      The Deadman's Cage Experience... (A Return Home)

      As I'm sitting here going back over the thoughts, images, and experiences from the past 4 days... I find myself comparing this year to my only other previous experience at the Cage... And, I must say that the two times are night and day to each other... And by that, I mean that I didn't think it was possible for the amazing time I had before could be amplified by 1,000...!!! The great people, the excitement, everything...

      Once I can get the jumbled blur of events into a cohesive timeline... I will post up a bit more on things... As well as what pics I had time to get... *LOL*

      Hey Deadman,
      It was great to see you and I was glad you were able to make the trip. I still would have liked to hit up a music shop and tear up a few amps but
      there's always next year.

      Good luck getting the house back in order and getting a solid roof over your head again.

      Talk to you soon Brother,

      Day 1... (Thursday)

      Got up at 3am, handled some last minute things, and was off to the airport... I knew Higa Monster and Seath308 were leaving just a little before me, so I made my way to their gate and chatted a bit before their flight left...

      Boarded the plane at 9:15... Had the pleasure of sitting next to a lady and her 15 month old... (I seem to be a magnet for this... *LOL*) I can say, that those toddler shoes are rather uncomfortable, when they repeatedly kick you in the ribs... Also got to wear some smeared on Animal Crackers...

      Plane touched down in Atlanta on schedule... Thought I had plenty of time to kill before my next flight... Was in line at Nathan's Famous Hotdogs, when I heard that my flight had changed gates... Across the airport... So I got out of line and scrambled over to the next gate... Started looking for food, when I overheard that the flight got moved again... Scrambled over to the next gate, and got ready to board...

      Landed in Columbus about 8:24pm... Grabbed my bag, and called Phil80010... Him and Nix0r came and picked me up, and we headed to the hotel... We stopped off at Meijer, for me to grab some food items... And, then off to bed with visions of the Cage dancing in my head...
