Rick Thorne was taking a break from the warped to to do some X-games hosting and to play they show. Even tought they had not played all summer they were still pretty tight. After good guys, Mike Valleys band took the stage. they were pretty good too. After that , being on eastcoast tiem I was ready to head back.

I gave hin 24 and told he was luck to get that and to walk away without a blck eye. Cabbies that try to pull
