Ah, welcome to the 21st century and the new evil Mayo. Makes me nostalgic to the time when Mayo was just a world renowned clinic in Rochester. Thankfully the hospitals and clinics in the Twin Cities are well established and the area is well covered. Expensive as **** but lots of options and competition.
Me a couple weeks ago.
Last MRI was at emergency room. Was probably lying down for the MRI within 30 minutes of arrival.
- Family doc, "Referring you for a CAT, they will call you."
- Next day Suburban Imaging calls me and I set up appt
- Apt was in and out in like 20 minutes
- Later got a thank you postcard signed by the CAT scan team at Suburban.
Unfortunatley Mercy in North Iowa is worse, in more ways than one. They are slow to make sure you are really sick and then need expensive emergency surgery. They keep you alive just so you can keep going back.
I started in the upper deck. We decided to see if we could move down below - the two guys I was with totally bamboozled the poor usher, and we walked down the steps to the about 3 steps from the bottom. Everyone was standing, and we spent the rest of the concert packed like sardines, standing in the stairs & "dancing" in unison because if one person moved, EVERY body moved! We were on the stairs at the south western corner. In retrospect it was incredibly dangerous...but relative youth and beer combined have a detrimental affect on one's better judgment.

Youth??? I didn't know the paint it black tour came through??? I knew steel wheels and Voodoo did. Informative
Okay - I need clarification. Were you at the Hot Lips concert or the VooDoo Lounge concert like BC?
Every diagnostic ordered for PapaLew in May, June & July was within three or four days of the request - 2 biopsies, a CT scan, an MRI, two ultrasounds and a PET...plus the surgery to remove the kidney stone. We were actually blown away by how quickly they moved us through the whole process. The difference in our experience vs. BC's, though, might be that we both live close to or in population centers with multiple medical options.

There are no worse reasons than a meeting.
In 1989 I was 34. Compared to 62, that's youth. And I DID say "relative" youth!Youth??? I didn't know the paint it black tour came through??? I knew steel wheels and Voodoo did. Informative
VooDoo Lounge. Side note, I just checked Wikipedia and Ames was the lowest revenue earner on that entire tour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo_Lounge_Tour
Granted, when you compare Ames, IA against the other locations, it's pretty easy to see why.
Of course, a screenshot could be altered..
EDIT: Looks to me as if Boxster is the true Mr. 10,000.

These lawyer guys always trying to accuse you of something.
That makes sense - pretty sure the beer sales stayed open at the one I went to in 1989. I was one of a handful of women who took over one of the male bathrooms that night. Women maintained possession of it for the rest of the night.
So now we need to know which one(s) @SaraV and @Cyclones_R_GR8 are talking about. Yours was in 1994, right?
Edit: I just did some wiki myself and for 30 years I've been calling it the "Hot Lips" tour because of the promo t-shirts everybody wore (the red lips & tongue). I guess the official title was the "Steel Wheels" tour.

I think I was at Steel Wheels in 89 with you. Was that the one with the big tower for Sympathy for the Devil? I think I decided that concert would be so much fun that I didn't to drink for it. Also, I probably didn't want to spend the whole concert waiting in line for the bathroom.That makes sense - pretty sure the beer sales stayed open at the one I went to in 1989.

If you're at Suburban Imaging in Maple Grove say hi to Dr. Dave for me.Ah, welcome to the 21st century and the new evil Mayo.

Yep, but I had to look it up to be certain. Since I worked a ton of concerts between '93 and '95, the dates get pretty foggy. I know I worked for ZZ Top in Hilton, Sheryl Crow in C.Y. Stevens and Billy Joel/Elton John at Trice.
I went to Aerosmith, Billy Joel (by himself), Pink Floyd, Lollapalooza (I think this was at the DM fairgrounds) and U2 to name a few.
I feel bad for students having to fork out as much money as they do for concerts. The most I ever paid for a concert was the Eagles Hell Freezes Over concert and I think that was around $55-$60. The rest were rarely over $30-$35

Family Intervention needed.
Z is kicking the couch while we eat. I said "There goes Thumper!"
Z: "No. I'm a baby. Thumper's a rabbit."
E: "THUMPER!!"
Z: "Thumper is a boy rabbit. I'm a baby girl, not Thumper."
E: "Thumper's always Thumpin.'"
Z: "I'm a baby, not a rabbit."
E: "But you're thumpin' the couch, Thumper."
Z: "Not Thumper! I'm a baby."
So, she's wrong. Convince her, world.

I was wanting to go to ZZ but got stuck guarding a locked door at CY. Lead woman assigned me to personal security for Steven tyler when they came through. That was fantastic for me. When the eagles played, a bunch of the techies had left the prior 3-4 months. The Hilton foreman tried to get us all back for like a farewell techie concert. Said we could sleep in the training rooms and such. Wasn't a big enough eagles fan.
Billy Joel, I guarded the roof steps. So I had to sit there on a chair and make sure drunks didn't try to see what's up there.
