First off Big Thanks to Anthrax to coming to a small town in Iowa and putting on a Kick-Ass show! Best early Christmas present ever! It was great to be there at the last show of 2003. You guys kick so much ass, my buddies and I had a blast!
Brat-for answering the Surf Ballroom trivia question first, way back when, your prize is...I touched John Bush for you several times! He threw his t-shirt into the crowd, but nowhere near me. Don't know if I would've parted with that for you though!

I'm pretty sure that's everything. About 500 people there. The crowd didn't seem to really get into during Got the Time, which was surprising, but everyone went nuts right after that when they played Caught in a Mosh. That's when all the stagediving started. The only bad thing about the night was that security was minimal, which was allright until a few jagoffs got onstage and bumped their equipment around. There was no barricade (cool for all of us in the first row) and only about 5 security guards up front. It was ok till Caught in a Mosh, then it seemed like everyone was getting onstage, and that was when the few dickheads shine. Anthrax handled it all pretty well, and after they said something, it toned down a little bit. At least 30 times someone got on stage, a lot of them big huge dudes-Scott and Frankie got a kick out of that.
Anyway, show was awesome, Rob C. interacted with the crowd a ton (In May it seemed like he just hung in the back and played) so that was cool.
Scotts new Matrix guitar-Looks awesome!
Thanks guys!
