The happiest place on earth, because they are raking in cash from saps like us.
But my theory worked out brilliantly. Nobody was there. 17 minutes to get on Space Mountain may be record time for us.
I forgot to make a stupid face. Deanna has just spent the entire 40 seconds you are on the ride screaming and then laughing.
We literally walked on to all the other rides. (By the way, the new Star Tours rips pretty hard.) We walked right into the Haunted Mansion, Indiana, and Pirates. (All themed or re-themed to sell movie$) This is us on Splash Mountain, our own log. The rain was coming down outside and we got even more wet inside.
My go-to move, the thinker as Deanna is in total terror even though this is her 1,000th time on this ride. When we got to the end the kid said, "Wanna go again?"
On the way to Disneyland it hit me, what was I forgetting? Oh shit! We have
Dinosaur Jr. tickets tonight with Grant and Ashley! We broke out of Disneyland in time to meet them for dinner and make it to the show in Costa Mesa. This is
Pierced Arrows (formerly
Dead Moon) opening for them.
It started with a Q&A of the band members by Henry Rollins who is 50 years old and looking good. And he's a big Dinosaur Jr. fan it seems.
They were supposed to play the entire "
Bug" album, but tacked a few hits on before and after.
I started out with ear plugs, Dinosaur Jr. is notoriously loud. But after the first song when they shredded into "In a Jar" I yanked them out to go full ear bleed. I regret that now.
Poor Grashly™ didn't have earplugs. I got a message Tuesday morning from Grant. "My ears are still fucked." Welcome
Tinnitus.
J. Mascis scorching everyone's faces off with blistering and ear stabbing guitar solos that make your
dick vibrate and your eyes wanna pop out of your head.
Murph and
Lou also shredding at a very high velocity.
He's like a slow moving expressionless Koala Bear that secretly rips at guitar.

O, who has been getting me backstage since I was a wee lad. Thanks O!
