The 11 hours my friend Justin and I drove to see the show was more than worth it- I have never been so blown away.
I'm going to see them again sometime soon, I just wish it wouldn't take me 20 or more hours to get to NYC- not that it wouldn't be more than worth it
Anyone else with that distance problem?

I think I remember seeing you there...weren't you sitting in the back corner of the room for a while?
The show was well worth whatever anyone had to do to get there. They sounded fantastic and I loved the fact that there was such a small crowd, it made it that much more fun.

Yes, I too have the problem of distance to deal with. I was thrilled to death that they came to Chicago because getting out to California or New York just isn't very easy for me. However, I will be flying to see them at the Universal City Walk show on the 24th. I'm so excited about it!

i remember you of course, and you probably remember me. i tried to steal your ID (not!) because we look so much alike and i need ppl to think i'm over 21 ... no, under 21 ... wait. i was just a bit dazed and confused at that point in the weekend

i'm glad you and justin had a good time. it was an awesome show (hi to Shelly too!) and the distance problem is the same for me. that was the big draw for getting them here for this event. august is just a bad month for me to leave work, so i can't make it out to city walk, but i would love to see them in NYC before they take time off for recording the new cd. i'm not sure how many shows they will have during that time shrug ...

so, road trip for the 30th anyone? :D

Hi yourself, ronia!

Wow, I'm off work the 29th & 30th of August, too...hmmmmm......could be interesting. By the way, did you get the pictures I sent you?


And Heather...yes, I definitely remember you now - I recall ronia chasing you down to give you your ID back...heehee.

the 30th would be interesting, and yes i did

in fact, i just sent you a little note covering all of these topics.

*g* i was running a lot that night huh? you should see the tape of us acting out the Musical. too funny!

and, on the drive home, jack told me "i miss our group." he's such a lovey dovey little guy. btw, sorry Adam if he just about toppled you over that first time! and thanks for playing the song he requested. i think he was thoroughly in awe because he couldn't even sing along.

"she of too many roles in the re-enactment"

Ok, that's it Shell. We have to quit our jobs and just take to travelling.

We'll pick Ronia up on the way!

I'm still in awe over the show last night. I can't wait to get my pictures developed. I'lll send you a link to them when I get them in my album, guys.

Oh, lord, I forgot about that 'Musical' thing....eep! Sure..."come on, it's not like you'll ever see me again" says Dogmeat....right! Oh, well, it was fun anyway! I'd probably do it again in a heartbeat, too! LOL!!

too many of my digital pics came out blurry too. i really need to get my own digital camera so that i have no one to blame but myself because the one i had is really starting to perturb me grr

anyway the pictures are up, some are kinda blurry, but most i put there are good

enjoy! and more will come because i have to scan in the morning.


good night!
i am tired!

I was kind of hard to miss, huh? I wish I could go see them again this month so I say :P at you guys who get to go- maybe you can send me pictures!
Speaking of pictures, my camera was MIA for the Chicago show- can anyone e-mail me a few?
Thanks

Well, my id wouldn't have helped you achieve any diabolical schemes to be under 21, but if you wanted to convince people that you're a master of disguise and you'll be turning 22 in April then you can have it

Ya I got a distance problem. A big one! I'm smack in the middle of Canada. I have to drive 7 hours to the nearest major city or 2000 to LA or NY. I am going to be in LA on Saturday for their shows this week, but it's costing me an arm and a leg! Over one grand atleast.

My dad says this is the last trip he's paying for. It's my 4th major trip in 6 months. Is he being unreasonable? I'd like to believe so, but obviously the only unreasonable thing here is that I'm actually GOING on 4 trips in 6 months!

These guys are starting to become quite an expensive hobby! After this I won't be able to go again till the PBP in Feb... or until I get me a job. Does Common Ro need to hire roadies? There's a job for me!

It sucks... really sucks.
