The time was 9:10 PM AST on Tuesday, November 24. I was on my couch, ready to go to bed, watching the Habs lose (they would eventually come back to win, after I had gone to bed). I receive a phone call from a corporate box at the Halifax Metro Centre, where a number of close friends are about to take in the Stone Temple Pilots, who are surprisingly still alive. They have an extra ticket. The band goes on in mere minutes. Am I interested? I said...
No thanks.
Did I make the right call? Was the show any good? Did Scott Weiland die on stage? Did they play "Tripping On A Hole In A Paper Heart"? Was it enjoyable beyond mere nostalgia? As of 10:30 AM on Wednesday, November 25 these questions remain unanswered. Help.

our friend saw them in moncton the night before last, said it was the best night of his life (well, not really, but alluded to that fact). guess they played 2 hrs solid, hit after hit...seriously, what were you thinking! jk. i'm not sure if i'd trade a comfy couch for screaming and yelling at 10pm on school night...
ay
he has a 1 year old, that 'comfy couch' you mention usually involves screaming and yelling too.
