I liked most of Everclear's stuff, but hated them in concert a few years ago. They were wasted, profane (it was an all-ages/parents + kiddies show at the BayFest) and were horribly off-key. Only good thing was the t-shirt I bought, although the Hawaii venue was misspelled.
They'll be here again on Saturday. I had vowed not to go because they were so embarrassingly awful last time, but tonight wondered if I should reconsider. I actually have plans for that night, but after listening to random songs on iTunes and hearing their songs again, I might want to check them out. Don't want to park my car anywhere near the place, but the $22 ticket price (plus crappy Ticketmaster fees) is nothing compared to what my Eagles are charging, and they're over a month away. Need a fix before then.
Did I mention before how much I love live rock concerts?

I've been thinking about your gym dilemma. You see, Mz. Bitz, I'm a bit of a health dude, or Health Viking for many reasons (former health care pro).
One of the things I do to to stay motivated is keep up with a few of the heroes of the Glden Age Of Bodybuilding. One such gladitor, Mr. Dave Draper writes a weekly column I pour over. I took the liberty of sending you this:

to see if I can't do my part to get you back in the gym. No need to thank me, but you can send me a case of those Maui pineapples (man, are they the best.)

Hey, Hiss!
Whats th latest on them Eagles tix on Ebay? Sellin or smellin?
tom: I read your guy's post, made me feel even guiltier for not working out, til I read this: "Unless you are hemorrhaging, bound and gagged or unconscious, do not withdraw from your lifting. It’s bad for you, the family and the neighborhood."
I laughed. But then I sobbed. (Not really, like I care that much.) He said that if he misses a work out, his, "muscles shrink by the minute. I get fat, round, and smooth..the world becomes a frightening place. I can't think, make decisions, or get out of bed.."
Then I felt sorry for this fanatic. Met those before.
Me, I just need to tone, and keep from dying off from inactivity. And I have no excuse as to why my gut is expanding, unlike you and your meds (hey, maybe I could..no, nevermind). I'm just lazy and fat and will soon breach the 3-digit mark at this rate. Trying to will in not to happen doesn't seem to do the trick.

joey: They're actually getting bids now, but only two sellers have been successful. Bad news: I'm still hearing that a 4th concert may be announced. I don't think I could stand going by myself again, no matter how much I'd probably enjoy it. Three is plenty.
Who would you pay $250+ for each of three nights, to see by yourself? Limit it to musicians...
Okay, per'aps I should clarify a bitz, Dave Draper was on of the pioneers of what we think of when we think of old school bodybuilders; the California coast, beach bunnies, muscle beach, tan muscle heads, surf's up,et al. He was a contemporary of Arnold.
He's somewhere in the vicinity of 60 and still carries the torch. That's something to draw inspiration from considering how unhealthy we are as a nation. I figured you going for the tone and activity, a little inspirational reading is good for thew soul.
Get to the gym! Even if it's just to visit the juice bar!
Enjoy your weekend,

Oh, the ashtry was a point of contention with my neighbor. He said that as long as there was an ashtray mounted to the wall, he ould continue to smoke. Victory, is temoorarily mine.
I aint th right persen t ask that $250 question. I probly woont even pay ticketmaster prices t see no one. Mabey th Beatles or Elvis, but I sspect ya ment LIVIN musicians.
