My New Best Friend And Other Tales From Saturday Night – Meltdown
I made a new best friend in the most unlikely of places over the weekend – after the Anthrax show by the buses behind the Fillmore. As I was talking with thrash legend, Scott Ian, my phones buzzed that my step-daughter had figured out Wordle. I mentioned something to Scott about it and he told me he plays the five-word game every day. I said “Let’s do it”. We proceed to get the word WASTE in four guesses, thus becoming best friends. (Don’t ask him about it next time you see him….he’s shy about this kind of thing LOL)

Best Friends!
Anyways, it was great to see the guys in Anthrax and Black Label Society Saturday night. Also fun seeing my big friend, Todd Evans from Mobile Deathcamp. Lots of fun!
