[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 8968385, member: 6750306"] There was one point where, for almost five years, I'd make a point of going to almost any older show that came through the local venue - I always regretted not seeing the Dead before Jerry died, and the local casino (which is only a mile from my house) has both a 10,000 seat arena and a much smaller free open venue out on the casino floor, both of which get a bunch of really big name acts from past decades coming through. Bob Dylan, The Who, Meatloaf, Heart, Judas Priest, The Guess Who, Herman's Hermits... Basically, anytime someone I'd heard of was playing I'd go see them, [I]whether I was into them or not[/I] - I've seen both MC Hammer and Salt and Pepa there just to say I've seen them and add them to my extremely eclectic list of shows. There are lots of folks who have a more extensive list of concerts they've seen but the variety of my list is still fairly impressive for someone who isn't into music as their main thing. One of my current side-projects that I need to get back to is forging a knife... I'm doing it "redneck" style, though - I'm using a high-heat blowtorch to heat up a steel rod I found in the garage, a 2-lb. sledge and some bodywork hammers to beat it with, and a flat spot on my old man's bench-vise as an anvil. :p I've also got three big 1-gallon glass jugs that I scored from my previous job at the toothpaste factory (they used to contain isopropyl alcohol) that I'm planning to someday use for making mead. That's what I consider to be the hobby portion of it - investing your "recreational" funds in cooking fancy meals for your friends for no particular reason, saving up to buy expensive pots and pans if you're not actually a chef, growing your own herbs, picking out individual onions at an organic co-op when you're just going to be caramelizing them, etc. (I rarely ever eat lasagna, because it takes forever to make, but about once a year or so, I get the urge to do up a pan of it.) Cooking/baking just to feed yourself/your family is an entirely different thing than hobby cooking/baking. [/QUOTE]
