For 2001 we drove from Utah to see 'em. I ALMOST sold my tickets at the last minute because I wanted to just do the Vegas thing. My wife talked me out of it though and I was glad because they blew me away. I started posting on the forums shortly after that.

2006 was a rock star year for us in general. Things were good and we were flying all over the place doing stuff. That included following GNR around that year to both NYC and LV. That concert was also a total fucking blast too.

This time, while I loved the Orlando concert, my fevered fan boy status that once existed in 06 has since been downgraded. The value just isn't there anymore in terms of money or time for me. I can go see a show, take it in, appreciate it and that's it. I'd rather take a trip to the Keys or Miami and get a place on the water for a few days instead of seeing a 2cd or 3rd show. Hard to believe I could ever say it, but things change. It's why I've been looking for a partner/new manager for my GNR site now for a while. I love the site, put a lot of work into it, but the passion for the band isn't there. I'd like to see it stay alive in some shape or form, but the time involved in maintaining it...is time I could be doing something more important.
