Rainbow,
Black Sabbath,
Dio and most recently

Two BBQs in 12 hours: totally awesome. Unfortunately, the main BBQ, the reason why we drove four hours, was very weak.
Häagen Dazs' 25-year celebration of the facility was disappointing, but luckily, we got a tour of the plant and plenty of actual ice cream, so I guess it wasn't a total waste of time
.
Later today, we are driving back home, with perhaps a pit stop at
Sonic, a drive-in fast food joint that we've never been to.
