Tampa show!

great performance! she opened with Stand Back - pleasant surprise - but everything else was the Same (if i remember correctly). lots of new outfit combinations. boots the whole time. frizzzzzy hair thanks to our 100% humidity did the Edge walk and wore gloves, which looked RIDICULOUS in the middle of a floridian summer.

they were enforcing the No Cameras thing big time. i didn't bother to bring mine in but i did get a few good shots on my phone. nothing clear enough to share. a few ladies got Very snippy with security after being asked to put away the cameras. there are signs everywhere, please don't get pissy!

one major complaint that has nothing to do with stevie: TICKETMASTER SUCKS. shocking, right? i bought tix in Row H on the side. the side sections begin with Row F so these were great seats, third row on the aisle. well, someone propped up two chairs in front and called it Row E. so now we're in the fourth row. security did their job GRRR and didn't let us up - first three only - even while i rationally explained why we should be allowed up. i missed half of Sorceror, whatever was next, and GDW because i was hunting down the stage manager. Mike, great guy, had us escorted to the front. so that all ended well, but i felt bad for everyone else in Row H. sometimes you have to speak up to the right person.

great night. i was glad my dad came and he was SO excited to hear Landslide. she talked about her dad for a while and mine just looked so happy to be there. i went into tonight expecting the Same Old and got it. that's all right, because Same Old is a high energy show that leaves me smiling, even if i've already had Same Old eleven times before.

one more thing - for amber if she's still around: stevie belted the "my lonely oo-oONE" toward the end of HSML. it's small, but it was fantastic.

didn't recognize anyone there. anyone have something to add?
