The best and worst night of my life.
The concert, an awesome experience seeing guitars best player, Joe Satriani. We have 3rd row seats for the worlds best guitarist. I am psyched! We arrive early and the venue is beautiful, its a full blown opera house, serving cocktails and an upscale crowd. The show is awesome as we are almost ON the stage. As always a great show by the guitar virtuoso, then the trip home. We leave the event and as we near Arundel Mills, I look over and Rob is sliding down the seat and curling over. I immediately know something is wrong. I ask him "are you OK?" he moans a reply, "no I don't feel that well, I have a pain in my back and i feel like I have to piss and poop" Now I've never been around someone who is passing a Kidney stone, but I immediately know that's what is happening. Our Hardees plan is out the door, but we go there anyways. He is now in agony and I have my meal. "What do you want to do", I ask. We ar at the Hardees right near Hospital Dr. His reply, "I think you better take me to the hospital" I drop the 4Runner into gear and smash the accelerator. We squeal onto Hospital Drive. In minutes we are at the emergency entrance. I jump out and go to the passenger door to help him out, my sandwich still on the driver seat. We go inside and he checks in, there are a few people here.  He states he has to go to the bathroom. He dissapears for 5-7 minutes. When I see him again hes still looking green. I ask him, "did you look at the urine? Was there any blood?" "No I was in so much pan I forgot" he replies. He tells me to go eat. I run to the Runner, and eat as much sandwich as I can in one minute. I bolt back into the Hospital, he is gone, I start looking for him, a guy on the floor recognizes that I am now panicking and he says, "They took him back" I thank him for the info and I go back to te nether regions of the hospital. They have him in a bed. I sit with him and tell him it will be OK and that I think it's a stone. We wait, hours. They finally dismiss us at 04:30 and we head to the all night pharmacy at the end of Hospital Drive for pain meds. We arrive home at daybreak 05:00 and get to bed. I awake at 08:00 to check on Rob and he has slept. I know neither one of us will ever forget this night.

Attendance - Myself | Rob Lang | Rich Flickinger

This show was originally scheduled for Dec 10,2009 however we recieved a snowstorm that postponed that event to 03/13/10.
Driving home from work and I'm listening to 98 rock and they announce the meet and greet winners for The Ramshead KIX show. WTF they announce my buddy Rich's name! I immediately call him and ask him if he know what has happened, he is clueless. I tell him that he and a guest have won Backstage meet and greet with KIX, his reply "what's up guest!?" YES!
Now he and I have been friends forever and many a fun night and concert events had. We've seen more KIX shows together than I can count (34+)
