Also, we probably should have taken an awkward photo together for all of these uncouth mother fuckers.

Whatever you decided to do is fair. They're YOUR tickets. Wouldn't it be rad if some babely babe on a motorcycle was like, "I love the Foo Fighters! Hop on the back of my bike and let's go to the show."? And, then you'd be like *schwing*.

Aww, man. Don't dis my shitty Graceland. Matt, I was born fucking ready! So, being a n00b on this site I'm not sure how to contact you. Should we exchange email addresses? Facebook? Twitter? Instagram? Carrier pigeon? Let's do this! -Lisa

Hi Matt! I'm the friend from Portland that Scott Heisel mentioned above. Before attending his wedding I did indeed drive all the way to Warren, Ohio to see the town where Dave Grohl grew up... and the ridiculous alley behind the Burger King that is dedicated to him. I have to say, it was totally worth the 2 hour round trip. So, as a big fan of Dave and the Foo Fighters I'd like to formally throw my hat into the ring. I've been a fan of Dave Grohl since the Nirvana days. While all the girls and boys were fawning over Kurt Cobain, I was quitely crushing over that amazingly talented drummer with the toothy smile. His sense of humor and kindess over the years has only intensified my crush. But... not in a scary way or anything. He is just the best, and I can't help but adore the man. I don't really have a heartfelt story to share. So, I'll just tell this one: Back in 2000 when I lived in Chicago I was unable to get tickets to the sold out Foo Fighters Halloween radio show with Queens of the Stoneage at The Metro, which I'm not sure if you know is a really small venue for a band of their size. I was heart broken and did everything I could think of to get tickets. When the radio station announced that their sponsor, Budweiser, would be holding events at bars all over the city where you could win tickets I made sure to attend every. single. one. I did some things I'm not proud of in attempt to win those tickets; and after seeing me every night one of the Budweiser reps took pity on me and gave me VIP passes to the event! The night of the show came and a friend and I went early and made sure to get barricade. The Foos came out dressed as Cheap Trick and played "Hello There", and we were front and center, so Dave Grohl was about 10 feet away! I was in heaven. Later in the set when they played "Stacked Actors" Dave started wandering around the venue with his guitar as he is known to do; climbing up into the balcony, drinking someones beer, guitar soloing on the sound board and then eventually right inbetween my friend and I at the front of the floor. We helped him over the barricade back onto the stage... and I got a handful of Dave Grohl butt. I was super fangirling. It was a fantastic show and worth all of my efforts. A+++ would do it all again. That's it. I would never say that I deserve to see them over anyone else, but I can assure you that if you chose me I would be there singing and sweating right along with you like we were a couple of teenagers. Oh, and if you're wondering why I don't already have a ticket to the show... it's simple... none of my Portland friends are willing to go with me, and going to a show alone is teh suck. So, at the very minimum if i could meet other Foo fans to attend future shows with, that'd be pretty cool. Thanks for reading, Lisa P.S. Here is a super cool photo of me at Dave Grohl Alley attempting to do that awkward pose that guys do in front of their cars.
