I went to The Garage years ago after seeing Pearl Jam in Glasgow and bouncers wouldn't let me in at first as there were footprints all over my white t-shirt. Had to explain that I was near the front and the crowd went down, hence the footprints, they let me in eventually. On the Glasgow live album 2000 you can hear it happen during Given to Fly.

Pinball tournament is probably how I caught a cold!  I thought the lantern festival ended May 15th but it's the 5th.  Not sure how this will go since I'm still seeing circles and trails from the surgery.  It looks like Wednesday is our best choice since we are approaching a rainy period.

Annual physical with the doctor.  His nurse practitioner does a better job.  He just orders tests and then we talk later.  My grandson came along with me.  Perked up the waiting room and tried to borrow a lady's walker.   

Due to overwhelming demand, the venue for Glasgow on October 2nd has been changed.
New venue: The Garage

It's great that their touring. I saw Slash last month and will see Duff again in September in the Academy. The guys are way more accessible to fans when they're not with GnR and they play the smaller venues.

This is quite interesting, I look forward to see what gets added to it. Maybe a book in the pipeline or solo project? Now that all the demons have been laid to rest and hatchets buried. I doubt Axl will be sitting around doing nothing while Slash and Duff are away touring

Celebrate sweet victory with REESE’S Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Medals, our first-ever summer season shape! Shaped like gleaming gold, silver and bronze medals, these delicious treats combine the perfect blend of rich peanut butter and smooth milk chocolate.

I'm on it!   

Cool - that's awesome if true that it's official. A space Axl can have to put out what he wants and maybe by doing so negate unofficial news and ill-sourced publications.

The copy is a bit sloppy for such a colourful lyricist, speaker, and writer as Axl. In fact, it doesn't appear that a native English speaker wrote it as it reads like a run on sentence with "rose" used 3 times. Most native speakers vary their wording and avoid excessive commas. Unless over-using a word purposely to emphasize or remind readers topic or point. In this case, "rose" - a punny intent?

Might I recommend www.thesaurus.com, enter "rise" and consider "rocketed to fame" or "scaled to prominence". Although there's something about climbing to prominence that doesn't sound right as prominence isn't an achievement or goal - it's a state or condition. 

As a fellow grammar Nazi, I was thinking the same thing! Haha!

I am terrible with grammar, but I noticed mistakes too. lol By the way Axl, I have a very good friend that would love to edit your page for free.

Last Sunday in the greenhouse, public sale next weekend.  I was going to install the milkweed display today but we are getting frost tonight.  They are harden off so they would be okay but why stress them out.  So instead I spent 5 hours washing pots and flats, stressed my back out. 

The beekeeper took the hives away for a while to calm them down.  I didn't hear of the bees bothering anybody this week but the beekeeper knows his bees.  I wonder where he takes them?

I'm in a rush to get all the garden stuff out of my garage.  It's taking up valuable real estate. 

Marsha gets chemo tomorrow.  We're hoping she feels well enough for the public sale.  She didn't last year so we muddle through without her.  Saturday's sale for our group earned us $7500.  Around what we normally do.  Warm winter so Donna has a bunch of perennials.  At $5 a gallon size, it's a deal.

I just wanted to come home.  Four and half hours of pinball, I knock out 21 other players for third place.  Marsha calls as they are trying to take our pictures.  It's quarter to 12.  Needs me to go by and see if we locked the building and shed at the gardens.  On my way home, so okay.  The shed was left open.  Go over to show the neighbor my trophy and the $30 I won, he been gambling and won twenty thousand.  Now I just want to go to bed.   

Why in the world would you set yourself on fire on purpose?  Some guy did that outside of the Trump trial with pamphlets saying something about evil billionaires.  Haunted Carnival Edition is kind of a cool name but to kill yourself by fire, you have to be pretty crazy.

Leslie says I'm in a fog and tired because of all the sugar I eat.  Maybe but I cut that out a few weeks ago.  I still think it has to do with my puffy eyes but she says the sugar causes inflammation.  Retired nutritionist so she should know something.  I also think it's lack of nicotine, took away my will to live.  I've been creeping back up on the cigs when I'm stressed.  Stressed may not be the right word, maybe strained.  And of course it's allergy season.

The roofer got us confused with another client and missed his appointment today.  Nothing I hate more than waiting around for someone who scheduled with me and doesn't show.  And those folks who decide they can schedule over you and blow you off.  Had that today too.  I understand emergencies and fucking up your booked schedule but deciding you'd rather do something else than keep your commitment to me tells me a lot.  This person I've stopped inviting to things because she cancels a lot, shows up late or has to leave early.  She still sets things up with me but I don't count on her.  I've turned down doing things with her unless I'm going to be doing them any way.

Pinball tournament tonight.  I would rather stay home and sleep but I said I'd be there.     I'm wondering if this woman will be there.  She made a point last time of saying she didn't know I smoked and was all excited we had something in common.  I didn't get it.  First time I was in a group with her, never really met her or talked to her.  I'm not gay but was that a pass?
