December, 2018 - Diary of an Ardent Fan

I FINALLY saw one of my favorite guitarists, George Lynch, in concert.

His band, Lynch Mob, played in the Cincinnati area at a place called The Venue Cincinnati.

Two cover bands opened, then Lynch Mob came out and played for two hours.

Two hours of Lynch Mob and Dokken songs.

George has in the band Nathan Utz on lead vocals, Sean McNabb on bass, and Scott Coogan on drums (he sang lead on one song while Nathan played drums).

They had fun, as did the crowd.

I’m glad I finally saw George. He’s the last of the Dokken guys I needed to see.

I’m just sorry it took almost 20 years for me to see him.

Better late than never.

That’s my last event until March.

I live for these things.

You know what makes me happy?

Music, concerts, meeting famous people, and seeing movies. That’s about it. And that’s ok. Don’t ever expect me to change.

Love and Peace

I went to Louisville Supercon today.

I met and saw a bunch of people.

Some of whom I got pictures with and autographs from.

All were very nice.

I met William Shatner, Walter Koenig, Alice Cooper (super nice man), Richard Dreyfuss (He asked me where I was from and I said Ashland. He was curious as to where that was in Kentucky. I told him it was east of Louisville. He then gave me a quote that was said by President Abraham Lincoln, which is “I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky.” Don’t ask me why he said that but I thought it was great he said it to me.), Jerry Lawler (who let me hold his crown), Scott Steiner (Yes he was cool to me. He has a rep for being a jerk but he was cool to me.), Allan Oppenheimer (actor/voice actor who did the voice of Skeletor and many others. He even did the Skeletor voice for me, saying “Lucas, I’m not nice”!!!), Jonathan Frakes, John De Lancie, Levar Burton, and Ricou Browning (The Gill Man in all the underwater sequences of the Creature From The Black Lagoon trilogy.)

I saw many others, including Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Ralph Macchio, Henry Winkler, Kevin Conroy (voice of Batman on Batman The Animated Series and various animated films), wrestlers Sgt. Slaughter, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson (who literally parked a few cars away from me as I was getting out of my car to go in), Mark Henry, Booker T, Kane, managers Jim Cornette (who I had met before) and Teddy Long, artist Neal Adams, and many more.

I didn’t meet everyone but I mostly got what I wanted.

Fun day!!
