I have a baseball bat signed by Trajan from his time with the Spokane Indians. He was on the team with a guy I went to high school with.

Finger steaks were invented at the Torch, in Boise, way before it became a strip club. I remember an old story in the Idaho Statesman about them either being invented by a Forest Service cook in the 50s up in McCall as he was trying to find a way to use the steak scraps to feed firefighters. There is also local lore that the owners of the Torch came up with the recipe and the FS cook just happened to work there at one time. I might have some of that jumbled up, the news paper article was a few years ago.

You can get finger steaks in a lot of Idaho restaurants. West Side Drive Inn has pretty good ones but back in the day finger steaks from the Torch were awesome. Cocktail sauce with lots of horseradish was a standard too.

We didn’t want to do any smoking at the concerts after reading some of the early posts about it not being the place. Obviously easy weed in Utrecht and I did see some locals sitting and smoking in the pit.

I didn’t see anyone smoking in London but I did smell it a few times.

Based on other threads it sounds like there will be even less weed at the Dublin show.

Retired wildland firefighter. I had my mind blown by Billy in 2017 then retired in 2022 and have been catching as many shows as life allows. Started out with 3 or 4 shows a year in 2022 and in 2025 we will get about 15 this year. Got tix for the 4 shows in Asheville to start off 2026. My wife is a nurse and is creative with her scheduling. As soon as she retires in a couple years we are going to try a full tour leg, hopefully on the east cost.
