Weekend at Wigley's

July 9, 2011 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM shows...at Wigley's Bar and Grill in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.

...it was nice catching up with old friends, Lisa and Lyle.

...the owner of Wigley's Bar & Grill is a friend from high school and college...

...AND he insisted we stay at his beautiful home for the weekend...

check out his view...

thanks so much, Keith...we had a great time!!

The nice thing, when doing gigs with Gass, he likes going to concerts...he always has some connection to enjoy the concert from backstage...

...i was excited...who was it going to be this weekend...Matallica? Slayer? Steel Panther? Mark McGrath and Sugar Ray? (whom he all knows).

This weekend's concert was...New Kids on the Block and Back Street Boys......WTF?

his only connection this weekend was NKOTB and BSB??

as we waited by the loading area for his contact to give us our passes...we run into this...


the previous night BSB's AJ signed this girl's butt cheek and the next morning she had it tattooed !!

(don't worry, my wife OK'd this)


first up, BSB's sound check...

...i was more impressed that i was sitting in the arena that hosted game 7 of the stanley cup finals.

next we meet the BSB...

Gass giving the boys a pep talk...

Wahlberg's dog had the run of the place...
