Hey Jill. Don't mean to burst your bubble, but I was at Holmdel and we didn't see or get anything signed by the band. The tour books were indeed signed when we arrived. At first I thought maybe you had the wrong venue, but I did see you posted the backstage pics, so I know it was Holmdel. The only people who showed up while security was having us leave were the members of the backup band. We did get to say hello to Sharon, and Carlos and the rest of them, but that was it. No one from the Mac actually arrived until about a half hour later.

As far as the tour. It was pretty cool. John Iverson was a great guy. Very nice. We did get to go into the small "dressing tents" on the stage. Stevie's had a large rubbermaid container of stuffed animals, and the set list was taped to the mirror. In the other dressing tent there was a bowl of banannas and a box of gas-ex! The seats were very good. 2nd row, which is the best I've ever gotten, but there were 2 people in front of us (if you look at the photos it's the young kid with the baseball cap, and the woman he's with) who showed up right before the show and got front row. They didn't know each other or anything, just both got lucky. I guess I've heard that a lot, that if you only need one ticket usually you can do really well right before the show. Anyway, I think it was cool to do it once, but I wouldn't do it again for that $$
