hahahaha...Yep...my families album collection consisted of every Abba and Air Supply album...that was about it. They couldn't make it past the "A" section at K-Mart

It is quite possible that I saw Air Supply at the Civic Centre when I was about 9-10...but can't really remember that. The first one I really remember was Pantera at the Congress Centre, 92-93? I got my ass kicked multiple times in the mosh pit.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

YAY!!!

I thought it went out of business?

What's the deal with the Octopus' in Detroit.... I know it's tradition, but aren't they supposed to save it for when something "big" happens?
