| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. More than one way to skin a cat. Not that I'm endorsing cat skinning by any means. I like cats. | |

| Is this sign of getting old? @sleepwalker65 I saw them on June 28 in Tacoma. I had great seats on the floor also. One of my favorite shows ever! | |
| Is this sign of getting old? If you have to ask, you probably are! My experience has been a little bit opposite, when I was younger I mainly listened to Hard Rock, but as I've gotten older there are a lot of bands that I used to thunk were too "mellow" that I now enjoy more t... | |
