Hi, I'm 25 and I live in Salt Lake City.  (this feels like Connells-Anonymous)
I got into the Connells in 1993, when a buddy of mine from Missoula, MT
introduced me to '74-'75. (now I think the F&G album's the best, but that's a
different story)  Anyway, this isn't really a road trip story, but I just have
to share it.  Back in '96,  by some sick coincidence I had an appointment to
get my wisdom teeth out, the same day as the show at the Zephyr.   I bought my
tix the day they became available and my friends thought I was nutz, they
thought I'd spend a week in bed!  So the morning of the show I had 4 wisdom
teeth extracted (2 of 'em impacted!!!)  I took advil and slept all day, that
night I felt great!   I went to the show, got a great table and tipped the
waitress $5 to keep bringing me ice-water, I was a little swollen.  So the
show starts and my teeth (the ones in front of the impacted ones) start
VIBRATING because of the bass!!  So there I am, holding my jaw, drinking ice-
water and having the best concert experience of my life!!  What a great show!
Thanks for letting me rant!
