THE ANSWER

In honor of my favorite athlete of all time relocating to the Mile High City:



And - I've only owned two shirts in my entire life that featured an NBA logo. It appears that I knew, even back in 2003, there was something special about Denver (other than the obnoxious-colored logo I adored):



Mom, I've never smoked - we were in London and I stole one of dela's cigarettes to try to fit in with the cool kids. As you can see, I failed.

Anyway, see y'all a Staples on January 5, April 3, and April 7...

All John solo. Some acoustic, some electric.
What a set. Was only supposed to be 45 minutes, but John gave the people what they wanted for more than an hour. "Noise for Tots" if you will. The room was full of great people and my man did his thing, commenting between the set and encore, "man, this kinda feels like Eddie's Attic."
Maybe that's why he busted out the rarely-played Stop This Train. Or threw some old favorites like Neon and St. Patty's into the mix. Gravity must have been 8 minutes long - John looped the riff at the end and soloed over it. Beautiful stuff. It was a very special night...those acoustic shows in December have a way of getting to you.
And I got to hang with The Chad all day!
In other news, please bring Allen Iverson to the Clippers! I'm talkin' bout Clippers, man. I'm talkin' bout Clippers, man. Not the Knicks, not the Knicks, not the Knicks...I'm talking bout Clippers man. What am I talking about? The Clippers??
