no. but close. Not only did I almost catch the 2nd major-league homerun of catcher Chris Coste (it flew about an inch and a half over my outstretched right hand and hit some lucky girl in the shoulder. and her friend grabbed it), but MEATLOAF sang a few lines of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

That's right, THE LOAF. he's promoting his new album "Bat Out of Hell III." No. I'm serious. that's what it's called.

he only sang like the first line and the last two lines. the rest of the 'performance' invovled him pointing the microphone at the audience and shouting random words like "Me" and "jacks" and "root!"

laura was not even impressed. and she has actually seen THE LOAF in concert. (not recently, but that kinda experience doesn't wash off easy.)

Laura punched me for outing her. I used her LOAF t-shirt to mop up the blood from my nose.
