    Well, I've decided that it's time to buy a helmet (enough brain damage already, thankyouverymuch... it's why I'm on the Surl).

    Getting to be the end of the season, so there should be some decent options on closeout and such- any recommendations or things I should keep in mind (MIPS is mandatory, according to the Mrs.)?

    'Preciate the insight...

     I just burned some REI credit on this one.

  2. Took my oldest to Heavenly for a few days last week. The snow was great but the problem was 1)weekend crowds and 2) winds. The Gondola was closed both weekend days. Access between the Nevada side and California side was closed on Saturday. So we spent the whole day on the Nevada side. Crowds weren’t as bad as they were on Sunday. Sunday we did the California side because most of the lifts were closed on Nevada for winds. Super crowded day and long lines. Monday was perfect. The whole mountain was open and the crowds were light. Still one of our favorite places to go but will try to avoid weekends in the future. Can’t beat the views.

  3. The only Riverside venue I can think of that might have hosted Pantera would be The Back Room.  Also, Austin Opera House was on Academy drive, near Riverside & South Congress.

    Probably the back room. No too different from the basement in Dallas where they did some epic shows in their early days. Although by 93 they were getting bigger.



    Yep, that sounds right!

    Like a few of you I’m sure I “worked” as an usher there back in the day. Best show I got paid to see was GNR, U2 zoo tv, plant/page, and NIN. Most of the rest were a blur. Best show I paid for was Petty late 90s.

    So speaking of GNR*, a few of us senior guys got pulled aside after and were asked if we wanted to go work security at the Pantera show. I was all over it. We worked the pit and had a great time.  But I have no idea where it was. It was a small venue that I thought was somewhere off Riverside but I can’t recall. Anyone know?

     

    *I’m 99% sure it was after this show in ‘93 but I’m not positive
