The_Enemy_Within Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 So, originally my sister and I had row 20, on Alex's side. However, got to the venue, met up with my pal who some of you may know as Neil's motorcycle buddy / the security guy. He asked us where we were sitting, told him about 20th row, and then he gave us a wristband, which meant we got to stand at the barricade the ENTIRE show. My sister, 12, cried out of happiness! So we stood center-left... mostly to the left of the stage, in front of Alex. OMG! We also had a sign made. I put....... Bring Us 2 (sticks) Bubba! Intermission came... and I see the Mike walking up with both of the sticks in his hands. He handed it to another guard to hand over to us. Another RUSH of excitement... Then the other security guy came around... not too sure of his name... but he handed us each a Time Machine guitar pick. And when the guys threw shirts out before their encore songs, Alex looked right at me and lightly tossed the shirt to me so I could catch it. I was SO stoked, and just the way he looked down at my sister and I melted us. THE SHOW ITSELF... ...Was great! The guys had a TON of energy as always, and I definitely saw Neil smiling a lot, which is always good. The setlist had me pumped, the lighting had me pumped. The ONLY thing I wish they could have done was the fire. I know they did it in WI, since I was there... so I'm not 100% why they didn't do it tonight. Wasn't working? Or maybe the stage was too small? Either way, the show was NOT a disappointment. Such a wonderful memory to have. I love the boys SO much. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs161.snc4/37404_1516377198157_1496301627_1303607_7169032_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs139.snc4/37264_1516375598117_1496301627_1303602_1149251_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs078.snc4/35274_1516434479589_1496301627_1303774_63289_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get a chance to look at the tour shirts this year, but I don't think so, since it's the ones they throw out before the encore. They may sell some on ebay or something, though, once more people get them maybe... I mean, if anyone would wanna sell it for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krinkle Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I think the reason there was no fire during Caravan was because of the wind. It was really gusty and those flames (that bake us thirty rows back) would have started the entire stage on fire. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I can see the wind causing concern. It would suck if the guys all ended up in the burn unit awaiting skin grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
