Motley Crue- yet again!

during this last week, we went to yet another Motley Crue Concert. (it was an xmas present we gave to ourselves) It was here in Reno, and they didnt disappoint. They were playing with Theory of a deadman, and Hinder. (i have seen Hinder once before, and they were good)
First, we booked a room down at Circus Circus. (there was a good deal on rooms for $25, and i figure its cheaper than a cab, and WAY cheaper than a DUII.)

I got everything ready, and waited for Joe to get off work. To pass time, i met some friends down at the Rum Bullions, and we had a few drinks.

Joe showed up, and we drank and chatted some more. We were having such a good time, that we didnt end up going down to the Events center until about 7:30. when we walked in, theory of a deadman was just wrapping up their set.

(the only good shot i got off during theory of a deadman, actually i think its the only shot i got off)

(we were kind of bummed about that) The friends we went with had gotten floor tickets, but Joe and I got seats, Just in case he didnt get home in time, and then he wouldnt have to fight the crowd. It wasnt too bad having seats. The good side, was that you had a place to park your butt in between sets, and if you had to go the bathroom or get a beer, you had a place to come back to. (when we went to cruefest, it kinda sucked becuase i had almost front row, but i couldnt leave my spot at all) the bad side was that i wasnt able to get really great pics like i did this summer. but it was worth it.

We did, however catch all of Hinder,

and all of Motley Crue.

They played a lot of older songs (both bands) so it was a great time.
After the show, we went back to the Eldorado for more drinks, but after a couple of beers, Joe, myself, and another friend, decided we were ravishingly hungry. So, at 12:30 am, we set out for food. An awful awful sounded good, so we ventured outside to head to the little nugget. (where they make the best big greasy burger in town) Only in Nevada can you go to a hole-in-the-wall diner in the middle of the night, and it be PACKED like its daytime.

(this poor guy. we hassled him so much becuase, well we were a couple of drunk kids. He cooked us a great burger though!)

After dinner (or late night snack) Joe and I headed up to our room. Too much alchol and the concert started a RAGING headache. Check out was at 12-noon, and we slept until about 11:30. i think i am getting old, becuase i had a hangover (i never remember getting them before) We checked out, and decided it was time for some breakfast down at blackbear.

mmmm. Coffee!!
