well..me and my boyfriend trucked upto buffalo to see ratdog for nov 12,
2000. we got there the day before...checked into our hotel. the marriot was across the street..so we decided that it wouldnt hurt to call there ( being
that it was the ritziest hotel in buffalo)and ask for bob weir and rob wassermans room. we asked for bob weir...no deal...then i
called back and asked for wassermans, they said HOLD PLEASE!=D there was no answer...so my
boyfriend called and asked for mark karans room...they said hold please...no answer. so we knew that the boys were there!!:) we continued to call saturday
nite...no answer...so my boyfriend jonathon left a message with karan. we then went over to the marriot to hang out in the bar and see if we saw
them...no deal. we also walked up and down every floor in the building! 10 stories,,,singing ratdog tunes...hoping that one of them would pop their
heads out!!! no deal so we went back to our hotel room..and went to sleep.got up sunday morning..and i called rob wassermans room...he answered the
phone." i said hey rob...how r ya? this is lisa.im just wondering what u and the boys are doing before the show tonite...he said probably just
