what with Junior's "I'm coming, no I'm not, I might if Lisa let's me, no
I'm not, I'm taking the train, I'm driving" Eyes and Neil "don't worry
about transport, don't worry about tranpsort, don't worry about
transport...ok, it's Saturday evening now worry about transport" Colepsy.


So anyway, we hire a car and spend most of the afternoon looking at the
sights of Northern New Jersey :)

By this time we've found a sea food restaurant..it was pretty good, I
had the scampi and a couple of pints of Jersey Gold...anyway, I'm
walking back from the bar vaguely aware there is a phone ringing. Secil
informs me it's coming from my pocket so maybe I should answer it....she
doesn't usually let me carry the cell phone, that's my excuse.

Junior: "are you at the venue"
Me: "no, we're at a restaurant in NJ but Neil should be there"
JE: "we're in the middle of a huge mud fight.I don't see Neil. Oh wait,
there he is..........."
Neil:"Where are you, we're all covered in mud"

ok not that funny, but it was pretty surreal.

I thought Manson rocked again...John Lowery rules.

Dude, didn't you hear Ozzy during Snowblind? His voice almost completely
went - I thought we were getting a two song set. I was scanning for
escape routes from a muddy riot having "been there, done that" at
Ozzfest.

As it turned out they only dropped Scary Dreams, either Geoff Nichols
has perfected his Ozzy imitation or the earlier songs really are much
easier to sing. Still it all sounded a bit off until Into The Void which
was heavy as hell........by The Wizard they were totally into a groove
again. And Tony's solo in Black Sabbath might be the best solo he ever
played live.......it just went on and on, but he nailed ever single
run.....definitely the highlight of the show. Worst show of the three,
but still worth seeing.



> Happy Birthday Jonathan, sorry we missed yah!

Same here. I called you a couple of times when we got there, and had a
look around where we thought your seats were before Manson. We didn't
even catch up with the Colepsy crew until halfway through MM, after that
we weren't moving.....well I wasn't.

So anyway you've got to come up to New York for an Arrmo gathering soon
otherwise we're going to start thinking you don't like us. We'll all
chip in for a really cool necklace for Lisa.

Well duh, it's your birthday - you're 17.

I don't know why, but something crazy happens at/on the way to/on the
way from every concert that I attend.

That and never wear sandals to a show that Neil goes to either. I bet
he still has some PNC turds stuck under his toenails.

Thank you Radman! Yeah, another year older and wiser I guess.

I was just able to use a chisel on the crack of my knee. I'll prolly get to
my toes by Thursday.
