I'm going to tell my grandchildren about the pit at Lollapalooza '92. I hope there will still be tickets left when I have the money!

THE LAST SHOW IN CHICAGO. You would think this would be more of an event. Chris C, Ogre, R23, Scaccia... Kelly, Jello... Plus, it isn't really Ministry without Hermes Pan and Reiflin.

One of the highlights of my HS years was getting a mild concussion at a Ministry show in Joliet in I think 1989. The chain link fence was there in all its glory, I climbed it and dove off more than once. ah... the insanity of youth. In those days I would have I never imagined I'd be typing this out wearing a suit jacket from a cubicle in the LOOP.

I'll be there. I was there for the pre-fence years, the craziness at Medusa's, the total destruction of the Holiday Star in Merrillville... Nothing will beat those December 89 shows at the RIV, though. Not digging the last few records, but this will fun in a reunion sort of way!
