I like my 'devices'... My first world life wouldn't be the same without (typed in a virtual keyboard on a tablet, drinking coffee, before getting into one of 4 vehicles, turning on GPS, etc, etc.


I wonder how many people in the US wear diamonds mined by slaves, from the past or present?

I don't think we're spotless!

Hey btw I saw keith Urban last wknd playing in Brooklyn NY. He was basically awesome. Crazy energy, world class performer, very down to earth. Great show. 5 stars.

Outstanding!!! What was the price of admission?

I saw Led Zepplin in '72 for $2.50.

I remember concerts being $7.50. $2.50?? Why'd they bother charging?? lol.

We had good seats and they were $200 each.

Lots of pot smoke and haze? That's how I remember my last concerts, many years ago...

Actually I barely remember...

 

[cory]

Didn't notice any pot smoke or other smoke but there was haze for effect. I guess it musta been dry ice or sumthin.

 

[squisher]

What no pot smoke? You sure as sh-t weren't in Canada that's for sure!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Do they still smoke at concerts up there???

No smoking down here - pot or anything.

Concerts I've been to even in recent years have smelled like a hotbox. Yah you're not allowed to here. But.......it happens a lot!
