I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to you regarding Tool's   
Poughkeepsie, NY concert on March 1 so you can pass the good news to your   
visitors.

On March 1, Tool played in Poughkeepsie, NY and they were awesome.  It   
was my first time seeing Tool in concert but it sure won't be my last.   
 What you hear when you listen to Tool on your stereo is exactly who Tool   
IS, which you can't say for alot of bands in concert.  They were just   
unbelievable, unfortunately, I can't say the same for their opening act,   
The Melvins, but that's OK, it just made you want to hear Tool more!  The   
place was mad, unoffically I heard 3,000 fans and to my suprise about   
2,000 must be still in high school.  At 26, at first I felt a little out   
of place, but then I realized, it didn't matter that these people were   
younger than me, I actually respected them, for we all had one thing in   
common, we love Tool.  Better they're listening to Tool than that gansta   
rap shit!  In summary, go see Tool, and when you're done, go see them   
again.
