She's ready for the baby to come out - the doctors want to do it on Jan. 9, and all the ultrasounds and blood tests have come back fine so far, but she's just tired and sore and really wants it to be done.

Glad to hear all is well other than her perfectly normal wish for the wee fiend to be out. :)

So I have an opportunity to see Tool at the end of January. I have never seen them live and really want to go. Can I really justify spending $85 on a ticket especially when I'm not working and unsure if I'll even have a job by then? I don't know.

If there is any way to pull it off financially you should go!

Also wft you've never seen tool live???
Oh hi

Yeah, I know. Which is probably the biggest reason for me to go.

$85 is fucking ridiculous.  I think it was only $30 when I saw them on the Lateralus tour.  I might see them if I hadn't seen them before, but there's no way that I, personally, would pay that kind of money to see them today.  Not a chance. in. hell.

I paid 40ish? when I saw them for 10K days. However, am I the only one that sees this as Maynard trying to make some cash for his Puscifer tour? He did some shows, then Tool tours and Puscifer is doing another tour right after tool... (Just saying) 

The being said, if they were playing in Seattle or Van. I would do it in a fucking second... But I'm also a HUGE fanboi...

I think the most I paid to see Tool was around $60. Personally, especially at this stage in the game, there is no way that I would pay that much money to go. I had a chance, too- and I said "no thanks." I just bought a new car and am looking @ upgrading to a nicer apartment, so I need to save as much $$ as I can.

I think I paid around $40 when I saw them. I have way too many bills to drop that kind of money seeing anyone anymore.

I see it as the band making some cash the quickest and easiest way they know how; but also it could be a way to get in the groove again for the recording process, because if you spend a month or two playing live then it will be that much easier to do so once you get in the studio.  Personally I don't want to see them again till they're touring the new album.

Pretty sure they could sell nude pics and make cash faster and never leave the house :P.

But ya, I understand that. And if it gets me a new album sooner, I'm fine with it. Either way, I want new Tool soon.

I agree with chim. It seems to make more sense once an album is out again. I'm really on the fence but that price is fucking steep. Plus there's puscifer and apc probably touring soon too.

I'd pay to see Puscifer before I paid for Tool. And good point- not supporting a new album on this tour.

If I recall, we paid roughly $60/tix for Puscifer, which came with wine tasting + we got to meet Maynard (meet + greet tix cost more, but we got free wine + got to also meet Milla, so that was quite an awesome bargain).

Front row center Tool for both L.A. + Vegas with Farrier was enough for me too (which also equated to us being on same plane with 3/4s of them too). Don't think I need to see them again.


On a different technical tangent, I can't seem to log into this site via Chrome anymore. Says something about a cookie error, which is quite odd, as absolutely no settings have been changed on my end since I last visited this site.

I use chrome and its been fine for me. (however it's been acting odd for me. Flash will work for a site, then not work then work again, due to missing plug in.)


So my phone battery couldn't hold a charge for like a week. (It would work, but it would drain, just being in my pocket not being used. Or At lest I wasn't playing games or youtubing with it and the battery would go down. Just being in my pocket and in an hour it would drop like 10% (I do check the time a lot while I'm at work.))  Now though after I bought a new battery, its working great.  Maybe killing the battery and then recharging it helped it out...? Eh oh well.
