EDITED TO ADD A PICTURE OF THE TICKET AND PASS
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
I GOT TO MEET NIGHT RANGER!
I took a chance tonight, and left the house, to go to the fair. I saw Night Ranger in 1985. They were my first concert ever, and they were at the same fair!
It was a hell of a concert tonight. Lotta fun! I was able to lose myself in the moment, and not care about being in middle of a big crowd.
An hour and a half of awesome rock!
OK, So. Meeting Night Ranger. After the show, I was hanging out by the backstage entrance, hoping someone would come out. They didn't. I was getting ready to leave, when I kid says he'll sell me his pass for $10. OK!!! I happily pay the cash, get my pass, and get backstage! Once back there, I take out my ticket from 1985, the first concert I ever went to, also at the Petaluma fair.
I show it to Jack Blades, who goes bug eyed. He shows it to other people, amazed that I have a 24 year old ticket. Even more amazing to him is that I want it signed! So, he signs it for me, and takes a picture with me! I also get Brad Gillis, the original guitarist, and Kelly Keagy, the original drummer, to sign my ticket! Both are amazed as it! So, that's my story. I got to meet a band that I've been a fan of for over two and a half decades, they were all really nice, and sounded as good now as they did back when I was 11, watching my first concert!

Haha, Night Ranger, fucking sweet! I had tickets to go see Bret Michaels at Cache Creek a week or so ago, but he had to postpone because his dumbass fell at the Tony Awards. Anyway, I'm going to try to make it to Sonoma to Grandma's next weekend. If I can, I will message you on Friday so we can meet up and have some fucking pizza! Also, NHRA is fast approaching, woot woot!
