Yeah, I have to say that the concert was a blast. Except...

About the time Dio came on, this young tatted up, Weezer lovin' "alternative" couple who were probably no older than 20, came and stood in the seats in front of me and Eric. The seats weren't actually thiers; they were squatting. Mind you, I am already in hell, because Dio fucking blows, but these to kids had to be the most annoying human beings on the planet so they added to the pain. First of all, they wanted everyone to know how much they LOVED Dio. They were very animated in their efforts to sing along with the group, complete with the female part of the pair flipping her hair all around, and some of it even hit Eric's face. She was continually thrusting the devil horn hand sign in the air and just being over dramatic. She wasn't even hot. I got to stand behind the male who was 1.) sporting a Dio tour shirt from 1985 when there was NO WAY that he was even alive in 1985, let alone at the concert, and 2.) he was doing this dance that can only be described as somewhere between Mick Jagger's chicken dance and Duffman's hip thrusting on the Simpsons. Very weird. They didn't ruin the show for us because the seats' real owners came and booted them. They reconveined just a few rows down, so I could still see the horror that would have been, but at least it wasn't in front of me.

Right now I am watching Super Troopers. It blows too, but not as bad as Dio.

Congrats Rudy.
