Some Michigan pics

Just got back from the Mt. Clemens show about 3 hours ago now....... very good show I didn't write down the setlist but it sounds like it was pretty much the same as a lot of the other shows...... no surprises that I am aware of....... I have to admit there was 1 song that I didn't know what it was--horrible I know It was during the encore--probably one that he is doing at all of the shows but I just didn't know it--I don't have the new CD yet Okay so I like Lindsey but when it comes to his solo stuff I have to admit I don't know all of his songs.......... Anyways--my fav from the show was probably Second Hand News (lame to most of you probably I know) but I just freakin' love that song I also love his new song It Was You!! Was right up there with Second Hand News for me. But anyways, the Emerald Theatre is a pretty tiny place. The first time I've ever been there--but it was pretty cool. We didn't get there until around 7:30 and unfortunately this show as all general admission so all of the main floor seating was full We ended up sitting in the balcony but the place is so small that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. When we walked in they didn't even check us but made sure to tell us that there were to be no cameras for this show. UGH!! So I got my camera in no problem but was basically a chicken to try and use it too much. I didn't want to get thrown out or hassled so I waited until about the middle of the show before I even tried taking any pics. I saw some flashes down below but couldn't tell if people were getting yelled at or not.......... as far as security in the balcony--there was pretty much none to see.......... I would say about 4 times during the whole show a security guy walked past but then he would go back downstairs........ When I first took pics I didn't use a flash because again I didn't want to get yelled at....... unfortunately not using a flash pretty much equals blurry pictures!! So I tired at least!! ha ha A few came out but not too many. During the final bows I decided I was just going to use my flash--screw it! So probably the last 5 pics I took were the clearest because they were taken with the flash. I really need to figure out what I'm doing with this camera so hopefully I can figure out how to not use flash but get a halfway decent pic........ I'm not totally thrilled with my camera at the moment either and I just bought it this last August--but that is a whole other story. It does have a big zoom though so that is a plus. Anyways--here are the pics that I took--there will be 14 in all. I probably took about 30 total but these were the best that I could get......... and I don't know what it is about me and cameras but everytime I take a pic it seems like whoever it is closes their eyes....... I just have crappy luck when it comes to picture taking I guess!! Enjoy!
