STP n Me

I have been debating this since it was announced, do I go or do I stay? Scott Weiland back with Stone Temple Pilots. How do you pass that up! Um…well,

- it’s in a big huge field in the middle of no where in Toronto
- there will be thousands of people
- I’d have to be there for the day
- it’ll cost me an arm and a leg
- my husband won’t go
- I’m too old

But, in the end I’m going to Edgefest!!!! In the end, all those “negatives” did not weigh heavily enough against the one “positive”

- Scott Weiland!


The eight years that they were not together I had been kicking myself for not going to see them while they had been together. Now is my opportunity. It's one of the few concerts that I still want to see because I have seen hundreds of awesome concerts, some legendary ones (in my mind)…The Guess Who at the Kingston Memorial Centre (huge band rocked a small venue), John Mellencamp (after his four-pack-a-day habit, he’s lucky to still be alive), Tom Petty (cuz he’s Tom Petty), Lenny Kravitz (in is tight white pants), Pearl Jam at Maple Leaf Gardens (before it became an empty wasteland) and too many more to list. But there are very few concerts that I would go out of my way to see, Neil Young and Neil Diamond are two that come to mind (no that was not a spelling mistake, I meant Diamond you would know every word to almost every song), maybe NIN and Jack Johnson too.

So off I go. Have there been any concerts you’ve wanted to see so badly that you've kicking yourself for not seeing? Or a concert you are sooo happy you go to see? Or maybe one that you wanted to see and it dissapointed (don't jinx my STP dreams).
