Funny you should ask so specifically, Plinky, "Would you fly 2000 miles to see your favorite band reunite for one night" because my husband and I pretty much did just that.

Here is a little back story.

Superdrag is one of my husband Grant's favorite bands and I enjoy them very much as well. Grant really enjoys them. They were playing at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, which is one of the best venues in the city. So of course we had to go. Grant and I were freshly 21. In fact, I don't even think he was 21 yet. We had a nice dinner in North Beach and I decided, being 21 and all, that I would order a glass of house red wine. It was less than stellar but we were in Little Italy! What was I supposed to do, order a tequila sunrise or a Rolling Rock like I usually did in college? NO!

I had no idea the effect that cheap red wine would have on a non-seasoned wine drinker. So about halfway into the show, I fell asleep. We are talking out like a light. If someone told me I was roofied I may have believed them. I was sleeping while standing and leaning on Grant. I then somehow acquired a stool and put the stool behind Grant and leaned my head into the middle of his back. The sound of applause woke me up and I just looked at Grant and said, "Please don't make me sit through the encore." So we left and as we were leaving the band came back for the encore and if my memory has not failed me, they played one of Grant's favorite songs. But Grant was ok with it. He would just have to see them again and probably not bring me.

Shortly after that show, Superdrag broke up. I think a part of Grant blames me and that glass of wine. But mostly me.

A few years later Grant found out that Superdrag would be reuniting for a small tour in their home state of Tennessee and some of the surrounding states. But they were not going to be coming out to California. It just so happened that this tour was right around our anniversary and I think we both agreed that since I ruined the first Superdrag experience, we had to go.

We made a trip out of it and toured both Nashville and Memphis, both of which are awesome cities. And the show was great and more importantly, I did not fall asleep this time.
