    I was at that show! And I liked it at the time because they were my favorite band. Still, I didn't think it was the best show I'd ever been too.

    I few months later, I saw Nirvana in Houston. At the time, I like PJ much better than Nirvana, but Nirvana absolutely ROCKED!

    After that, PJ slipped a bit in my opinion.

    That's hilarious...I went to school there at the time and I remember purposely missing this show. I did go to a party with some of the out-of-towner attendees afterward. I heard it sucked. I think I heard some of PJ was drunk...not sure, though. This one guy I was with who also passed on the show got so high he passed out instead and scraped up his chin on the carpet.
    That was a fun party night.

    What does it take to get a decent ticket to this or any concert these days?

    Waiting in line? On the phone?

    How?

    35. I started there shortly after they opened as a busboy. I only did that for six weeks before the head chef walked out. Within a few months I was head chef, and my roomate was kitchen manager. I was partying too much though and doing bad in school, so I quit and came back to Houston for the summer.

    At the end of the summer I went back and told the Blanks, "I'd like to come back, but I can't afford to work in the kitchen. I need to be a waiter." They asked if I'd rather bartend instead. Took me about two seconds to decide. I bartended there until '94, so I was there for quite a while.

    There's a few things on the menu I invented. I came up with the Blank's bullet sub.....except, someone else decided to menu it with honey mustard (I always used to put the sourcream/horseradish mixture that you serve with prime rib on it). I also came up with the stealth bomber that's on the shot menu. It was well-named.


    good times....that I remember. I lived in the Market for quite a while (above that old antique store on Main street.) We partied entirely too much.

    Metallica is not worthless, and they are not done. They are one of the best rock/metal bands ever and my favorite band. They make good slow songs and great high powered music(Nothing else matters-Enter Sandman), and everyone should have the privilege of seeing them live with the Ecstasy of Gold opening.

    They definitely are not overrated. They are a great band.

    To each their own.
