Thank you so, so much for the photos. I made it but had this insane night where I managed to forget my phone, wallet, and camera!!!! Used my friends iPhone but I'm under 5' and was row 33 on the floor, had I had my camera with its incredible zoom lens and HD video capacity, I'm sure I could've gotten great shots.... And don't get me started on traffic and you probably missed out on the parking fiasco... Wow... I swear it was Friday the 13th or something. Everything that could go wrong did for me. But we showed up after something like 2.5hrs on the road that should've been only 30mins (and we left with so much time to spare!) and did score floor seats we bought on the spot from the box office. That worked out at least! And I had a blast! My friend was so incredibly generous too, were both on vacation and his finances are tight so the original plan was I would buy but not only did he buy, he let me pick up two shirts and a poster (so happy for the poster, post show in Detroit they were all sold out). Granted Im paying him back but wow, so kind.
Would you mind if I were to print some of your photos for my own personal use? I'm a bit of a scrapbooker and have been wanting to make a really cool book of photos from concerts I've been to, favorite lyrics, etc, so completely private use. No idea when I will even get around to it but seriously should I even happen to share any photos of my scrapbook once it's made that show your pics, I will even give you credit. I know you posted them publicly anyway but just wanted to be polite and ask. I'm so grateful and after I cried over the forgotten camera, I finally calmed down realizing undoubtedly someone would share photos here.
Will try and remember to add my thoughts later, I'm exhausted. Somehow medical issues and all (and Im in ridiculously poor health, honestly) I managed to dance and sing at the top of my lungs and have a blast. Floor seats were fun though I couldn't see the band much of the time due to my height. Met a bunch of hardcore fans. In fact I kept wondering if the woman in front of me might be a Ledgie. I was tiny redhead in Stevie clothes in row 33 (seat numbers were all screwy and we moved when people left and never quite got our actual seats) anyway woman was probably 40's, with at least two men on either side of her. She kept smiling back at me and seemed even more fueled by my enthusiasm. Half wanted to slide into her row and dance with her. Anyway, on the off chance she ever sees this, thanks. You fueled me too. And not everyone was necessarily happy with my loud singing so, you helped make it more fun! I really wish I could've thanked her honestly, and I don't know, no one here knows what I actually look like so probably wasn't a Ledgie but she should be, her and I were the near constant singers and dancers in our area, knew the set list and all. Anyway, female fan in front of me, you rock!
Totally would love to try and meet some Ledgies at a future show. Im a naturally very enthusiastic sort of person, figure the other diehards would enjoy my company, as I would them. Even my friend told me I'm more fun than the actual concert. :P
So I guess I'm feeling pretty darn happy inspite of everything.
BTW, maybe it was just where I was sitting but what did everyone else think of the volume? Lowest volume of the three shows I went to and seems the bass was a bit low at first but improved. (I'm in love with Mac bass lines. John inspired me to start learning bass! I basically only know how to play a few Mac songs.)
Anyway, I had a blast. Though curious about anyone else who got caught in the traffic and parking insanity... Easily up to half of the concert goers were totally screwed and way late like us, it was wild. Bad wild.
