how did everyone like the common ro show tonight at Universal Citywalk tonight? what was your favorite part/song?

share your stories.

I had never seen the whole band before. Just Adam and Eric in LA with They Might Be Giants and with the Professor at The HOB. I wasn't aware of all the attention thrust on them. In such a serious way. I wasn't prepared for it. The cameras and the videos and the flashing. But I'm aware that it's citywalk and what that kind of atmosphere lends itself to. HOwever this band is amazing. The rhythm section was incredible and didn't take away from the original folk aspect I liked. They put on a show and seem to play to whatever the atmosphere is. Like they did tonight. I'm curious to see what approach they take on Tuesday. It's like certain bands are really simple and pretend to be deep and have substance. These guys have substance and pretend to be fun and lighthearted. There a sadness to that, especially among the bright lights and corporate jimmy-jammy of universal studios. But they know what they're doing and it's interesting. I can't wait to hear the new record. They must have a lot of fun, those guys.

I had seen Adam and Eric open for TMBG in Phoenix and they were great, but this show was even better! Plus two sets, much longer than their performance in Phoenix. The show was excellent and a lot of fun.. I even got to meet Danny Strong which was cool cos I heart him . And there was greetage after the show... got my poster and cd signed by everyone in the band. TB and I have a million pictures on her digital camera and several on my film camera as well, so I am sure those will be posted soon. Must get back to Phoenix and get my piccies developed. We're leaving LA to head back later today. Sorry to have to miss Tuesday's show, but work calls. Will definitely be back to LA in the future tho

Wow. I became interested in Common Ro cuz of Adam and his role on Buffy, but I am now dedicated to the band. The music's making me stay. This band is so talented and the show was so electric. I loved when Adam made up lyrics and when they did the mike check thing in the first song. That was so funny! These guys are so nice too! During the 2nd set, my friends and I stood on the side of the stage instead of the front. We where next to where Eric was and he sang to us a few times! He even totally remembered us when we met. They were so sweet in signing everything and they talked to us and everyone else. Eric was amazing (and gorgeous). He said he liked my hat and my sunglasses and Adam started singing that song "I Wear My Sunglasses at Night." It was so cute! And when Eric didn't have anything to sign, he came over and just started talking to me! Amazing? Yes. He was great and took a picture with me and my friends that probably won't come out cuz my camera has no flash and Adam even came out from behind the barracades to take a picture with us. Such sweeties. I love Common Ro, the music, the guys, the show, the vibe. It's all amazing and incredible and I love them!!! Oh, and Jared Padalecki, "Dean" from Gilmore Girls was around during the break. And Cece, you met Danny Strong??? He was there? OMG Where!?

I've had a practically sleepless last few days and am not in any state of mind to write a response... I will have to do so later. For now I've scanned my pics and they're posted at:
http://www.efn.org/~brideb/Deb/cro.html

Someone's been messing with the scanner and I'm going through halving them right now. If you look at this shortly after my posting, the pictures might be monstrous... but they won't always be so.

The last pictures will be up when I finish the roll. Also, some of Briel's pictures will be up in about ten minutes (same page) - there's a very cute picture of her with Eric!

Ugggggggh. Tonight I will sleep nineteen hours.

but check out our pics...there are some REALLY! cute ones. I LOVE the one of me and Eric!

back in illinois too

off to look at the pics, yea! (mine will be coming as soon as they are developed)

it was great seeing you guys. was that fun or what? now you have an idea of what chicago was like, only even closer and unplugged. sadly, without Mike


ronia aka Dana
"she of the blue shirt and butterfly necklace"

Briel & Deborah - it was great meeting you both. I'm glad we got to talk and I don't think we could have gotten better spots for the show - front & center! You're pictures are awesome. (I didn't even think to take a picture of the screen, that's cool.) Deborah, I love the one with you in front of the stage! That came out so good. And Briel - way cool pic with Eric! Very cute!! And I think that's my hair in the background right behind you. I saw that one picture of Mike and thought at first that you put it up sideways...then I remembered he was lying on the stage. I can't wait to see how mine turn out. Let me know how the show is on Tuesday.


Ronia,

Glad you made it home OK. I'll catch up with you later in the week before you leave for New York. (grrrr...I'm still jealous).

Well, I'm off to get some sleep!

Shelly

I think it has been said before but---- Great Show! The guys were in top form. Had a really good time and got to hang out with a good friend. My brother even enjoyed the show. Don't really have a story to share. Finally met Eric and Mike tho.
Loved Savior (as always). And the new stuff sounds really good. I can't wait for the new album.
I'm glad I got a chance to meet some of you instead of just hearing stories from my friend.
Everyone who gets to see the show Tuesday, have a great time. I am so jealous. But I am not taking the night off and driving 6 hours. Wish I could be there. Take loads of pics and share your stories.

elizabeth ann

Ok so what now we can't respond to each other's entries? I dunno if that is good or bad... hmm...

Anyways, the show kicked ass. To everyone I met, Ronia and Shelly, you guys are awesome. I wish we had more time to gab but I was network tinsel girl. LOL. Oh and Ronia I didn't tell you but I love your Butterfly necklace!

Sydney-Yes Danny was there for like ten minutes during the break. I grabbed Cece so she could meet him and hugged him and told him we missed him. But he had to disappear as he was going on vaction for a few days.

Ok so I missed half of the first set cuz we were at Amy's bday party (girl in red Glory type dress and tiara) but I saw the second set. I was the one who shouted out "What We Have Now!" when Adam pointed to me and asked me what I wanted to hear. I also screamed Thank You a million times cuz that and Burgundy are my fave songs and he rarely performs WWHN! So now he owes me Burgundy g Hehe I was also the girl in the Tigger backpack. I told you guys I'd wear it one day Everyone seemed to like to tap it's nose! Haha.

They rocked hardcore per usual. Just wish the Mounty wasn't in the way. I swear his hat is in lots of my pics! Grrr. Oh well. It was great to see they had such a crowd! And it was so great to see you Briel, Deborah, Callistamorgan, Gypsychick, Bdbdb, Marcella, Stefanie, Melissa, and Deborah. Sorry we didn't have more time to gab, I was being miss network gal. Haha.

Oh and I did laugh when Adam messed up Oklahoma and realized it. He did the second verse first. Silly boy.

Wasn't Namaan the kick though? He is so cool

Hey got a question for ya all, if I could get them booked at Disneyland would any of you guys come see them? I'm working on getting them booked on the Club Buzz stage, the same one Barrage just left *sob sob* I think it would be good, what do you guys think? I know the guys liked the idea Now I just gotta put it into action

So who is going Tuesday? I may be dragging some coworkers along and a few friends may be meeting me there. I'm hoping it will be a smaller, quieter set so that maybe I can have some time to actually talk to Adam a bit and not feel like I'm hogging him when I'm trying to get pics and stuff signed quickly cuz I have to go back to a bday party. Hehe always doing a million things at once. I feel like such a nudge sometimes.

Anyways so yeah I had a blast So great to see them after a month of no CR! And twice in a month so I'm mighty happy

Cece-glad you made it home safe. We have to do this again This time with Summer!

It was seriously the best concert i have ever been to! Common Rotation always puts on the most amazing shows. If anyone was wondering, heres the set list (to the best of my remembrance, anyway )
SET 1-The First Time, Rock Star, More Complex Than it Sounds, Lena, Radio DJ, Did A Verse End, Answering Machine (new song on new album), Post Modern, Cowboy, Hey Mr. DJ, Fortunate
SET 2-Here I Go (whitesnake song), Indie Rockin, All my Time, What We Have Now, Savior, Oklahoma
There you go, though its most likely wrong lol. They didnt play Burgandy , even though many people asked for it (i even said please...) but I loved the show!! I know i saw Sit Down on the set list, but i guess they ran out of time (city walk and their tight schedules lol)
I was glad to finally meet Mike!! Hes great.
One of the coolest parts of the show was during Savior when Adam Smiled for everyones cameras I got some great close up pics from that. And during Oklahoma he touched Kelly and Stef's(i think) heads , that was cool...

Hey,
Deborah,

would I beable to use some of your city walk photos
on my website if I give you credit? Unfortunately
I have not been fortunate enough to attend a CR show
yet, cus i live in Canada. So could I? I will give you full credit, promise, even a link 2 the online photo album. .
my site is not fineshed, but here's a sneak peak.

"Ok so what now we can't respond to each other's entries? I dunno if that is good or bad... hmm..."

~TB~ yeah I noticed that too...I wonder what's up with that...it's kinda annoying. Where'd the little button go! lol

Also I thought that he switched the verses on Oklahoma on purpose. :shrug:

Set List One:
~First Time ~More Complex Than It Sounds ~Rock Star
~Lena ~DJ ~Did A Verse End ~Answering Machine
~Post Modern ~Cowboy ~Hey Mr. DJ ~Fortunate

Set List Two (too short! ):
~Here I Go ~Indie Rockin ~All My Time ~Now
~Savior ~Oklahoma

So yeah I thought it was a great show and it was really awesome to meet everyone. Shelly, it was great to meet you! I hope to do it again sometime. LOL Who knows when that will be though. And yeah that is your head in my GREAT pic with Eric! LOL
I thought that was so cool that you and Ronia and everyone came all that way for the show.

Is it Tuesday yet?

The way I posted my last message, it sounded like I was halving the people who messed with the scanner instead of the photos themselves. Rest assured this is not the case. I am much more humane in my meting out of punishment. I far prefer quartering!

Sorry, sorry, bad joke. Just plain awful, like the one I got in my inbox earlier: "Because it's the future." You don't even want to know the joke that punchline was attached to.

Shelley & Ronia:
Meeting you was the best part of the show! You gals were so sweet; I hope I get a chance to chat with you more in the future. As for you, Ronia, I hope we west-coasters can count on good NY show info from you!

Rachel:
Sent you an e-mail... wordy in the Deborah manner, but basically saying, go for it!

Deborah: Thanks for putting up those photos!

I'm a very new fan - first saw these guys at the John Anson Ford opening for TMBG and enjoyed the set immensely. I also went to see them at Citywalk the other night - great show again, but I think I like the acoustic duo versions of the songs better. Anyway, I converted live recordings of both versions of Oklahoma (7/26/02 acoustic & 8/24/02 full band) and put the MP3 files up on a web page. They'll be there only for a few days, before I erase them to save disk space. Take a listen if you are interested.

Justin

That was seriously a lot of fun. I have to say, I owe the whole thing to Magz. If it weren't for you we wouldn't have been there in the first place. I very much appreciate you inviting us out there. We had an awesome two days in California thanks to you. Thank you so much, we owe you big time.

Briel, maybe if we can get them to Chicago again you & Deborah can come here this time! I was honestly trying to back up to get out of your picture but I had nowhere to go! Well, at least it's just the back of my head. I had someone looking over my shoulder while I was taking a picture with Eric. Very nice. When I get around to scanning in some of my pictures I can send them to you if you want to see them. Some of them turned out really good.

I also wanted to say that it was great meeting everyone there on Saturday. I apologize for forgetting some of your names, please forgive me, but I did enjoy talking to you all. I hope you guys have a great time on Tuesday & I want to hear all about it!

Shelly

hehe ... because i'm evil

just kidding. oh you know you will get a recap from me. a novel length and all. only 4 more days. well, technically 3 because i am heading out Thursday evening to get partway there and pick up some friends for the rest of the trip.

it was great seeing you again Deborah and meeting you Briel since we didn't really connect back in April. it was the best part of the night sharing the front row with you guys. i can't believe how well your shot came out of you in front of the guys performing.

highlights of the evening:
1. Getting there during rehearsal and finding Briel and Deborah
2. Finding Stef and friend, although I think they were scared of us at first, lol
3. the reactions of people in the crowd to Adam and Eric falling down all over the place
4. Eric pushing Adam around during the "we're really big up there" portion of the show
5. Adam almost tripping over Mike laying on the groung (held my breathe there because I thought he knew where Mike was, then it seemed like he didn't. Thought he might take out Mike and the drums. )
6. Adam "preaching" about O-Town and believing in the new music
7. That new version of Oklahoma
8. Naaman performing with the guys - Loved it! "Product of my mind"
9. the little boy and girl telling jokes: "when is a car not a car? highlight to see the answer: when it turns into a driveway" hehe

Not so-related yet still good things: The cutie working for CityWalk in the white and green shirt. yum. there's a picture of mine with him in the background. poor thing wouldn't stop biting his nails all evening.

Not so-good things: The girl with the really high voice yelling things right behind my head. Not noticing that Danny Strong was there. Waiting too long to let the newer fans get turns during the meet & greet thus missing my photo op turn with Adam and Eric (although not so miffed about the latter ... breathe out, letting go, not important, better things in life to focus on) :P

hm, what else? have fun Tuesday you guys! the venue sounds interesting. i can't wait to get to New York and spend the weekend exploring. oh, and someone emailed me. gotta get back to them. i am not ignoring you!


ronia

You F***ing Rock!!!!!! Thank you for the songs!

just wanted to say thanks for putting up those two versions. now we have proof of the "new" rendition of Oklahoma from 8/24

i love the live mp3s from the site. the cd is awesome of course, but nothing beats the shows and a mp3 of them live is the next best thing.

getting them now. don't get in trouble with the Uni net admins tsk tsk lol

ronia

P.S. Hi Shelly! Gonna call so we can get rolling on that Chicago thing?

Shelly~ You know I'd love to see your pics! I love pics! And I don't mind that you are in the pic. I'd be mad if someone was peering over my shoulder like you said you had...someone was in my pic with Amy Acker at the PBP in Feb. and I was like no! lol

Ronia~ I have a pic of Eric pushing Adam around from when they are looking at the screen...Pretty funny times!

Hey Ronia,

I didn't forget about you. We had to run out and get some stuff for Fezzik and we stopped to eat dinner. By the time we got home it was almost 10:00 and I didn't want to call & wake up Jack. I tried to e-mail you but my stupid DSL isn't working. I'm on my dial up connection right now. I will try again tomorrow. Let me know when it's OK to call you up until.

Shelly

Briel - As soon as I get my butt in gear I'll send you the pictures. I have one of the shoving match, too. That was cute.

OK, I'm officially off to bed now! Talk to you guys tomorrow!

Shelly

I feel disinclined to type my standard 20-pager about the show, but here's what I do have to say. (Usually this means I'm just going to write an even longer message, but I always mean it when I start writing.)

We arrived a couple of hours early and wandered around for a while as the band set up. My party watched them and even flirted with the guys at the next table, beginning with an innocent enough, "Have you heard 'Common Rotation' before?" I was stumbling around blearily, though, and was too busy staring into space to engage much.

The show was preceded by contests for which the winners would receive gift certificates to a bowling alley about 100 feet away. One of them was a joke contest, then a pick-up line contest ("My homie says 'what's up?'" <-- seriously!), and the last involved celebrity impersonations. I used to be able to imitate Jack Nicholson PERFECTLY, and gave that a shot, but I've lost my touch in the ten years since I last tried it. Imagine that! The children won most of the competitions they took part in, and they were so freakin' cute it would've taken Arctic hearts not to vote for them.

The two sets were separated by approximately half an hour. The first set seemed a little off. "Off" by Common Rotation standards is still a far superior show, but the energy seemed a little low. They joked at one point that it was freaky being up there at CityWalk and I wonder if that was just a little intimidating at first. (Even after opening for They Might Be Giants, go figure! I guess nervous is nervous no matter how many times you've done a thing.) The second set was superb form. They seemed much more relax and we even were treated to "What Do We Have Now" and "Oklahoma," both of which are favorites of mine. I tried not to be disappointed that they didn't play "Offstage Lines" but consoled myself with the thought there'll soon be a couple of CDs out... at which point I'll be able to listen to it whenever I please.

I do prefer the smaller venues, but I'll take what I can get since all of it is still rockin', indie and every other kind imaginable by man. Looking forward to tomorrow's show after a long day at school, and wishing already it weren't so freakin' long till their next show. (Hoping they get some time to recuperate and feel the lovin' instead of just the stress of trying to please crowds of music starved for groovy music, since it's so hard to find...)

A good show by all means, even with Mr. Mounty. "You think you can take 'em? There's lots of them and only one of you?" (paraphrasing) It was fun to watch them joke about being on the big screen, with Eric pushing Adam all over the place and then Adam joking maybe we'd rather see that than them singing folk songs. Best yet, they could sing and WE would bounce around! Easier to do in those more intimate places, but I did my best to express my appreciation through attempts at groovin'.

Many folks enjoyed chatting with the band after the show was over. I witnessed pictures of people enjoying this part of the show, even if I was too busy staring blankly at the sky again to notice... 'twas a beautiful night of great music. Why not contemplate the night sky with a goofy grin?

poor Fezzik. how is he doing?

Jack was in bed early due to the no nap, but it doesn't really matter what time you call because i have the ringer set so it won't wake him. he slept through those storms we had last week, and yet rustling paper can wake him. cracks me up.

catch you tomorrow. i should be getting some sleep myself.


ronia

A few more things:

Magz:
Thanks for welcoming Shelley and Ronia here - yay for making CityWalk an even cooler place to be!

Justin:
I think I'm going to cry listening to this acoustic version. THIS IS INCREDIBLE! F***ING INCREDIBLE! How are these guys not topping the charts? I'm not You rock my freakin' world. I'm not kidding. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

G'night, Ronia, Shelley! Hopefully I'll have a chance to make it Chicago sometime - got (other) friends there!

Ok this not being able to respond is getting beyond annoying and making the threads even longer.

Anyways...

Justin-I'm dling them now. Thank you so much! And welcome to the world of Common Ro Ok now I am listening to them, these Effin rock! You rock for doing this! The TMBG gig version sounds like the one they did at HG that time

Shelly-your pics rocked! I know I owe you an email, I'm working on it

Ronia-I hope I wasn't the high pitched one. Haha. And everyone seemed to miss Danny. I just happened to be chillin with Kat and Courtney when he popped on over and I grabbed Cece and real quietly said "would you like to meet Danny Strong?" Hehe. I'm wicked evil like that And yes please, a NY update would be super!
Oh and I cracked up when he tripped. The darn Mounty was in my way so I couldn't get good pics of them on the floor! *pout* Also I loved when he kept looking at us during "Smile for the Camera" cept my stupid camera wouldn't focus and snap the shot. Sometimes I love my digital, other times I wanna shoot the bloody thing when it doesn't focus when I want it to! Grrr.

And Damnit I missed More Complex Than It Sounds! Arrrrgh! I was late cuz Amy's bday party went long. Otherwise I woulda heard it. Missed Lena too. Grrr. Oh well now Adam owes me those and Burgundy *g*

I now have Adam singing Oklahoma slowly. I can die a very happy bear now This sounds just like the HG version they did when they were standing behind me and Jeff. *le sigh* Memories...

Briel-I don't think he did it on purpose. If you saw his face, he laughed when he realized he had mixed up the verses. Hehe I will see you Tuesday

Deborah-great review I had fun watching Amy and her friend Jodi attempting to pat the Mounty's hat on the big screen I also had fun watching others' reactions during the first set. I got more involved second set and was network girl first set. Or well half of first set. Haha.

Danielle-I wanted to meet you! We need to meet up next time for sure Glad you had a good time!

Ok so I have 4 people lined up that I am attempting to drag to tomorrow's show. We'll see if they all come I sure hope so, I love spreading the Gospel

They need to record this version of Oklahoma Live sounds soooooo much better! Even if he mixed up the verses. I think you can hear me laughing. That or screaming. Haha.

This msg is getting long. I'll stop now but I am so excited to see them tomorrow! On my day off finally!

Update: I think this post carries the record for the number of smilies used in one post Here's one more!

Shelly, you're more than welcome! Jeff and I had a blast with you and Mike for the weekend. My parents enjoyed having you there, too. I can't believe how much we crammed into that many days and that we didn't just fall over when it was all done. LoL

The Buffy tour on Sat was TOO cool. Hehehe I wonder if the other people from the school ended up at the show. I didn't see them but ......

<sigh> And it's back to work tomorrow. Very sad thing.

Magz

Quick sum-up of random thoughts:

Seemed to me the sound was crap if you weren't standing a bit centered. Started off a little shaky... I'd caught the tail end of sound check as I was walking through and it sounded fine then, but I guess was knocked out of whack before the actual show, because some of the levels required adjusting. Through the first song Adam had to do some long-distance gesturing the guy manning the board, but got it all sorted quickly and things sounded pretty great from there.

Venue felt weird. I did love that all those random people wandering by could see the band... I hope it results in a LOT more new fans. But I've never liked CityWalk much, and the energy was strange. A friend was commenting that there's also the expectation factor... I'd been hyping the band to some people who actually ended up coming, so there's that anxiety of wondering if they're enjoying it.

The second set, unfortunately, was completely ruined by the guy standing behind me, who was singing along -- very loudly, very poorly, and he didn't know the words. So if there's any tall skinny males out there who were wearing a blue polo-ish shirt on Saturday, singing along with the band and making dumbassed comments to your companions... you're lucky to be alive, pal, and if you run across me again you ain't gonna be so lucky.

Justin: You are the man. Bless your soul.

Speaking of souls, if you ever happen to be hitchhiking down a long and lonesome highway, and there shines and shiny demon on the middle of the road, and he says "Play the best song in the world or I'll eat your soul", you all KNOW all you gotta do to vanquish that sucker is whip out your Common Rotation MP3's. Furthur proof that Common Ro is the PEOPLE'S folk band, and indeed, the best folk band in the world. Amen.

Ha ha ha!!

"Be you angels?"
"Nay - we are but men! Rock!!"

Gotta love the Tenacious D, baby. Why do people always look at me funny when I say that I like them? Hmmmmm...

See you tonight, Otter (well, maybe...if I can turn all psychic and spot another CR/TD fan in the crowd

-Angela

i scanned and put up some pics on yahoo. not all of them, but some good ones of the show. i still have some leftover pics on a roll that hasn't been developed. will get to that one another time.

enjoy!

LA & CityWalk photos

I am so glad the reviews finally got posted. They were all dead on. And they reminded of some the stuff that was working its way out of my brain. I was way too tired when I got home to put up a review and now I don't feel its needed. You guys really covered everything. Thanks. Just make sure to do the same for tonight and all the rest of the upcoming shows. Who's covering the europe shows???
O-Town!!! Oh my god, Adam's preaching was hilarious!
And to anybody who had somebody singing badly behind them, I am sorry (no, it wasn't me! I was towards the front with my friend) but I can top your troubles. During the 2nd set, there was a guy who started on my left side and ended up on my right side. But on his way he was totally invading my personal space. I mean there was friction! EWWW! Sorry, I didn't mention it, Marcella. But James was behind us and he told me later that he had been thinking about the quickest way to get the guy down on the ground. Now that would've made an interesting highlight to the show. Sorry, I am completely off topic here but I just had to b*tch about this guy. Uck!
Now, that I am over that, can I just say that I loved this show. The big screen antics were so funny. I think Adam and Eric and, of course, Ken and Mike were all in top form.
You can see my pics in a few days at www.theslayer.de.tf
under Elizabeth's special pictures.
Have fun tonight guys.

elizabeth ann

Damn you all!

*hee*

I really wanted to meet everyone at the show , but all kinds of things went wrong and then i got there like 15 min before it started (yet somehow i still got right up front...) So maybe next time.

TB- We didnt meet, but i think i saw you...I had Eric and Adam talk into my little tape recorder and they kinda passed it around, and i think u were there...

Magz-I wanted to see u there too! Its just so hard to find people. Next time Ill just go introduce myself to everyone lol

Ok I just got off the phone with my friend and he is coming tonite! Good thing cuz everyone else flaked on me! Grrr.

Oh well. Just spent the day with Melissa and Stef at Disneyland. We had fun

In response to this post...

Otter-hehe loved your end statement. Hope to see you tonite. Look for the girl with the Tigger backpack on. Tis me

Fresno-I was near the stage. The girl with the Tigger backpack. I'm afraid that guy might have been my friend's friend. Cuz we were standing near you. Sorry about that if it was.

Danielle-yeah I said hi into the tape recorder. Hehe you can hear my crazy high pitched squeal. *snicker*

So I shall see all of you tonite! *bounce bounce* This is gonna rock!

Cool pictures Dana! They came out great. I like the one of me & you in front of the stage. And I love the Van Halen one. That's too funny!

Talk to you later!

TB- I don't think it was a friend of yours. I remember where you guys were and we were just a touch over from you. The guy wasn't realy hanging with anybody, I think. But if it was your friends friend- eewww! He should know better then to invade some strange womens space!

So-- opinions on tonights show? Energy better then Citywalks?

I finally got internet access!! I just wanted to say the City Walk show rocked... as did the Hotel Cafe gig! Melissa and I were lucky enough to get there in time for soundcheck - they played "Don't Let's Start" I got the whole show on video and gave Adam a copy on Tuesday. I got all of the Tuesday gig on tape, but my battery crapped out again in the middle of "Fortunate". So once again, I missed taping the unplugged "Oklahoma" But other than that both tapes tuned out really well! I also got both set lists (as well as the one from Tuesday... if anyone wants me to post them, I will).

I am too tired to write a proper review, so I'll just do the shout-outs

TB - It was great to see you again! Sorry you missed part of the first set... but you'll have your copy soon enough Thanks for taking us to Disneyland, believe it or not, I did enjoy myself. Hope you enjoyed the Buffy sites!

Shelly & Ronia - it was great to meet you guys! I'm so glad you found me... I don't think I would have found you guys among all the fans.

Marcella - (I hope I got your name right... I know you leark) :P Very nice meeting you on Tuesday! Hope to see you next time I'm in town.

Deborah - You swiped my setlist off the stage! I got another one though :P I was videoing next to you.

Adam - Thanks for the autographs and the Tuesday setlist. Thanks for all those hugs, the CD for my friend (I got it Rach!), and the info for the site. You were so sweet to do it. I'll add it when I get home.

Mike - Thanks for signing my setlist! You rock! I have some crazy pix of you from Saturday too... you and your rose :P It was nice chatting with you b4 the set on Tuesday too!

Eric - Thanks for singing my CD and setlist on Tuesday. The pix were awsome as well! And your new solo song from Tuesday was amazing! I hope it makes the new album!

Ken - Thanks for singing my setlist too. It was great chatting with you. Thanks for the hug b4 I left - I hope it won't be the last

Oh, wow that was longer than I thought it would be. Oh well.

Stef,

It was great meeeting you & Melissa, too. It's too bad we didn't get to talk more. You both seem very nice. I hope we didn't startle you running up to you like we did. (Really, we weren't two crazy people coming to bother you! lol) I wish I could see the tape you made on Saturday! I bet it came out aweseome. Maybe someday we'll meet up again & have more time to chat.

Take Care,
Shell

Stef!!!
You're back from the show!! hugz.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou SO much for getting the band to sign the CD for me! I am going to think of
some way to thank you...some how. lol.

Sounded like you had fun at the shows. Would
have loved to be there. I heard an mp3 from
the citywalk of Oklahoma, where Adam is preaching
about O-town. Damn that was funny. Love it if you
posted the set lists. Well, im outts, I must work
on my website, still trying to write a proper bio
on Adam. One that is at least a little bit of my own knowledge. Maybe I should email him about that. Maybe
he'll help me out abit.

Well, hope to talk to ya soon, stef! I think you are still in Vancouver. Ttyl. And again:
Thankyou thankyou thankyou thanks!!
__rachel
PS: *thanks!* (hehe)

Stef-you got internet access! Hehe yay I'm glad you had fun at Disneyland, I was a bit worried there. I had a blast with you and Melissa and Nicole going around to the Buffy exteriors and stuff and seeing the tapes. Sucks your cam cut out during Oklahoma again!
But watching those tapes was great cuz I got to see the first set from Sat. And they still didn't do Burgandy. Grrrr. That's it Adam, you owe me Burgandy Or well us. *g* You know we love it! Anyways have a safe drive back home and I will talk to you online again soon. Give Melissa my love Francie too.

Rach - You're quite welcome. Melissa got your drawing signed too. Adam said "wow, that's awome!" :P

And I forgot one last time...

Briel - You remember on Tuesday when Adam grabbed you into a pic? That was me taking the pic I didn't know it was you, or I would have said something. When I get my pix online, I'll let you know.

Anyone who cares - We will be doing some serious scanning soon. We have tons of pix from the 24th and 27th, not to mention pix from both shows in April yet to scan. We will also be working on getting video clips and mp3's from these 4 shows up at Adam-Busch.net asap. Keep your eyes out for my post... I'll let you all know when everything's up.

Now it's just a matter of getting the connections working...

I can't wait to see more of TB's pix

see inside a model's mind: http://www.livejournal.com/users/aimercat
and while you're at it....help send me to Barbados...
www.passiontour.com then click "modeling contest", click "search by name", type "Amy H" (female duh!) and VOTE VOTE VOTE (you don't have to be a member, just have an email addy)

Stef~ Yeah I e-mailed you about that. I guess you didn't get it? I can't wait to see it. And I can't wait to see all your other pics and video clips...sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you!

Steph-
mp3s of some of the songs would be so incredible! As an Illinois fan I have only seen CR perform once and I am hooked.
Thank you for doing this!
(Your website is really great by the way!)

Briel - Sorry, I didn't get your email. I've had problems like that before. I'll email you though when I get the pix online, so you can see. The pic is rather cute :P

Danielle - thanks for contributing your pix! I've already added a link :P Very cool!

Gwen - When you get all your pix online, can I get the url so I can link to them at Adam-Busch.net? I really want to print the one of me, Melissa, Eric, Adam & Todd. That was a great shot... even though Eric looked so incredibly drunk :P

Anyone else got any pix online I can put up on or link to from Adam-Busch.net? If you got pix, email me! I'll be more than happy to give them a nice little home in the A-B.net image gallery

And as for mp3s... I am shooting for video clips first. The picture on both videos (especially CW) is exceptionally good quality! I was extremely impressed! I'm not too sure if the sound quality is good enough to be heard without the picture though. I'll have to go back to the tapes and see. We definately need some "Fortunate", "All My Time" and "Post Modern" multimedia happening around here! Am I right?

Sorry if this posts more than once... the board is being difficult again, ugh.

Oops... thank so much Kristy So glad you enjoy it.
