Hello all! Well I just got home from the Hardrock Cafe performance and I just want to say that Common Rotation is one of the best live bands I've ever seen. The CD doesn't have the power to catch all the magic that they have on stage. Oh yeah and the cozy little "lets gather around and sing together" ordeal was awesome. I felt like I was at camp, only its better that kumbaya. Oi. I have the fuzzy feeling in my tummy from a good performance. Its just a satisfying vibe.
PS. ERIC ROCKS FOR DEDICATING THAT SONG TO ME!!!! Thanks a bajillion. It meant a lot to me. Sorry for being a bug. Feel free to email me back.
So that was you he dedicated it to! Hehe that's so cool.
Wasn't that singalong fun? Oh and I so riffed on Adam for that nice little "amateur photographers" crack. I knew he was referring to me. LOL, he said he was just joking. But I was so impressed when he called me my real name FINALLY!
Hear that hon, ya impressed me. Thank you for making my evening. g
I will have a full report in my LJ come tomorrow if anyone wants to read about the weekend. And I do reckon we will soon have an influx of people posting. Common RO gained a helluva lot of new fans this weekend. Best part was when everyone kept coming up to me saying, "They look like they have so much fun together on stage!" And I said they do don't they? I mean that's why I adore the band so. Was hilarious when everyone asked me "do you run the Adam fansite?" and "do you work for the band or are you just a REALLY big fan?" Hehe I was such the pimp. Rebecca would be proud.
Mom was right, I should be in PR. LOL.
Meliza did I meet you? I forgets. I'm that wacky redhead TB. The one who screamed when they played Don't Let's Start. LOL.
What an amazing weekend! What an amazing show! Where do the guys get the energy to bounce around on stage like that? I was tired after bouncing to just Oklahoma!
LOL.
Oh and Adam, next time make sure the stage floor is clean. snark
What a blast! I'm still groovin on it!
Anyways I'm rambling, full report soon. With pictures. Lots and lots and LOTS of pictures. I took over 500 this weekend. About 200 of them are CR alone. Yes I am psychotic. But you already knew that.

An awesome show
April 22 2002, 1:24 PM
TB: As far as Adam is concerned, my name is Bus Depot Girl. I get a kick out of that.
As for the show...
I'd like to report that all of the people I spoke with (or the ones I remember speaking with, anyway) at 14Below showed up at Hard Rock Cafe. A lot of the people who showed up for the second JM show hadn't heard of Common Rotation, so I enthusiastically filled them in and loved seeing them show up to find out for themselves how these guys rock. Their comments during the show about how much energy CRo has, how two incredible voices become even more so in harmony, and how lively the whole show were really hit the nail on the head. I've seen some of my favorite artists perform in concert and have decided some of them will remain people I enjoy listening to on CD, because you don't get anything new from the whole, full-on surround-sound experience... nothing new unless you count newly shelled out cash. Common Rotation is not like that, and I dig the shows more than anything I've heard till now.
Pulling us in close for the last song was an incredible way to end and just clarified with no room for doubt that they are some of the coolest performers out there. I think we all felt a little bit of that campfire cozy when they pulled us in near the end - once you've grown up it's nice to have a taste of that again... not just of the memory, but there and then, real and present.
To say they have presence doesn't even cut it. They've got it all - the presence, the talent, the attitude. I love it, and I love having something so reliably fun to look forward to. I think that's why it's so hard for me to leave their shows. After having such genuine fun and a taste of lightheartedness, it's tough to leave that and go back to the workaday grit. Okay, the lawschooladay grit. Same ol'.
Awesome performance, guys - and... remember...
the Westwood Brewing Company loves you! Even more in April or May than on the other side of the summer. (*nudge,nudge*)
Also...
HE-LLO to Danny for a kiss on the hand! Aside from a kiss on the forehead, that's possibly the sweetest way to win ladies over. Rock-star material definitely

Saturday was awesome and Sunday was beyond description. HRC Sunday night was, without a doubt, one of the best shows I've ever been too!
A special thanks to Adam who probably couldn't figure out why we were sitting off to the side where half the band was hidden by the speakers and who decided to grace us with a few verses performed from the side of the stage where we could have an unblocked view. Such a sweetie!
TB - you're adorable...and I do exist.

Dangit. Dont you hate when you forget to mention things? Anyways, I think I do remember you TB but I'm not sure. I need more specifics. Did I comment on your real name and how I thought it was rad? Because if so, then your the person I'm thinking of. Well, I was wearing an orangish blouse and black pants. I was the crazy kookie person all up in Eric's bidness by the stage.

Putting my pics up
April 22 2002, 6:21 PM
I've only got a few right now and they're monster-sized, but I'm just going to leave them like that since it takes forever to work this all on the school computers. More will be up over the next 30 minutes or so till I have all of them up, at
Heya, Meliza - guess I'll be seeing you soon? If you get this before leaving, can you talk to Heather about getting a ride? My house is right on the way from where you are.
Hey Meliza! Deborah! and TB! and everyone else. This weekend was awesome. Especially the performance on Sunday! I had such a blast dancing and singing along! And pulling us in at the end like that was so great. I can't wait to see you all perform again! My cd will just have to get me through til whenever that may be.
Meliza and TB~ You did meet. Right before we left TB gave Meliza the address or something so she could go sign up for ABC. Remember?
Um Deborah I swear I think you're in my head. I was gonna say exactly the same thing.
That is what happened to me too. I was working my butt off promoting and I had people say the same thing to me. All the same things actually. Alot were just blown away by Common Ro. Never expected it. I told them they wouldn't be disappointed and hey I was right.
Hehe ok when I get the email, I'll make that your title. I wanna know the story behind that though.
And you still need to sign my yearbook I think. *g*
We're very in sync on this whole thing I reckon. *g*
Was great seeing you and meeting Briel! and ForeverFaith and all!

I was grinning from ear to ear going to Silverbee "now these are my favorites!" *g* Well those, "Oklahoma", and "Burgundy".

Hey, Briel!
April 23 2002, 1:50 PM
I think it might be because of cookies - did you try refreshing? That's what I do when I change it... but sometimes I think you have to actually clear out the cache to be able to see the new forms. I love the one of you and me.
Hey I am at school and I saw the pics you posted Deborah! So cute. I like the one of us a lot also!
TB~It was cool to meet you too.
I imagine it must be hard to remember everyone you met that night since you were all over the place talking to people. I'm gonna have to check out your club.
I just got back to Northern Cali and I'm still hearing the music in my head! I went to the show at 14 Below to hear James Marsters and heard Common Rotation afterward. I loved their music so much that I pulled my friend down to Hard Rock Cafe to hear them with me! I think my favorite songs are Fortunate and Oklahoma. I love it when Adam and Eric go back and forth for the song Fortunate! I hope the CD is good because I'm going to be getting it asap!
TB - The New west coast Common Ro pimp? lmfao are you kidding me?! Did you go a bit of a posting binge after the shows?? Oh damn your camera!! I was doing what you said, but the thing wouldn't take the bloody picture! I was kind of in a rush b/c out car was waiting, so maybe that's why... I dunno. Hope it turned out. Oh and I didn't do the "thing" because standing there with him I was starting to think it may not be appropriate. It's more something that has to be done spontaneously... it's funner that way. Not that I don't wanna do it, but I just didn't know how he'd react to that.
I didn't get a chance to tell you about the interview much. It went great! We had to do it in Scott's office. That didn't come out right did it? lol. But ya it was so crapt in there, but he was great and there were lots of laughs and fun stories about Joss and James I'll put a transcript online as soon as I can. We also video taped the interview and both shows, so maybe some video clips... we'll see if we can work it.
We gave Adam a cute little Canadian Mounty bear after the interview too lol. I told him I wanted to name it Warren, but he said he'd come up with a name. I know it's cheesy, but it was just for fun
I took 260+ pictures of Common Ro that weekend! I will try and get some online soon as well. bdbdb, you had some nice pix there, of James and Common Ro! I was checking out your photo album when Adam was flipping through it... well you remember. Gotta love those crazy psycho pictures of Adam eh? I was doubting he was actually posessed by Satan until they sang "Oaklahoma"... that was hilarious! Hope you're video turned out... mine was great! It was nice to meet you... I don't think I actually talked to you in February.
Oh and the 14 Below show was great too. Thank you Scott!! You're the best!

did I meet you? If so I was the goofy redhead with the tags round her neck pimping the band. *g* Weren't they fabulous? You will love their cd. They played almost everything off of it Sunday nite all except Rockstar and Did a Verse End which they played Saturday nite. The live version of Oklahoma is much better though IMHO cuz it always changes *g* I thought it was so funny when Adam riffed on being Fortunate not to be on the floor anymore! Wasn't that a riot? *g*
Where in Nor Cal are ya? You must come down again when they play, cuz they rock! And what did you think of James? Did you stay for FSM? They were faboo too!
What did you friend think? And way to go bringing in another fan I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. If we didn't meet this time, we must next time. *g*

"What was so delicately touching was she recalled that I preferred it red..."
Stef-you didn't see me during the James show Sunday nite. EVERYONE kept asking me "do you work for the band or are you just a really big fan?" I was the total pimp hon. Half those people at HRC that were at 14 Below that was my doing! I knew everyone! So yeah I was pimping out the band in NumfarGal's absence
Can I get a copy of that video? I will pay you! I would love to see the whole thing and I have a few friends who are kicking themselves for missing that show Sunday nite who would love to see it. One keeps having to work but he desperately wants to see them. The interview sounds like it was blast! I wish I coulda been there. I was out there somewhere I do reckon cuz I was trying my hardest to get inside! *g*
Oh and EVERYONE has trouble with my camera. It really isn't THAT hard ppl just don't push hard enuf. The pic came out great (the third one that is) and this time, he's not grabbing me round the neck! I moved his hand, saying "hon you always do that" LOL. And I understand bout the thing, Silverbee was ready to say it. I still say we need permission cuz well bdbdb is right, how would you feel if someone came up and did it to you. We could say it how she suggested cuz that sounded cute. LOL now everyone is gonna wonder what the hell we're going on about *g*
Did you like the tags? I didn't see anyone wearing them Sunday nite *pout* And you guys made it back ok I take it?
I wanna see those pics. I had over 500 for the weekend alone
Anyways so lemme know bout the vid! I would love to see that. And when the transcript is up cuz I wanna put it on my site, crediting you two of course. I still have no idea how you wrangled that! You little fenageler! *snark*
*wuvs*

"It's not the size of the mic, it's the length of the song..."
Yeah, I think we did meet. I've been reading your LiveJournal posts about the weekend and remember the nights. I was wearing that overly fancy (hey, why not?) red dress on Saturday. Also a redhead. And you were doing a great job (see other post) at the show!
Their music was great! I just finished downloading the songs they have for download at this site and have been listening to them over and over. I have to add Sit Down as another one of my favorite songs. I do remember Rockstar from Saturday. And Did a Verse End (from reading the lyrics) sounds familiar. And I definitely noticed the changes from both nights of hearing Oklahoma. And I loved the "not to be on the floor anymore" part from Fortunate! Everyone seemed to think that Eric and Adam, or at least Adam, was hurt when they fell at the end of Sit Down. That was too much fun!
Currently I'm living in the "grand" city of Ukiah - north an hour from Santa Rosa and two from San Francisco. Basically, you take off up the 5 to 580 and on to 101 for 8 or 10 hours and you'll find yourself there. Don't ask me why I moved here, the reason escapes me - must have had a moment of insanity.
I loved hearing and seeing James. I was a bit bummed by there not being a meet and great (half the reason I came! *grin*) but enjoyed his show anyways. I'd heard his songs (off the web) and liked them already but Charlie's songs were new to me. I can't think of one I didn't like. And getting to meet Adam, Danny, Tom and Eric (sigh) more than made up for not getting to meet James. Amd I did peak him through the exit before the CR show. BTW, wasn't it hilarious that they played the U2 song Sunday Bloody Sunday when they brought James out. No matter how much of a musician he becomes the "poor boy" will always have to deal with Spike. Was that what the Nigel comment was about at the beginning of JM's set?
I was wandering around during FSM and UFD's performances. I spent alot of time in back talking with some of the other band members, the drummer, another guy, Adam and Eric. Then I was wandering here and there talking to people in the bar and writing to myself (Yeah, I was the crazy girl with the notebook - not the one from Buffy Mag). And Sunday I was wearing bell bottom LEI's and a blue top with white flowers (if that helps to place me) and dancing alot at the back of the crowd. I had Danny and his girlfriend (who stepped on my foot - lol) dancing right next to me at one point.
My friend Tim actually didn't get into the music as much as I hoped he would. He doesn't care for crowds and is more of a DMX fan, so he wasn't in to it much and hid in the back for most of the night but he said it's ok, lol. He did think it was kind of funny to see the actor's from Buffy and to see how short Danny is in person (surprised me too). Me, I like most music (well, except country or christian) so listening to a fun sound like Common Rotation's got was great!
All in all, I had a great time both Saturday and Sunday (went to Magic Mt and stood in lines all day in between) at the two shows (minus the 2nd JM gig)! I really know that if I ever (argh) make it out to LA to live I'll be trying to see CR when they are in town! And of course, if James keeps involved in music, I'll be trying to see him too. I got a hug from Adam, so now I need one from him too.
Lots of Love and Laughter,
Jenny - Astartae
PS - Has anyone else noticed Adam's habit of standing right in front of the women's bathroom after gigs? Nice coincidence - hehehe.
Ok red dress trying to place you... hmmm, it will come to me. And thank you, I had much fun indeed Hehe my LJ posts, long long long but comprehensive. I have no idea what the Nigel crack was. I did love GOTR's songs though. Especially James' ones.
I love all their songs actually I didnt realize it Sunday Bloody Sunday so I really didnt get the joke, but hehe it was a good performance
I know where Ukiah is. I've been up near there before on a road trip with Mom. Hehe yeah why did you choose Ukiah? LOL. I live in Orange County
Other band members-drummer=Professor Ken Beck and bassist=Mike Uhler. Both really sweet I was wandering around during UFD but I had to go in for FSM taking pics for the mag and all plus I love FSM *g* I reckon I screamed when they played Pain! hehe
Danny has a girlfriend? Ok where have I been? LOL.
Ok you were also at Magic Mtn? Man you must have been tired! And hehe James is very huggable I can proudly say I have hugged him twice. *grrrrrrrrrowl* Both times at 14Below when he performed the week before PBP. I really wish he had done a meet n greet I wanted him to sign the photo I had of us. *pout* Aren't the guys great though? All very huggable
Well you definitely must come to more shows! And we will meet up for sure and I will remember you this time. I met so many people that nite I so don't remember who I met and who I didn't meet. That happens when I become little miss social butterfly. LOL.
Oh and I did notice that habit. I'm not even gonna touch that one with my gutter mind though *snark*
And they do that at the end of Sit Down all the time. It's so funny how choreographed it is! LOL I loved the riff on Fortunate though, I'm still laughing at the thought of it. *g*

TB - I saw you at the James show! You gave my CR flyers to pass out. I got rid of most of 'em... gave them out I mean. I was able to watch the show from the pool room doors at least! Heh. I was in the night before for Common Ro, so it wasn't a huge loss being at the back.
For the tapes... I still need to get the proper attatchments to make copies for Matt and the guys. (They're coming Matt! I promise!) The 14 Below show was hard to focus because it was so dark and when the lights kept going on and off making it impossible to get a good shot until they brightened the stage up. I am curious to see how Scott's tape turned out... I assume he'll have clips on the 14 below site soon.
The Hard Rock show was much better. The sound wasn't ass muffled and stuff because we were farther back from the amps. People kept walking infront of the camera at the beginning. I was getting so irritated! My battery died in the middle of "Oaklahoma"! They had one and a half songs left and it died! I was soooo disappointed b/c I didn't get the intimate acoustic thing! But other than that the rest of the tape was great!
But, I didn't wanna be giving away copies of it to people so they could make copies for all their friends and such. Email me.
And as for the tag... I had my tag around my wrist for a good part of the night Saturday. I had my camera around my neck and the two kept getting all askew. It may have been under my envelope when I was carrying my pix around too. PLus I was wearing a long sleeved sweatshirt, so it may have also been shuved up into my sleeve or something. But it was there! I did forget about my glowstick though lol. I think it's in the bottom of my bag somewhere...?
The interview was better than we could have hoped for (thanks Adam!!) I thought for sure I'd screw something up, but it went nice and smooth just like we wanted. Scott came in half way through and got Melissa all destracted lol. But she was able to form some semblence of a sentence and get the question out. I mean I looked like an ass on the tape, I had a cold that night as you could probably tell by my croaky voice and my eyes were itchy as hell! I'm just glad my cough medicine lasted through the interview! God bless Robitussin! lol. But Adam was wonderful! He gave us his full attention and his answers were great! He was so sweet and funny I hope he liked the little mounty bear lol.
Oh Common Girl - Adam answered your Buffy/Batman question! lol. You can read it in the transcript when we get it online You'll have to explain the whole thing to me because I had no clue what he was talking about :P
My god that was a long post... I'm done now lol.

Video Clips.
April 24 2002, 2:11 AM
A couple of clips are up.
More later, once I clear some space on frickin geocities. I have to figure out who is getting deleted...candid Jason Behr clips or PBP clips. Blah.
LOL I know you saw me but I mean you didn't see me inside the stage area. That's what was happening! LOL.
Ok good you wore your tag. Yes I hear ya about it getting twisted, I was wearing two and my digicam kept getting stuck in them! And I was carrying an extra battery inside the ABC one and well everytime I danced or bounced up and down it fell out *g*
I will email you regarding the tape. And I'm sorry it died sweetie that sucketh majorly. I've had that happen with my digicam batteries. They die just when I need them most! Luckily I bought 6 that weekend so I had no trouble this time. Just wish my rechargeable would hold the charge longer.
Sweetie you looked fine. I myself was losing my voice by Sunday nite, I commented to Silverbee about it and she said "stop screaming." LOL I was like I can't it's Common Ro! I think I'm still trying to get most of it back. *g*
You were a big help with those flyers doll. I couldn't get the rest of them out cuz I was in line, so I thank you for assisting me
And in terms of lighting and sound yeah the HRC show was better. I remember commenting a few times about "we need lights!" at the 14B show and I was sitting on the stage and couldn't see! But once it got going the lighting worked out ok I reckon
I am still so jealous you got to do that interview! Like I said you little fenageler you! *g* Lucky you two I'm quite envious.
I hear ya about God bless meds. When I had my wisdom tooth out that time before the Mollys gig, I was doped on Vicodin earlier that day so thank Joss for that cuz I wasn't in much pain till near the end of the nite. But the smooch helped take that pain away *weg*
And yes that was a long post! I have to work between my email and the message board to respond! LOL.
Can't wait to see you two again

Were you able to get both clips to play okay? I had a problem with the second one this morning from home and thought I had screwed it up somehow. Which would suck as it is the longer of the two. Am I allowed to say suck on this board? Oh well, spank me later if I was naughty.
Anyway, I have several more clips to add as well as a ton of photo's. I plan to work on all that stuff Saturday and Sunday.
Yeah both clips worked And your site exceeded transfer so I will have to enjoy the rest of yummy Jason later *g* I so wanna meet him. I was in Oz when you were at that filming. Didn't get back till 11/26. But ooh he's so yummy! I remember that ep too, the Xmas one.
Can't wait for the rest of the pics and vids!
Mine will be up soon. I get to upload over 500 someodd pictures and then label them. Plus the ones from the last Mollys gig and I took over 100 then. Yeah I'm really looking forward to that. LOL.

Those pics are fabulous! I love the one of James and Adam, looks like James is feeding him the mike! *snark* Those are really goofy! I love it
And I peeked at your BC pics. How gorgeous! I am a big fan of sunset and clouds and nature pics as well (you should see how many pics I took of snow covered mountains in New Zealand!) so I totally understand your obsession with the island. What a cool trip. Sounds amazing
You only got one Mollys pic outta the whole time you were standing behind me? For shame I say!
And I recognize Meliza now. Hehe who woulda thought I could forget her! LOL.
And I do reckon I have seriously dominated this thread. LOL.

Ok, I'm responding a little late. Now that I'm back "home" real life has kept me from getting back on this forum till now.
Even though it's been almost a week already I'm still reeling from my trip down to LA. Common Ro really made my trip. I'm so glad I have a new band to love listening to! I'm wearing out the mp3s they had to download - I so need to buy the cd (need to hear Oklahoma and Fortunate again!).
Why did I choose Ukiah? Like I said, insanity took control of me. Actually I had planned to move to San Francisco area within a year of moving here but it never happened. I've since decided I don't really want to move to SF. LA on the other hand... I really want to move back to Los Angeles. The trip back made me realize just how much I miss that city. (lived there as a youth)
I don't know FSM's music that well, so I didn't lose much by wandering. I was enjoying talking to people too much to notice the music after James' GOTR and Common Rotation played.
About Danny having a girlfriend - I don't know that she was actually. I just assumed since they were dancing together. They could have just been friends. Or maybe just some girl asked him to dance. I don't know. All I know is first he was standing behind me, then he was dancing with this blond girl who stepped on my foot. I thought it was funny when I looked over and saw them dancing and he (noticing the foot stepping obviously) shrugged at me. So I shrugged back. There wasn't much I could do about it (and my foot recovered - hehe).
Anyway it was nice to meet Danny and Tom and Adam (and to see all three of them together like that was a bit too hilarious for me). A friend online asked why they were all together and I told him that their real life is just a cover, that they really are planning some evil scheme.
Danny was a sweetie. So was Adam. So was Eric...
Yeah, I crazily decided to go to Magic Mt before I went to HRC that night. I got home and was so tired I almost didn't want to go (thinking of driving and traffic) but knew I'd regret it if I didn't go. I'm glad I went, obviously!
James is very huggable, huh? Well, if you get to hug him anytime soon tell him that he owes a cute redhead a hug since he didn't do the meet and greet. Maybe I'll get another chance. Of course, if I'm living down there I'll have more opportunity to see GOTR shows... Know anyone who's renting a room? **grin**
You sound like the person to hang out with at these shows. I'm not so much of a social butterfly so I need to go with someone else who is to help keep me from ending up in a dark corner standing alone.
I loved what they did at the end of Sit Down and the beginning of Fortuante. They should make that line Adam added part of the song, I think. Anyone remember exactly what he said? I've been racking my brain trying to remember but I know I'm screwing it up.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that "habit" of Adam's. ROFL!! Someone should call him on it and see what he says!
"I guess I'm fortunate, that I got up off the floor. I guess I'm fortunate that I'm not down there no more. The drums are so loud don't you know. He kicked it right to the back of my head. I can't hear a thing and I wish I was dead!"
And then Eric was like "I guess I'm fortunate, that he got up off the floor..."
Lmfao that was so great! I don't know how they come up with that stuff on the spot like that. He was down there for a while, so I guess he had time to think of it. I got that on video, so I've been watching it like, every day since I got back! That was just the best concert ever!

That sounds about right! I'm glad someone else has a decent memory (even if it's video memroy - hehe. btw, what does one have to do to get a copy? what part of my soul do you want? ). It's weird, I can remember the lyrics to tons of songs without even trying but I can't remember what someone said to me two minutes ago to save my life. Thanks, that was something I wanted to remember!
I really wish Fortunate was on the cd. I like that song more each time I've heard it. Hopefully it will be on the next cd. That was really cute how they changed the words on Sunday. Very clever!
Fortunate's not on the CD?! What am I going to do? I don't know if I can live without hearing that song again soon! Someone has to convert video to mpeg to mp3, with or without CR's permission (j/k!). Someone better let them know how much their fans need to hear that song when we are at home sitting in front of our computer screens...
Like I told TB, I'm not sure I wanna be distributing copies all over. I certainly will not doing it for money anyway, all I'd ask for is the cost of the tape and shipping. You can email me though... I still have to make up my mind about it.
I will be putting up video clips on http://adam-busch.net as soon as I can. So if I can't send you an actual tape, you can atleast view the good parts online
And yes, I hope Fortunate makes it onto the new album too. It's just the best, most fun song ever! Definately one of my faves! I really like their cover of "Root Down" too. They can sing, thay can rap, they can do the running man, they can be cute and they can be funny :P ... is there anything they *can't* do?!

I'm still reeling too. I was reliving the weekend for my Grams and Mom this weekend in Vegas. Turns out because of the weekend I now have a career goal: Public Relations for Disney. It's all due to the fun I had being a street teamer on Saturday and Sunday. Hehe
Yes come back to LA. I actually wanted outta the valley and LA county and prefer Orange County. It's quieter *g* Where in LA are you from? I am from Granada Hills, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley for 18 years *g*
FSM was the original band behind "Dingoes Ate my Baby" on Buffy. One of their biggest ones that is featured on the show and the Buffy soundtrack is Pain, the Slayer mix. Also my fave song of theirs. But they totally rock. Dilate is another awesome one. You get a chance, take a listen to them if you can (dl their mp3s) or come to a gig. They kick live and they are as sweet as can be! I got hugs from all of them too and this time Tad didn't yell at me. LOL.
That's not Danny's gf if you're talking bout the tall really pretty redhead. I know who it is but won't say unless I have permission *g* But she's a total sweetheart LOL I stepped on someone's foot myself at the GOTR show that nite and I had boots on! I felt so bad but it was hard to maneuver. And lol that's too funny bout Danny. He's a sweetie. Always seems to stand behind me at gigs and I have to make sure I'm not blocking him. LOL.
LOL at what you told your friend. They're all really huggable And at the end of the nite Danny and Tom were standing behind my car so of course I had to say goodnite *g*
Oh yeah James is very very very huggable! I couldn't stop hugging him Feb 9th. LOL after I took the pic with Thumper I went "I gotta have one more hug" He was only happy to oblige. I wish he had done meet n greets. But he's not doing them for a while. Oh and GOTR is playing again May 18th apparently. I was asked to photograph it and I can't cuz I will be working. But it's supposed to be at 14 Below with a full band this time. Ooh and you're a redhead too? Redheads rule!
LOL why thank you *blushes*. Oh I will keep you out on the dance floor totally. And then I will drag you round while I got bug Adam *g* cuz he's just so fun to bug I never liked dark corners much myself. *g*
As for Fortunate, I reckon it was what Stefanie had posted. I was cracking up that he was on the floor that long! And yes yes Fortunate needs to be on the next cd. NOW! *g*
LOL and do you mean the habit of putting his arm round your neck like he's trying to tell you something? LOL yes I did notice it and mentioned it. I moved his hand *g* Or were you talking bout another habit?
I love your quote btw
And hehe that was a long post! Whew!

Yeah yeah I could sing his praises all day. We know this already *snark*
I loved that verse of Fortunate! I was just cracking up everytime I look at the pics! And I wanna see that video! *pout*

I really don't think there is much they can't do. But then again we already established that I can't sing their praises enough. *g* So I'll shut up now but I do reckon everyone will agree with me when I say COMMON RO RULES!
Yeah I'm hyper. I won 140 bucks this weekend. I have a reason to be. *g*
