tully’s tool
By Eric | August 26, 2002 1:01 am
Sunday afternoon started with me just driving around to a couple places, half-assed sneaker shopping (anyone know where I can get my old-school Adidas shell-tops for less than $65? Highway robbery ain’t my thing…) but mainly driving around with the Grand Prix now that Amanda’s at school and not driving it 🙂 hehe… Got Sara about 3:45 and we got lunch/dinner before the Tool show in Hamilton. So we went to Tully’s on the Boulevard. We get seated…. and wait…. and no one comes to take our drink order. 10 minutes roll by, and a server from another section comes over and notices that we never got served. So he takes our drink order… in the meantime, the manager comes over, and apologizes, and says that our beverages and an appetizer are on the house. So the server comes back, and we were just gonna order potato skins. Well, he convinces us to take the most expensive appetizer on the menu, the sampler platter… um ok! So That comes, and its huge ($9.50 worth!). So we’re picking at that, and our orders come, and we’re like, oh man, can’t finish! hehe… lotsa stuff to take home! So the whole deal ended up being $16, not too shabby! And the server we did get, from another section, ended up being really cool…
so we finish there, I switch cars to take the trusty escort, and head to Sara’s house to wait for her friend Muhammed and his girlfriend Jenny. I met Sara’s Aunt Trudy, who had a bunch of stories from being in Europe…. hehe she’s pretty cool 🙂 Muhammed and Jenny show up, and we’re off to Hamilton to see TOOL!!! We decided to take the Rainbow bridge because Sara’s mom said the Queenston was backed up pretty bad. Rainbow was very light, and then we hit Canadian customs…. musta been quota weekend for them, because the car in front of us got pulled into secondary… and then we did! First time for everything I guess… So we pulled off to the side, got out of the car, and two customs agents checked out the car…. no big deal, obviously we’re not bringing anything! So we’re on the road again, and got to Copps Coliseum with no further incident.
The review will come later, but TOOL was awesome, we missed Tomahawk (color me disappointed…. the 10 minutes we did hear werent impressive at all). Our seats were great, we were in row 13, but since our side was infront of the removeable seating… we had first row so to speak! Just off the left side of the stage, a perfect view of the band and the screens…. Glad we werent on the floor, getting crushed to see Maynards back all night wouldn’t have been worth it! hehe! But yeah, Maynard’s still got it, voice-wise… no doubt. Got out of our boxed-in parking space much faster than expected, and we were home by 12:30…. beddy bye time coming real quick, and then work tomorrow…. 4 more days!! 🙂

row 13, thats good, but u havent seen a TOOL show till u have sat in the last row of continental airlines arena. those are the best seats…..if u are blind (compliments of daniel). but honestly, its great to see TOOL except when u have to climb 3 flights of stairs with a broken foot to get to ur seat!
