RIP Dimebag Darrel Abbott
in 1996 my friend Andy Scott hitchhiked to BC from PEI.... to visit me and so we could go to a concert on july 26...it took him 3 days...his father drove him to the west edge of ONT. basically as far as you can drive in 24 hours... he sat waiting for one hour or maybe 3 for a a ride... when he got picked up the guy was going to moosejaw or something like that... as far as you could go in 24 hours basically.....then he got another drive from moosejaw or where ever to vancouver...it was 3 or 4 when he got into town... i took him to a strip bar called the cecil... he still had his big duffle bag....it was pretty funny... we had a few drinks and headed for home... on july 26 we went to the concert...
PANTERA AND WHITE ZOMBIE.... it was mega cool... Andy stayed for 2 weeks then started to hike home... he wasn't so successfulll...it took him 2 weeks to get to Quebec...where his mother got him a bus ticket... point being we both saw dimebag perform...we'll never forget it.
Pantera broke up last year....Dimebag started a new band called damageplan....last night he was on stage only one song into their set when some guy from ohio got on stage and unloaded 4 bullets into dimebag...he was killed and 3 or 4 others were shot too...within seconds a police officer was on the scene it didn't take him long to shoot and kill the gunman... they don't know why this happened...but the heavy metal fans are in shock... it reminds me of cliff from metallica or shannon hoon or alice in chains singer...tragedy....
on another note... a sad note... my good friend angela watts came by sunday night...more like monday morning to borrow a flashlight... she was going to go look for her brother tyler... he hasn't been scene since sat night/sun morning leaving a bar... he's 19 and everyone is worried about him... i've never met him but everyone says he is the nicest guy and i'm sure his family is very distraute over this whole disappearance.... if your live on PEI i'm sure you've heard about it... it's not a happy time.... i'm crossing my fingers and keeping my mouth shut...cause it's times like this i tend to say the wrong thing...
as far as the good news goes...well i've been sober for well over 2 weeks...not a big deal but trailer park boys are having their x mas special sunday night...it's a one hour special...it's also a prequel to the show and pilot or movie... i will be drinking... i've booked the blue room at dooley's on the ave.... all are welcome to attend but a donation would be nice...it's 20 bucks for the hour...10 to 11pm dec 12...i'm very excited... in other news...i jamed with a couple of guy sorta...i met them and we did play some music...but it was more of an orentation kinda thing...looks like we wil probably work together...and tonight i'm getting together with some other guys...maybe anyways... we'll see how that goes... tomorrow i'm heading over to cousin wendy's work...apparently there is a studio there that she was told to put to use...so...i'm gonna check it out... and saturday i'm gonna try to get to NB to get some cider...
that's about all i can say right now..so...
chowder
