Well, now they're an obnoxious angry death metal crew.

By the (soon to be defunct) R.E. Oldsmobile (aka GM)?  Or the
Champaign-Urbana Five?

And I'd heard of them, as REO S., thought it was strange to have another
band with almost the same name.

OK, I lied then (as I was there), but I was stuck in the balcony then, so I
have that excuse.  :)

I guess I wasn't paying too much attention....I suppose that's it, but
didn't realize it was carved like that.  To me it seemed shiny, smooth deep
red/burgundy, but maybe that was just the lights playing tricks on me.  And
I never did get that close to the stage to get a good look.

How did you get to be one of only 60 to get one?  Was it first-come,
first-served, or was there a lottery?  Or are they *really* steep?!  And
then, how could you afford it?  :)

What label are these guys on?  Are they Portland-based, as Lodbell is (I
think)? Lotta good music up there it seems.

Grakkl (FAA), who can't verify for Dan whether Lemmy said anything about the
quality of the Columbus crowd, 'cause I couldn't understand anything he (or
Wizzo) said the entire set.  'Cept "This one is called Metropolis..." as if
I were listening to "No Sleep..." right then.
