That was probably Jan, I met her at the Hershey show. Very nice lady - she somehow arranged to go to Houston for work purposes at the same time Mac was there. Impressive!

Just a quick note as my two girls are going to think that the computer is a part of me.....
I'm the local lurker that Jake referred to. I had lawn seats and was supposed to attend with my husband. Tip for the day-software engineers do not know everything about computers!! He had deleted some of my files about 2 hours before the show. It would have been our first time out since the birth of our youngest but oh well...I went without him determined to get a seat instead of sitting on the lawn.
I went up to the booth and asked what the best single ticket they had...pit, first row. After muttering a few words that I can't type I bought it. My god, what a great show! I touched Lindsey's guitar and had a great time.
I'll try to write more if the girls nap later. Just wanted to say that I have lurked for a while and really enjoy reading all of the posts!

ok I'm another lurker who made promises to post. I was at the Houston show and met Jake and Christy. Very nice meeting both of you. Don't have much to add about the concert except I did have the best seat in the house. I was directly in front of Stevie on the first row so obviously it was fantastic. I took some pictures but they didn't come out. Guess I was shaking too much. The only problem was the drunk woman Jake mentionned. She was singing louder than Stevie and believe me not as well. I asked her to be quiet and she did for awhile but other than that a perfect night.

ok, see this? Does anyone know how loud you can sing until people hear you? I sang at my last one, but it seemed the music was so loud that no one could possibly hear me. Apparently that may not have been the case. But now I'll be second row stevie's side, and of course i don't want to distract her, but I know myself, I can't EVER resist singing to the mac, in fact I have semi nightly concerts in my livingroom (If you want to come, the cost is a beer ). Someone slap me, I want to avoid embarrassing myself! Should i wear a ball gag? hehehe.

I was at last night's show, I was on the lawn, great concert! I missed like the first half hour thinking that there was an opening act, they were in top and very
candid form last night!

Houston loves FM! I was amazed at all the people that were there, it looked pretty much sold out! Great concert, great night! I miss them already!

She wasn't singing, she was drunk/obnoxious-ing. Singing is when you are on key and remember the right words. I am LIVID about her coming up front, and yeah, dumbass played Lindsey's guitar during....wait for it....I KNOW I'M NOT WRONG. Wasted, obnoxious and a moronic idiot doesn't even BEGIN to describe this woman.

there were drunken idiots in Houston far worse than those in Dallas? (See my "Texas 2 step...or Mac Does Dallas review) Man that royally sucks!!!

The venues should adapt what OKC did with the Metallica show May 14, "All alcohol sales will cease at 8:20PM due to the artist's request".

I hope you had a great time non-the-less my friendly Ledgie...

Yea, even though I LOVE a cocktail, I have to agree, they should just cut it off. Too many people cannot handle themselves. Sad, very true

Metallica requested it were #1-James is a recovering alcoholic and it reportedly bothers him now to see others getting blitzed at a show, #2-The band is always responsible for any damage that is substained to the venue during a show (In the Metallica box set "Live S--t:Binge & Purge" there is a contract rider from the 1992 San Diego concert at the "Sports Arena" where Metallica had to pay over $30,000 to the promoters for repairs due to damages to the venue caused by unrully fans!!!)

I have no problem with those who drink in moderation at a show, But damn don't get blitzed and ruin it for those around you.

[earthdreamer]

I don't drink, and that bothers me that there were those kind of people down there by the band, it doesn't say very much about Houston, even though I am sure there were plenty of transplants there, I can't even identify with my own hometown anymore, there are so damn many of them!

Just my 2 cents

[MammaTango]

I was very lucky...I had an aisle seat and the guy next to me was not drinking. I like to drink, but not out in the heat. I felt like I had a hangover this morning and all I had were a few sips of bottled water!

[BBALLGYPSY17]

On a lighter note, this just makes me feel better about ANYTHING any Lindsey fan has *ever* said about Stevie

So, what's wrong with that?? Always the contradiction with you. You claim you admire John Mayer, but here it seems Lindsey has settled down and truly has become a "family man" and you mock it. Doesn't make much sense to me.

And for the record, John Mayer dated Jennifer Love Hewitt for a couple of months. If you know anything about her, you know she goes through a new guy every week. Of course he's going to say that crap, doesn't mean he actually practices what he preaches. You, of all people, should be able to recognize that.
