I've tried to play it cool, but I have to be honest that I'm suffering serious FOMO for missing both nights of Tool. I've had the opportunity to see the band in the past, and Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, too, but that new Tool record is just insane and I just didn't pull the trigger on locking in tickets for either show. So for everyone talking about Friday or excited for tonight, enjoy. For the rest of us, we get the pleasure of seeing Veronica May at the Casbah, Dar Williams playing the beautiful Sweetwater Community Church for an AMSD show, or getting down with Soul Juice at Soda Bar.
