^^^

The sign SAID $20. I bitched about the price (and the sign,) to which he answered, "Sorry. Do you want it or not?"

It was 5 til 8 and there was a crowd behind me. I paid the higher price, shut up and got out of there.

Betsy,

I don't envy you and am glad I did not have that experience, but your comments are so funny. Ah, I am sure it is wrong to be glad that someone else suffered just because their description of the suffering gives me such pleasure!

Your security guard sounds like quite a character. He needs to have his own sitcom. I was looking at the security guard at the San Diego show and feeling that he was hired more for his girth than for his ability to keep things . . . secure. The drunk people who squeezed in next to me were not intimidated by him at all. I wish I had your guy. I think he would have kept them in their place. The problem is, he spoiled the concert for many fans who were not doing anything except trying to enjoy the show. That's a rotten shame.

As for that light, I know during a quiet moment at one of the concerts, someone yelled at Lindsey, "We love your music, but can you stop that light from shining in our eyes. It's really blinding." Lindsey did not address the comment. He turned and said something to one of the crew people, but I don't know if his comment was about the light. I do know that the lighting didn't change.

A whole pack of signed CDs for $95. Wow, Lindsey's people are really catching on to this merchandising thing.

When I fill out the livenation surveys, I always say I bought tons of merchandise, hoping that that will mean there's plenty of good stuff when FM goes on tour again.

Well, I'm glad Lindsey put on a good (if loud) show and sorry you got trampled on, hit in the head, etc. Michele

I am glad my daughter went with me. She's 22 and works at Home Depot. She works the 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. shift and was tired...but she went. I made her eat her Arby's sandwich and I held her drink as we walked to the venue.

I kept encouraging her to "Hurry up," as we ran as many stop lights as we could...even though the orange hand was saying "No go."

Her rememberance of the concert was that she thought it was funny...watching "all these old guys" (the term she used was "senior citizens") rushing the stage and have a fat guy push them back.

(Her groups are Rise Against, Blue October, TV Smith etc.) and she tells me about being in the ? mosh pit?

Anyhow, thanks for reading...it was fun to share.

(On to OK and KC!)

Oh, gawd it sounds exactly like the Stevie Nicks concert at Soboba in May 2007 that a few of us Ledgies went to. Security even tried to stop us from shaking Stevie's hand during her Edge-walk and we were front row center to begin with.

Luckily, the three Lindsey Cali shows, including San Diego, that I went to security, left us alone; especially at Royce Hall were they didn't even have any security. Sounds like a nightmare. They always blame it on the band. No one tried to play Lindsey's guitar in Cali but I did grab his foot at Royce Hall and he didn't seem to care. Strange he pulled his guitar back though.

Thanks.

Now, I am starting to get angry. Do I have this big sign that says S-U-C-K-E-R pasted on my forehead??

I bought a front row seat (Row D) which ended up NOT being front row, (thank you Ticketmaster for your inaccurate seating chart) and then the souvenir vendor ripped me off for $15.

I should get a job at Warner Brothers Cartoon holding up the Sucker Sign.

thanks for posting that video! any others out there?

Betsy - I'd call and see about getting some $$$ back - I think the vendor guy didn't know how much they were as the sign did say $20.
